Dominion is committed to increase spending with minority-owned, women-owned, disabled-veterans-owned, and HUBzone businesses in the communities where we provide service because:

It's just good business:

• We expand our competitive and qualified supplier base for goods and services.
• The increased supplier base leads to improved supplier performance, competitive pricing and increased innovation and creativity.

It's the right thing to do:

• We support continued economic growth in the communities where we provide service.
• We create customer loyalty through investment in our communities.
• We reinforce with our shareholders, customers and employees the company's commitment to value different ethnic and gender backgrounds.

Dominion values working with a broad range of suppliers and establishes annual corporate goals for expenditures with minority-owned, women-owned, and HUBzone businesses.

Our Supplier Diversity Team working with the Supply Chain Organization and the individual Business Units allows Dominion to find and utilize the diverse suppliers defined above who meet our high standards.
