The Cornell University Division of Financial Affairs Procurement and Payment Services aims to ensure the University’s procurement dollars support diverse and sustainable businesses. Through its Supplier Diversity program, the Division works to maximize procurement opportunities for small, local, and diverse businesses—efforts that have helped increase its total “diversity spend” from $27.2 million in FY 2012 to $36.8 million in FY 2017. The Division also supports the University’s Sustainable Campus Initiative by incorporating principles of green purchasing into many contracts and procedures, and requesting that suppliers rely on sustainable practices.
