Supplier Diversity
John Deere recognizes that a sustainable business relies on strong, competent suppliers and a supply base that mirrors the diversity of its customers worldwide. In that regard, John Deere maintains programs to find, qualify, and help develop capable small and diverse suppliers.
Since 1980, John Deere's supplier diversity program has been an integral part of our business. The company seeks out capable suppliers through a supplier diversity Web site, supplier fairs and other research by corporate and factory-based supplier diversity coordinators. Through its supplier development function, the company's engineers routinely work with suppliers to help them improve manufacturing processes to reduce waste and costs.
