Supply chain responsibility
PG&E is committed to supply chain responsibility which includes supplier diversity, sustainability, and ethical supply chain practices.
The Supplier Diversity Program, launched in 1981, aims to provide diverse suppliers with economic opportunities to supply products and services to PG&E. The Supplier Sustainability Program, launched in 2007, encourages supplier responsibility, excellence and innovation.
Promoting an ethical supply chain means that health and safety, labor issues, human rights, ethical business conduct and conflicts of interest are important considerations in supplier selection.
PG&E will determine how an offer will assist PG&E in reaching its enterprise-wide supply chain responsibility goals.
It is the policy of PG&E that Diverse Business Enterprises (“DBE”) such as Women-, Minority- and Service Disabled Veteran-owned Business Enterprises (“WMDVBE”) and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender-owned Business Enterprises (“LGBT”) shall have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in the performance of Agreements resulting from this Solicitation.
PG&E encourages Participants to carry out PG&E's policy and contribute to PG&E's supplier diversity goal.
If Participant is selected and an Agreement is negotiated, the Agreement will include a requirement to make good faith efforts toward meeting the contracted supplier diversity target, and successful bidder(s) will be expected to report payments made to DBEs to support the project upon request but no less than annually.
