  • What Qualifications Does Delta Look For In Its Suppliers?

    Companies that are certified as small, minority, and/or women-owned business enterprises have an opportunity to partner with Delta in delivering value through quality products and services to our company and our customers. Suppliers are chosen first on their ability to meet the needs of our business. All suppliers must meet the following criteria:

    • Understanding of Delta’s business
    • Total cost of ownership
    • “Value-added” capabilities
    • Good financial standing
    • References and a proven track record
    • Ability to grow and partner with Delta
    • Core competency in supplier’s line of business
    • Capacity
  • Second Tier Program

    The second tier initiative augments our Supplier Diversity program and increases our ability to include MWBE’s in our supply chains by requiring Delta’s primary contractors to utilize and report their spending with diverse suppliers. By doing so, our Supplier Diversity efforts are greatly enhanced and meaningful business opportunities are extended even more so to MWBEs.

    Facilitation and Support

    Being a good corporate citizen is important to Delta. Each year our supplier diversity team works with numerous MWBE's locally and nationally, sponsoring and participating in various activities and events to expand business opportunities and relationships within the MWBE communities in which it serves.

  • Awards and Recognition

    Delta’s small, minority and women-owned award recipients are selected based on the following criteria:

    • prestaties
    • innovatie
    • cost reduction/savings
    • outreach/community involvement
