2008 Supplier Diversity Symposium

At our company, supplier diversity is a way of doing business that adds value to our company and helps us achieve long-term growth.

We recognize that how we operate our business has a significant impact on the economic vitality of the communities we are privileged to serve.

Alliant Energy supports the growth and development of minority- and women-owned businesses. We are equally committed to helping them sustain and grow their business through mentoring and supplier development activities.

Our commitment to Supplier Diversity is founded on these benefits:

• It makes good business sense to explore numerous sources of supply when making a purchasing decision for the company. By encouraging diverse suppliers to compete for our business, we benefit from the creativity and new perspectives they have to offer.
• Working with diverse suppliers is an investment in our local communities.
• Promoting opportunities for diverse businesses ensures that they have fair opportunities in the marketplace.

Alliant Energy’s Supplier Diversity initiatives are overseen by our Supplier Diversity Council.

We have a responsibility to implement procurement processes and procedures that will enhance opportunities with minority- and women-owned businesses. All Alliant Energy employees – from the executive team to the crews keeping the lights on – share in this corporate-wide commitment.
