Southern Company helps growing businesses
Supplier diversity business development program
The Supplier Diversity Business Development Program helps develop
a diverse supplier base by cultivating and expanding business
relationships with small businesses that are minority, women
or veteran owned.
The mentoring program allows dedicated Southern Company
employees with decision making roles and responsibilities (such as
Business Unit Representatives, Category Managers, Transactions
Managers or Buyers) to mentor small and diverse suppliers. These
suppliers, that are currently doing business with or have high
potential to do business with Southern Company, are provided
resources and relationships that assist with developing or
strengthening core business competencies through business training
and facilitating business unit introductions.
Minority business executive program
We provide sponsorships for qualified, proven suppliers to attend
Dartmouth University’s Tuck School of Business, where they attend
classes that focus on building high-performing businesses.
Second tier program
Southern Company strongly encourages prime suppliers to extend
subcontracting opportunities to minority-owned, women-owned
and veteran-owned firms. This program has added opportunities
for minority businesses in companies we do not own or manage.
Please note:
There are requirements and a selection process for all these
programs. If you’d like to get more information, please send
