Supplier Development

Every day, FirstEnergy purchases goods and services from hundreds of different suppliers. Our proactive strategy ensures we have a broad, representative supplier base and creates procurement and developmental opportunities for qualified diverse-owned businesses. By fostering strong business relationships, we promote economic development and sustainability for all parties involved.

Our diverse and local partnerships make a direct economic impact on the communities where our employees and customers live and work. Supporting diversity is essential when sourcing goods and services, selecting suppliers, and managing supplier and contractor relationships. Inclusiveness opens real business opportunities for traditionally underutilized suppliers.

Diversifying our supplier base also helps enhance competition, driving innovation, improving reliability, and reducing costs.

In addition to our commitment to supplier development, FirstEnergy complies with all applicable laws and regulations requiring the inclusion of small and diverse suppliers.
