Our supplier diversity philosophy

Salas O’Brien is committed to creating a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive society. This includes finding diverse suppliers, subconsultants, and business partners to help in the work we do across markets. We know that by encouraging greater diversity of thought and expertise in our work, we’ll realize more innovative and successful solutions for our clients while supporting a more equitable world.

Our commitment to action

To support our efforts, we have established a Supplier Diversity Program with a dedicated committee and action plan to expand our reach and encourage consistent practices and education across our growing company. Our program creates opportunities for small and underrepresented businesses, including women-, minority-, and service-disabled veteran-owned, and is built on meaningful actions, measurable results, and self-accountability.

Our annual spend with diverse suppliers in 2023 was nearly 3x our spend in 2021. Together, we’ll realize more innovative and successful solutions for our clients while supporting a more equitable world. It’s a win-win-win.
