 Our Philosophy & Commitment 

Owens & Minor Supplier Diversity Philosophy

We believe a world-class organization builds its strength largely though the successful integration of the diverse cultures, backgrounds and experiences of its teammates, customers and suppliers. Owens & Minor seeks to be that organization.

Business integrity, superior customer service, community involvement and support are key principles in our philosophy of delivering value. Providing the full spectrum of choice in healthcare goods and services supports supply chain savings and business diversity.

Owens & Minor sees its role as link between superior suppliers and healthcare customers who can benefit from their goods and services. Many of these suppliers happen to be small, minority-, woman- and veteran-owned businesses.

Our Commitment to Supplier Diversity

Owens & Minor is committed to sourcing from small, minority-, woman- and veteran-owned businesses. In our work with these businesses, we champion processes that build sound infrastructure and ethical business practices. We believe this promotes long-term sustainable growth and a more reliable supply chain for our customers.

 

"We know from experience that some of the most innovative, dedicated and dependable suppliers fall into the minority and woman-owned category. As a national company, Owens & Minor has the opportunity to reach out across the country to tap this huge resource. It’s good for healthcare and it’s the right thing to do."

G. Gilmer Minor III, Chairman,
Owens & Minor
