​​​​Supplier Diversity
High Goals in Sight; High Standards Intact
CenterPoint Energy and Vectren recognize the economic importance of diverse suppliers such as minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran- owned and all categories of small business concerns to the economies of the nation, the state and the communities it serves, as well as the corporation itself.
We seek opportunities to assist in the development and competitiveness of diverse business enterprises through instruction, mentoring, and other outreach activities, such as the following:
- Participation in local, state, and national minority and women-owned business councils
- Sponsorship of various diversity tradeshows throughout our corporate footprint
- Sponsorship of networking events and educational workshops for diverse and prime (non-diverse) suppliers
- Capacity building and supplier mentoring
- Active second-tier business initiatives
