Our Commitment to Supplier Diversity

CIBC's commitment to a fair and inclusive work environment extends into the supplier community. To support this commitment, we work hard to ensure our supplier community represents the clients and communities we serve, using a fair and inclusive procurement program to select and manage our supplier relationships.

We’re dedicated to maximizing and providing opportunities for diverse businesses, including those owned and operated by Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, small businesses, veterans, Black individuals, people of colour, and women. Additionally, we strive to support enterprises whose employee base and supply chain reflect a diverse workforce.

Our goals include:

• Expanding access for small and diverse suppliers in our procurement processes.
• Partnering with suppliers who prioritize diversity in their supply chains.
• Offering mentorship and guidance to help small and diverse businesses thrive.
• Championing the success of small and diverse suppliers within CIBC and industry networks.
• Engaging in initiatives and events that promote growth and opportunities for diverse business communities.
