Supplier Diversity

In compliance with state and federal laws and regulation, Duke Energy does not discriminate on the basis of age, color, disability, gender identity or expression, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran status in any of our policies, procedures, or practices. This anti-discrimination policy covers admission and access to, and treatment, in all programs and activities.

Through our Supplier Diversity Program, Duke Energy cultivates partnerships with small, local and diverse businesses to support business growth by ensuring a pipeline of skilled suppliers capable of providing materials and contract labor at competitive prices. Increasing our supplier base drives down prices and drives up competitiveness and resiliency to serve customers.

Our commitment to those partnerships goes far beyond business transactions. By engaging with small, local and diverse businesses, we actively contribute to economic growth, job creation, and community vitality. We are dedicated to fostering an ecosystem where our suppliers can achieve long-term success, ultimately enhancing the well-being of the communities we serve.

This strategic community focus allows us to help make our supply chain more resilient, agile, and innovative. By tapping into a broad pool of suppliers, we gain access to fresh perspectives, unique solutions, and competitive pricing. This enhanced flexibility and creativity in our supply chain enables us to adapt quickly to changing market conditions and customer needs, driving overall business efficiency and growth.

For more information about our Supplier Diversity program, including the types of small, local and diverse business that are eligible to participate, please contact the Supplier Diversity team.
