"Easy Setup of Supplier Diversity Program"
Our Client
Our client is Unilever, UK, a leading consumer goods company.
The Challenge
Unilever faced the challenge of effectively identifying diverse businesses within its extensive supplier network. With a vast array of suppliers spanning various regions and industries, pinpointing enterprises owned by individuals from diverse backgrounds and other diversity-focused entities such as female-owned businesses and B-corp-certified companies proved daunting.
The Solution
By employing our data enrichment technique, which included demographic analysis, ownership profiling, and certification validation, DataGardener enabled Unilever to pinpoint over 100 suppliers belonging to the desired diversity categories accurately. This data-driven approach provided Unilever with invaluable insights into the composition of its supplier network, empowering it to uphold its commitment to diversity and inclusion.
The Results
Within minutes, the client obtained diverse supplier lists, a process that typically takes weeks. They identified over 100+ diverse suppliers within their network, including ethnic minority-owned, female-owned, and B-corp-certified businesses, thereby significantly boosting supplier diversity.
