Supplier Diversity Program

Encouraging the use of Minority, Women, and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises

Our Supplier Diversity Policy

It is the policy of Mercury Insurance Services, LLC, on behalf of each admitted insurer within the Mercury family of companies, to encourage the use of Minority, Women, and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (MWDVBE) through our Supplier Diversity Program. We believe that the utilization of a diversified supplier base is beneficial both to the communities we serve and our company’s growth. We are committed to maximizing the use of MWDVBE enterprises’ whenever possible.

Our primary objectives include:

  • Actively seeking businesses who are classified or certified as MWDVBE
  • Encouraging our Corporate Procurement employees to seek out MWDVBE certified businesses and include those businesses in our procurement efforts
  • Conducting outreach and communication to MWDVBE certified businesses
  • Supporting organizations that promote or certify MWDVBE businesses
