Supplier Engagement
ADM seeks to identify and tap into the potential of strong, viable suppliers around the globe.
Opportunities for Small Businesses
Alongside our partnerships with major suppliers, ADM is committed to engaging with small businesses that share our mission to unlock nature to enrich life. These partnerships not only strengthen our global supply chain but also help us support and uplift communities where we operate. Our program includes several key initiatives designed to foster meaningful collaboration and mutual growth. Some elements of our program include:
- Outreach to small businesses to engage in upcoming sourcing events (including veteran-owned, minority-owned, women-owned and more!)
- Participation in supplier engagement events and organizations
- Tracking and analysis of supplier performance
