Our policy statement
FirstEnergy is committed to supplier diversity as one of the key core values that are fundamental to achieving our vision of providing superior value to our customers and investors.

Supporting diversity is essential when locating sources of materials and services, selecting suppliers, and managing supplier and contractor relationships.

Diversifying our vendor base also helps enhance competition among suppliers, resulting in increasingly innovative products and services, improved reliability, and lower costs.
