Supplier Diversity at Harley-Davidson

Increasing our business with minority- and women-owned companies means: Allocating resources to support procurement decisions. Training our employees to actively cultivate productive relationships with diverse businesses. Partnering with diverse organizations to get the message out. It means creating supplier diversity traction so results happen.
