Getting Started
Bristol-Myers Squibb provides equal access to our business opportunities and aims to ensure that the organizations with which we do business reflect the diversity of our customers and the communities where we live and work. We're proud of the important contributions that our suppliers and partners have made to the quality and reputation of our medicines. Our Supplier Diversity office has played—and continues to play—a valuable role in helping us reach out to a wide range of business partners.
What is Certification?
Minorities and women who own businesses may become certified by one of several advocacy organizations. In general, certification is granted to business owners who are women and/or minorities: African-American, Asian-American, Hispanic-American, Native-American, or a U.S. citizen who is lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. Owners of certain small businesses may also qualify to be certified.
How to Become Certified
Bristol-Myers Squibb prefers to accept registrations for our Supplier Diversity program from certified business enterprises. We recognize a number of organizations that offer certification. Please visit our Helpful Websites page for more information.
