Supply Chain Management

Supplier Diversity

Symantec understands the value and importance of having a diverse network of suppliers. Symantec is committed to continuously enhancing our methods of outreach and reporting and identifying additional opportunities for our valued suppliers.

By turning to innovators, visionaries and other high achievers with varied backgrounds, experiences and perspectives--our employees, our partners and our suppliers--we foster an environment where uniqueness is valued and empowered.

Highlights of our commitment to supplier diversity:

Symantec currently outsources 100 percent of the US manufacturing of our consumer, availability & enterprise software products to a certified Minority Business Enterprise/Small Business Enterprise (MBE/SBE), a subcontract that is valued at over four percent of Symantec's annual US qualified spend on suppliers.
We have several significant relationships with women-owned and minority-owned firms for various areas of indirect spending and Value-Added Reseller relationships, such as consulting and software purchases.
Symantec’s Supplier Diversity Program is excited to have been recently featured in the “Leading Supplier Diversity Executives” issue of the Profiles In Diversity Journal.
