An alliance that drives enhanced and sustainable inclusion spend in supply chains, globally

SDI’s Supplier Portal + Inclusive Procurement Platform: Empowering the best small and diverse suppliers with unprecedented opportunities for growth and business.

IWEC is excited to welcome you to SDI’s Supplier Portal and Inclusive Procurement Platform (IPP), which we introduced to you during the 2017 and 2018 IWEC conferences.

Our sponsor and partner SDI, one of the largest certified woman- and Hispanic-owned procurement companies in the world, fulfills global clients’ projects by identifying and recommending qualified suppliers for daily sourcing needs.  SDI’s clients and markets are expanding and need to identify large populations of qualified suppliers for opportunities that typically go to non-diverse providers due to vetting complexities. SDI’s Supplier Portal and its diverse component, the Inclusive Procurement Platform (IPP) eliminate sourcing and contracting hurdles and match MWBE suppliers with unprecedented revenue and direct business opportunities with SDI’s Fortune 500 customers.
