United Properties launches Vendor & Supplier Diversification Program and hosts first Annual Diverse Vendor Fair

In 2022, the Vendor & Supplier Diversification Task Force worked together to design United Properties’ Vendor & Supplier Diversification Program, which launched in March 2023. The program aims to grow and expand the diversification of vendors and suppliers that we partner with. • Commitment: United Properties is committed to developing and fostering a diverse and inclusive supply chain — one that is reflective of the communities where we work and live. Our Vendor & Supplier Diversification Program focuses on partnerships with businesses owned by women and minorities to promote innovation, support economic growth, and create opportunities for all. This initiative is essential to our mission of deepening our commitment to diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging. • Mission: United Properties is committed to expanding procurement opportunities for minority- and women-owned businesses in our communities. United Properties established a Vendor & Supplier Diversification Task Force to ensure effective, accelerated, and sustainable diversification.
