About us

Supplier diversity

At Eversheds we value diversity and recognise that it is key to achieving an efficient and flexible supply chain. Diversity is welcomed with equal opportunities for all businesses regardless of ethnic origin, gender, disability, age, sexuality and faith.

We will engage small, medium and large businesses to support our objectives for competitive and innovative supply solutions.

Through comprehensive and thorough supplier vetting and selection processes, we will endeavour to provide opportunities to a diverse range of suppliers that will develop their skills and expertise to meet potential needs of Eversheds and other organisations.

We will work through Accenture who are responsible for our procurement with our suppliers to develop their understanding of Eversheds’ approach to diversity and appoint the most appropriate suppliers developing our supply base to reflect our principles.

We use a global supply chain questionnaire including questions on equality and diversity, corporate responsibility and the environment, which is used with our key suppliers.

Through our relationship with Accenture, we are members of Minority Supplier Development UK and also work in partnership with Supply London.  Read the Supply London case study here and Read the MSDUK case study here.
