Supplier diversity is a part of our commitment to an inclusive corporate culture and building a healthy economy in the communities where our employees, and our suppliers, live and work.
Hallmark began building relationships with minority and women-owned businesses in the late 1960s and formalized a corporate-wide program in 1986. The initiative provides a process to ensure inclusion of minority, women, veteran & LGBT owned businesses that share our standards for quality, service, cost-effectiveness and competitive value in our supply chain. In 2015, that represented 6.8% of Hallmark purchases, and continues to represent on average 7% of Hallmark purchases.
We look for companies that can offer us:
- Advancing technologies that will help us create better products.
- New and unique processes that help us maintain our industry leadership.
- Products and services that will help us run our business efficiently.
We work with minority, women, veteran & LGBT owned firms in these areas:
- Automobile and fleet services
- Computer software
- Construction and engineering services
- Consulting services
- Contract manufacturing
- Direct mail services
- Flexible packaging services and supplies
- Injection molding
- Janitorial services
- Office supplies
- Printing services
- Promotional products
- Temporary employees
- Transportation services
And many more.
