Lehman Brothers seeks to build relationships with a diverse group of business partners. Through its Supplier Diversity Initiative, the Firm actively works to ensure that the most qualified women- and minority-owned businesses are included in our supplier selection process.

Since the introduction of our Supplier Diversity Initiative, Lehman Brothers has:

•	More than doubled its annual direct expenditures with women- and minority-owned suppliers.
•	Invited over 100 women- and minority-owned suppliers to bid on procurement opportunities.
•	Awarded more than $150 million in contracts to women- and minority-owned companies.
•	Received recognition by the New York & New Jersey Minority Supplier Development Council, Inc. and the Women Presidents' Education Organization for creating access to business opportunities for their constituents.

Lehman Brothers is also actively involved with leading supplier diversity organizations in the U.S. including the National Minority Supplier Development Council, Inc., the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council, and the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. In addition, the Firm is a founding board member of Minority Supplier Development United Kingdom.

If you represent a business that shares our commitment to diversity and inclusion, and may add value to our supply chain, we would like to consider partnering with you.
