COMED
INCREASES
THE SPENDING
IN DIVERSITY
CERTIFIED
COMPANIES
A
big step. 2018 was another
successful year for ComEd's
partnership with diversity
certified suppliers. ComEd spent
$718 million with these suppli-
ers, a year-over-year increase of
$7 million.
This represents an increase
in diversity certified spend from
36% of total supply chain expen-
ditures in 2017 to 39% in 2018,
a year-over-year increase of 3%,
the highest percentage of diverse
spend in ComEd history.
Increasing the total dollars
spent and percentage of diversity
certified supplier inclusion is a
significant achievement consid-
ering total supply chain spend
decreased by approximately $140
million.
This truly represents ComEd's
commitment to grow both the
amount of spend and the percent
of total spend with diverse sup-
pliers. The chart nearby reviews
ComEd's diverse supplier spend
over the past seven years, reflect-
ing an upward trajectory wholly
consistent with ComEd's stated
commitment.
ComEd's 2018 expenditures
represent a growth of $3.8 billion
in annual diversity certified sup-
plier spend during the seven-year
span from 2012-2018. In 2018,
ComEd continued to increase its
spending with minority-, women-,
and veteran-owned businesses,
and achieved a record percent-
age of total dollars expended with
diversity certified suppliers—39%
of its total spend.
