Diversity
Our commitment to diversity and inclusion extends to the selection of our suppliers. Guckenheimer follows the guidelines provided by the National Minority Supplier Development Council in developing partnerships with minority, women-owned, and disabled-owned suppliers.
We are acutely aware that diversity and inclusion provide a competitive advantage that drives business results. We proactively seek partnerships with minority, women-owned, and disabled-owned suppliers.
Guckenheimer has had excellent success in sourcing products and services with minority, women-owned, and disabled-owned suppliers. We have been recognized by many of our clients and customers for our success in meeting their company objectives in this area.
The criteria we will utilize to qualify diversity suppliers has been carefully designed.
We evaluate every company on the following requirements:
- Be certified as a minority, woman, or disabled-owned business as defined below:
- Woman

- Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, or Transgender American
