ExxonMobil spending with U.S. diverse suppliers 1 Millions of dollars
In 2010, we set a goal to spend $1 billion annually on MWBEs in the United States by 2012. We met this goal in 2011 and have maintained a level of spend with minority- and women-owned suppliers greater than $1 billion per year for the past four years. In 2015, we met our target of $1 billion in spending with diverse suppliers in the United States, with the following classifications: minority-owned businesses; women-owned businesses; small businesses; lesbian-, gay-, bisexual- and transgender-owned businesses; veteran-owned businesses; service-disabled veteran-owned businesses; and businesses owned by people with disabilities. Suppliers from these groups have contributed to our total diverse spending in order to ensure a more inclusive supply chain. To complement this effort, our supplier diversity database allows suppliers from traditionally underrepresented groups in the United States to register an interest in being an ExxonMobil supplier. Our supplier diversity program is steadily expanding into the international arena. In total, we spent $277 million with women-, indigenous- and other minority-owned businesses in select areas outside the United States in 2015. We continue to partner with WEConnect International to increase the participation of women-owned businesses in our supply chain around the world. In addition to providing financial support, we have participated in WEConnect International advisory councils in Brazil, Canada, Europe, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru and South Africa. In May 2015, ExxonMobil participated in the first WEConnect International Exhibition and Matchmaker event to help provide networking opportunities for women business owners drawn from the 36 states in Nigeria. At this event, ExxonMobil Upstream companies in Nigeria received two awards recognizing our support of WEConnect supplier diversity programs. One award was for contributing to the growth of WEConnect and recognized the success of a “meet the buyer” event that was sponsored by ExxonMobil and attended Supplier diversity database
by representatives from more than 300 women-owned businesses in Nigeria. At this event, attendees received training on how to conduct business with multinational programs and on ExxonMobil Foundation programs. The second award was for distinguished corporate sponsorship of WEConnect and our contributions toward inclusive economic growth in Nigeria. The event contributed to an increase in the number of registered suppliers and business contracts awarded in Nigeria. In 2015, ExxonMobil spending with women-owned businesses in Nigeria was $16.8 million, an increase of 6.3 percent from 2014.
