than simply numbers, including giving suppliers the tools they need to
develop and grow to take on larger contracts with SCE and providing
jobs to Californians.

...diverse suppliers with far-reaching impacts
SCE is proud of its progress in supplier diversity and the accomplishments
achieved over the years. But the real story of a strong supplier diversity
program goes beyond the number of diverse suppliers the company does
business with or the amount spent with them.
