Supplier Diversity Program: U.S. Application Process
This Supplier Diversity registration is the first step for potential procurement opportunities available at Credit Suisse to qualified underrepresented businesses, including but not limited to ethnic minority-, women-, lesbian/gay/bisexual and transgender (LGBT)-, disabled- and / or veteran-owned businesses, located in the United States.
We consider a business as an underrepresented business when at least 51% of the business is owned, operated, and controlled by underrepresented groups. In the case of publicly owned businesses, we ask that at least 51% of the stock be owned by members of an underrepresented group. Once we receive your information, it will become part of our Supplier Diversity Database, which is the main portal in Credit Suisse for access to Tier I suppliers.
The registration process for potential Tier I suppliers includes two steps:
1) Make sure that you are business-certified by one of the following qualified agencies:
- National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC)
- Women's Business Enterprise Council (WBENC)
- National Association of Women Owned Business Owners (NAWBO)
- Small Business Administration (SBA)
- National Women's Business Council (NWBC)
- The National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC)
- City, State, or Federal Agencies
2) Complete this form to register your interest in becoming a supplier to Credit Suisse. By submitting this form you are confirming that all the information is accurate and true.
