Supplier Diversity As BT seeks out more leading edge, diverse solutions to meet the new markets it is entering, we must look to diversity in suppliers who can contribute towards this objective by generating a diverse range of ideas and solutions. Merit is key Our customers are also interested in how diversity is managed and the diversity BT brings.

Diversity Questions Today we do not know enough about the diversity in our supply base to judge whether we are making best use of the opportunities that diversity can offer. The challenge for this year is to improve our knowledge of our supply base and ensure we continue to capture this information in future. We need your help
