As we define our position in this growing and changing marketplace, two things are fundamental to our success:
- Surrounding our company with a diverse Supplier base
- Striving to provide equal opportunity for all companies who want to do business with us
Each year, we form alliances with an increasing number of diverse firms – clear evidence of the percentage of these businesses that are succeeding in today’s competitive business arena. More important, it speaks to the quality they represent. We choose diverse Suppliers because they:
- Reflect the stakeholder base we serve
- Furnish our company with outstanding commodities and services at competitive prices
- Demonstrate integrity and trust in their business practices
Our focus on supplier diversity is a corporate priority. It is another way we ensure our future success.

Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
Commitment to Supplier Diversity
At Duke Energy, it is our privilege, policy and practice to proactively seek diverse Suppliers. Through Supplier Diversity, we build relationships with businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans and HUBZone suppliers capable of providing commodities and services at competitive prices. We are committed to building bridges between these businesses and Duke Energy. We are continually striving to exceed our goals to establish lasting “win-win” relations that focus on creating value for all parties.
We encourage all Suppliers seeking to do business with Duke Energy to complete our Supplier Registration.
