UNIONDALE, N.Y.-PSEG Long Island recently hosted its inaugural Supplier Diversity Procurement Fair to help connect Long Island’s diverse business community with PSEG Long Island, business advocacy organizations and corporate partners.
“PSEG Long Island collaborates regularly with new diverse suppliers that are best suited to help us achieve our company objectives and strong commitments to our customers, our communities and the State,” said David Daly, PSEG Long Island president and COO. “The diversity fair was created to expand and advance our current pool of diverse suppliers through education and mentoring.”
The event provided a unique opportunity for representatives from New York state minority and women’s business enterprises (MWBE) opportunities to learn more about doing business with PSEG Long Island, to better understand the objectives of New York State’s supplier diversity development efforts by meeting one-on-one with state representatives, and to meet other suppliers currently working with PSEG Long Island.
“As we increase our investments making our infrastructure more reliable and resilient, we are also creating jobs and business opportunities for a diverse group of suppliers. Building a supplier list that represents our diverse customer base helps us accomplish more as partners than we could on our own,” Daly said.
PSEG Long Island’s supplier diversity program achieved record results in 2015, with more than $31.5 million of business directed at minority and women’s companies.
