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.

Our aim is to create sustainable relationships with a diverse supply base and work with suppliers compatible in their approach to diversity and inclusivity.

We will work 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 have created a global supply chain questionnaire including questions on equality and diversity, corporate responsibility and the environment, which has been successfully piloted with eight key suppliers. We have now rolled this out to all major suppliers and will be using it in all new tenders.
