Supplier Diversity Policy
A Good Business Policy
The value PPL places on diversity in its employees, communities and customers carries over to the people from whom the company purchases goods and services.
PPL's Supplier Diversity Program is a committment to purchase goods and services at competitive prices, while enhancing the opportunities for success for business owners of diverse backgrounds.
Who Qualifies for the Supplier Diversity Program
A minority-owned business must be at least 51 percent owned, operated, and controlled by an African-American, Hispanic-American, Native American, Asian-Pacific American or Asian-Indian American.
A woman-owned business must be at least 51 percent owned, operated, and controlled by one or more women who are U.S citizens.
A disable-owned business includes those businesses whose owners are disabled under the definitions of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. This includes non-profit agencies or programs that promote the interests of the disabled or agencies that have a work force of 51 percent or more disabled workers.
A small business is a firm, including its affiliates, that is independently owned and operated, and that qualifies as a small business under the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) definitions.
Making the Supplier Diversity Program work
PPL is undertaking a review of its entire supplier database in an effort to obtain updated supplier information, purge duplicate or incorrect listings, and verify minority certifications. We therefore request your help as follows:
-
Please save, print and complete the Supplier Information Form [MS Word 2003 Format | PDF Format] (Acrobat Reader required), including NAICS Code designation.
-
If you classify your firm as a small, women-owned, or minority business, a copy of your certification is required.
Please return the Supplier Information Form along with a copy of your certification to: Gloria E. Collins, Supplier Diversity Administrator, PPL, GENTW12, Two North Ninth Street, Allentown, PA 18101.
