Marriott Suppliers Deliver Worldwide

Marriott's commitment to global diversity encompasses every business unit worldwide and our supplier diversity initiatives are an integral part of how we do business every day. At Marriott, working with locally-owned businesses in the communities in which we operate is a business imperative. It's a win for the community and a win for business—yours and ours.
 
Our relationships with thousands of minority-, woman-, service veteran-, disabled-, and LGBT-owned businesses around the globe continue to grow and strengthen. Last year alone, we spent nearly $480 million with diverse suppliers and we are always raising the bar to ensure continuous growth and improvement.
 
Whether it's in our hotels or through our second-tier vendor program, we want to find the best way to work together. We know how hard it can be for a small business with a good idea to find the right door to knock on. Marriott's Supplier Diversity Program was created to make it easier for us to find one another.
