A Word from Our President
Donald E. Brandt, President of Arizona Public Service APS understands and embraces the importance of diversity and promotes inclusive business practices. Through our Supplier Diversity Program, we reach out to diverse communities of suppliers and seek competitive businesses who can partner with us. As a major purchaser of goods and services, APS has an opportunity to help diverse businesses grow and to strengthening the foundations of local economies. How we operate our business has an impact on the economic development of communities. This impact extends to companies from whom we purchase the goods and services that are essential to our operations. Growth of local economies contributes to job development, neighborhood stabilization, and regional economic growth. A diverse supplier base not only provides economic vitality to the communities in which we live and serve, but also adds value to our company and helps us enhance our role as a community leader. APS values the uniqueness and innovative perspectives these diverse individuals provide. Our ultimate goal is an inclusive procurement process that values and engages qualified and certified Minority, Women, Veteran, Service-Disabled Veterans and HUBZone Enterprises and provides the maximum opportunity to compete. We are committed to developing strategic partnerships with our best suppliers to create extraordinary value for our customers. Back to Commitment Overview
