COMMITED TO DIVERSITY
We are a company committed to actively seeking goods and services from minority, women, physically challenged and small businesses. We strive to enhance our supplier base to reflect the markets we service.
Gicon seeks the best quality, value and service, at the best cost—from all of our suppliers. It is our desire to select the vendor who delivers the best overall value; value that consists of competitive pricing, technological foresight, information management, and continuous and proactive support of products and services.
OUR EXPECTATIONS
Vendors who do business with Gicon Pumps and Equipment are expected to demonstrate their commitment to diversity through a plan or program established within their own business operations that quantitatively measures their purchases of goods and services from minority, women-owned, physically challenged and small businesses. We acknowledge and offer opportunities to those majority suppliers who assist Gicon Pumps and Equipment Inc.’s diversity policy by utilizing second-tier suppliers. We request that our majority vendors actively participate in our Supplier Diversity initiative by seeking tier two relationships, committing a percentage of expenditures to, minority, women, physically challenged and small businesses. This participation demonstrates added value on the part of our majority vendors.
