Supplier Diversity

Supplier Diversity is a key focus for Cadence Bank and we are committed to engaging with diverse businesses for the procurement of goods and services. Cadence actively pursues partnerships with diverse companies and strategically identifies opportunities to source diverse suppliers. In addition, Cadence is committed to servicing our surrounding communities through educational and outreach activities.

Cadence Bank Supplier Diversity Program

Supplier diversity is a key aspect of Cadence Bank's commitment to supporting and developing diversity and inclusion. Cadence Bank strategically sources procurement opportunities to help expand innovation, increase economic sustainability in our communities and gain efficiencies in our day-to-day dealings with suppliers.

Our supplier diversity initiatives assist in leveling the wealth gap and creating an environment conducive to providing all suppliers, regardless of size, the ability to access contracting and purchasing opportunities. This encourages the utilization of marginally represented businesses such as women, minority, LGBTQ+ and veteran-owned business enterprises.

Supplier diversity and inclusion helps establish a climate for economic development. It is our responsibility to champion diversity and be a leader in creating a culture of inclusiveness. All businesses deserve an opportunity to participate in the procurement efforts throughout the bank, and those who hold purchasing authority on behalf of Cadence Bank understand the value of creating an environment that levels the playing field. This allows all businesses to successfully compete for Cadence procurement opportunities. Supplier diversity and inclusion is not just something being implemented to meet a contract goal, it’s the right thing to do!!!

We are better because of our differences not despite them, and Cadence is committed as a leader of the supplier diversity initiative and this commitment ensures those differences are celebrated. All businesses within our footprint have an opportunity to grow due to the efforts of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Department.
