Supplier Diversity Program
To remain a superior global food company in the 21st century, Kellogg Company recognizes that it must have the strongest possible resources to support its business growth. An essential part of that strength is acquiring raw materials and other products and services from the widest and best base of resources.
To build this base, Kellogg Company is committed to developing a comprehensive and innovative supplier diversity program. By cultivating strategic procurement relationships with W/MBE-owned, controlled and operated businesses that supply products and services Kellogg purchases, we will foster the growth of these businesses while promoting the long-term growth of the Kellogg Company.
