Our Commitment To U.S. Supplier Diversity

Diverse Suppliers, Stronger Future

At bioMérieux, our commitment to fostering a more diverse and sustainable supply chain is part of the Extended Company pillar of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) ambition. Our responsibility extends all the way from purchasing through distribution – across the entire value chain.

We practice nondiscrimination and equal opportunity in all areas of our business by considering diverse suppliers of goods and services; contractors; and subcontractors.

Diversity in our vendor base is crucial for several reasons:

Innovation and Creativity

A diverse pool of suppliers brings different perspectives and ideas to the table, fostering innovation and creativity in our products and services.

Community Impact

By engaging with a diverse range of suppliers, we can support and uplift underrepresented communities, promoting economic growth and prosperity.

Risk Mitigation

Diversifying our supplier base helps mitigate risks associated with overreliance on a single supplier, ensuring continuity and sustainability of operations even in challenging times.

Responsibility

By embracing supplier and vendor diversity, we remain steadfast in our commitment to be a socially responsible organization.

“We're dedicated to expanding our supplier network, enhancing our ability to contribute to a healthier world and positively impacting the communities we serve.”

Colin Hill, General Manager and Head of Clinical Operations, North America, bioMérieux
