The Diversity Advantage

In today’s global marketplace, diversity isn’t just a feel-good goal. It’s a key competitive advantage. D.W. Morgan Company, a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), has used its transportation and logistics expertise, along with its commitment to diversity empowerment on a worldwide basis, to help clients dramatically reduce supply chain costs and help them see and manage their global inventories.

In 2006, the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) elevated D.W. Morgan Company to elite status as a National Corporate Plus® member. This new designation identifies Morgan as a proven supply-chain and transportation management partner, certified for complex, global assignments with the world’s top corporations.

NMSDC President Harriet Michel says that many corporations are consolidating their supplier base in an effort to control total supplier quality management and costs, while at the same time increasing partnerships with proven, minority-owned businesses.

According to Joan Kerr, Executive Director of Supplier Diversity for AT&T, minority suppliers deliver … better solutions. With higher quality, lower costs and more efficient operations, these benefits come into AT&T from minority suppliers that are subsequently passed on to AT&T’s customers. Kerr says her company also gains a competitive advantage and gives AT&T an edge with regulators, state and federal governments that sometimes require other corporations to increase their purchasing from minority firms.
