We expect our suppliers to share our values around inclusion for all and to further opportunities for qualified small and other underutilized businesses within their own procurement processes. Mastercard suppliers who subcontract work to qualified underutilized business enterprises (direct Tier 2) or use such enterprises to provide goods and services contributing to their business (indirect Tier 2), will be viewed as supporting and adding value to Mastercard’s inclusive supply chain.
Our wide variety of purchasing opportunities includes businesses and consulting services, marketing, software and more.
Mastercard looks to a number of highly respected third-party organizations for certified qualified suppliers.
