Diversity 2025
Calling All Vendors
Are you interested in becoming part of the Diversity 2025 vendor project for Tek Pak? Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA), is felt to include all similarities and differences we each possess based on, but not limited to, the characteristics we were born with, experiences had, and choices made. Tek Pak embraces a working relationship with a multiplicity of vendors and suppliers. Eight percent of our current vendor portfolio includes organizations representing diversity, inclusion, and equity. We are committed to providing Small Businesses and diverse suppliers equal access to our sourcing needs. By 2025, our goal is to build a more diverse, resilient, and responsible supply chain vendor base to include 15% or more of Diversity Compliant suppliers. Tek Pak was also recognized by the Daily Herald as a 2023 Diversity in Business award honoree.
