Supplier Diversity

  • VWR works with the best-in-class certified minority, women, veteran, and small business suppliers.
  • Our progress in the area of Supplier Diversity has made us a better supplier to our customers as well as a better and more competitve company.
  • In 2011, VWR worked with the Diversity Alliance for Science Organization to mentor a diverse supplier looking to pursue new business opportunities.

Supplier Sustainability Charter

  • VWR is also working to drive sustainable business practices into our supply chain by educating our suppliers on the value of sustainability and driving innovation among our suppliers to better meet the needs of our customers. We have developed a Supplier Sustainability Charter to help our suppliers uphold the appropriate environmental, labor, community, and business principles. This will help to raise awareness and provide support to our supply base to build the tenets of sustainability into their operations.
