Xerox Supplier Connection and Belonging Program

Strengthening the supply chain through social responsibility, quality and ethics.

As a global leader in Managed Print Services and Document Technology, Xerox recognizes that having a varied supplier pool is a major competitive advantage and a powerful business tool. An element of our customer base includes the U.S. Government, and therefore we are required to incorporate and report against established metrics. Through our partnership with the Xerox Alliance Program, our mission is to proactively identify, build relationships with, and purchase goods and services from certified Small and Innovative Businesses, including those owned by women, veterans, LGBTQ+ individuals, individuals with disabilities, HUBZone program participants, 8(a) firms, and other large businesses that help Xerox and our customers achieve corporate business objectives.
