Policy and Commitment
It is the Policy of EFH to procure goods and services from qualified suppliers and contractors. This Policy ensures that businesses owned by women and minorities, as well as small businesses, have equal opportunities to participate in our Procurement process. In supporting the development of such firms, EFH will actively seek qualified minority-and women-owned business concerns with which to do business and will endeavor to assist these business concerns with their development. In furtherance of this policy, EFH will participate in activities, organizations and programs which promote such enterprises. In addition, the Company will provide maximum practicable opportunity to companies with federal designation of small business, small disadvantaged business, small women-owned businesses, small businesses located in HUBZones, and small businesses owned by Service Disabled Veterans.
Administration and implementation of this Policy is the responsibility of all organizations and business units throughout EFH, with support of EFH’s Strategic Sourcing organization.
