Intro 

The 2022 State of Supplier Diversity Report was recently released and provided eye-opening insights into how supplier diversity has changed in 2022.  

This is the third post in a series looking at the key findings of the 2022 State of Supplier Diversity Report. If you are just joining us, here is what we have already covered:

In a recent post, I shared the first key finding of the 2022 State of Supplier Diversity Report: that company culture and workforce inclusiveness have become strong drivers for committed investment in supplier diversity. This is a major milestone for progress in the supplier diversity movement and one that deserves recognition and celebration. But it wasn’t the only interesting conclusion we were able to draw from this year’s survey results. 

The annual release of the State of Supplier Diversity Report offers endless opportunities for analysis and interpretation. With so much new data to compare to years’ worth of surveys, the only limits are time and imagination. When all the independent data points from the survey are brought together, compared to prior years, and considered carefully, a story begins to emerge.
