Suppliers

OUR SUPPLIER Commitment

We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with a diverse range of suppliers, combining a vast network of products and the deepest industry expertise to solve our customers’ toughest problems. We are committed to making every supplier experience exceptional.

TEAMING UP WITH TOP SUPPLIERS

By working together with top suppliers across multiple market sectors, HD Supply’s businesses are able to leverage our centralized sourcing structure, industry expertise and proven best practices to provide our professional customers with an unparalleled relationship and an exceptional customer experience.

Our sourcing model combines centralized purchasing and the selection of preferred suppliers with buying activity administered by each individual business at the local level. Our businesses independently plan and manage their purchasing strategies to meet the needs of their unique markets and customers.

By teaming with HD Supply, our suppliers gain access to the combined strength of our broad range of products and services, a long-standing distribution partner with a track record of success and the strategic advantage of working closely with our multiple, industry-leading business units.

Supplier Diversity

Our team at HD Supply values our partnerships with diverse businesses and greatly appreciates their ability to offer quality products, services and innovation to our customers. To further foster and build even stronger relationships with certified Minority-Owned, Women-Owned and other historically disadvantaged and small businesses across the country, we specifically developed our Supplier Diversity Program

If you have a diverse business certification or small business classification from a recognized certifying agency, we strongly encourage you to make your status known to your HD Supply purchasing contact. If you do not currently have a business relationship with HD Supply but wish to become one of our supplier partners, please visit our Online Supplier Portal, where you can share your business, contact, and diversity information with us through the online form.

OUR COMMITMENT TO INTEGRITY

HD Supply manages our enterprise with the highest integrity, and our customers trust us to serve them with honor and professionalism. One of the many ways we champion this responsibility is by partnering with suppliers who share our company values and long-standing commitment to upholding ethical principles. We also make our Ethics Guide for Suppliers, Contractors, and Consultants available to our partners to clearly communicate our expectations of integrity.

To ensure that our suppliers are upholding our shared commitment to integrity, HD Supply contracts with global testing and inspection companies to provide social and environmental screening methods, and complete access to a supplier’s facilities must be granted upon our request. Depending on the level of risk associated with a particular country or geographic region, our suppliers must meet our screening requirements for fraud, employment, and pay practices (such as age requirements, no forced labor, non-discrimination, freedom of expression and association, wages, and work hours), emergency planning, and environmental health and safety.

Our core purpose as a company is to improve our people’s lives, and we believe that same commitment to integrity should extend to our partners as well.
