Who We Are
Suppliers provide significant value in helping Citi grow our business and support our clients. Procurement and Third-Party Management collaborates with suppliers that have the potential to deliver the highest quality products and services to our firm.
We foster mutually beneficial partnerships with suppliers that share our commitment to innovation, quality, community impact and sustainable progress. We raise awareness of our Procurement and Third-Party Management initiatives by identifying suppliers that bring innovative solutions that support our business objectives and advances economic opportunity in every market we serve.
Today, Citi Supplier Diversity encompasses all of Citi's businesses in the United States. The Supplier Diversity Program is responsible for supporting and encouraging Citi business groups to identify and include diverse suppliers and consultants in their purchasing activities. The Supplier Diversity Program maintains a list of diverse suppliers, seeks additional suppliers for referral to purchasing areas, and secures the assistance needed to help diverse suppliers meet our criteria in the procurement process.
