Supplier Diversity at the St. Louis Fed

St. Louis Fed employees work to promote supplier diversity.

The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis makes every effort in its policies, procedures and actions to encourage competition and provide fair and equal treatment for all organizations. The Supplier Diversity and District Procurement teams remain committed to growing the Bank’s diverse supplier base through outreach and engagement that will build stronger business relationships with our community.

The St. Louis Fed’s Supplier Diversity initiative supports the Bank's strategic plan in two ways:

  1. Supporting the Bank’s external communications and outreach goal by promoting awareness and understanding of the Bank’s services and corporate citizenship.
  2. Reinforcing the Bank's preferred employer goal by continuing execution of a comprehensive diversity and inclusion strategy, including operating an Office of Minority and Women Inclusion.
