Supplier Diversity

At Manulife, we strongly believe in the power of diversity – and this belief permeates well beyond our four walls and into our strong community of diverse suppliers. We know that by fostering an environment where minority-owned suppliers feel accepted, valued, and included, we will be building a better business to better the world.

We place importance on maintaining a diverse supplier base that provides a broad range of perspectives, skills, and experiences, in addition to quality and cost effectiveness.

To be eligible for our Supplier Diversity Program, a supplier must be at least 51% owned and operated by an individual or group belonging to an underrepresented community.

We recognize Diverse Suppliers from all underrepresented groups, such as:

2SLGBTQ+
Hispanic/Latin
Asian

Black
Brown
Indigenous Peoples

Persons with disabilities
Women-owned
Veteran

Our community and industry advocacy efforts around Supplier Diversity continue to be recognized:
