The MWBE program enhances value received from the supply base by identifying, developing, and referring qualified minority- and women-owned businesses that are capable of meeting The Walt Disney Company's business objectives.

Our team of dedicated supplier diversity professionals engages in several activities to ensure that the diversity we find in our communities is reflected in our supply base:

• Outreach—actively seeks diverse Suppliers through participation in national, regional, and local minority- and women-owned business development organizations, advocacy groups, and trade shows.
• Due Diligence—validates MWBE status through certification compliance, site visits, management interviews, and/or third-party research.
• Qualification—determines relevant MWBE business criteria such as competencies, geographical scope, capacity, etc.
• Utilization—assists Disney professionals in identifying minority- and woman-owned businesses capable of meeting their procurement objectives.
• Development—acts as liaison between internal stakeholders and diverse Suppliers to promote goodwill and ensure that each party has their respective needs met.

At The Walt Disney Company, we have developed a program that goes beyond solely creating access for minority- and women-owned businesses by fostering a Companywide atmosphere of support and appreciation for the value that diversity brings to our Company's supply base.
