than 20% of their annual revenue. If the unforeseen occurs (like a pandemic) and you need to cancel the contract, this will minimize the impact on each supplier.</li> <li><strong>Ask for references from recent customers.</strong> Frame your evaluation based on their past five years of business.</li> <li><strong>Match your geographic footprints.</strong> While a Diverse Supplier’s reach and experience may not be as broad as yours, especially if you’re a global entity, it should be comparable.</li> <li><strong>Do they walk the talk?</strong> Ask prospective suppliers about their own Supplier Diversity programs, and request examples of their DEI initiatives.
