“We couldn’t be prouder to join the exemplary league of supplier diversity programs recognized by DiversityComm,” said Natily Santos, Vice President of Responsible Sourcing at Aramark. “We work with thousands of small and diverse suppliers every day, to supply goods and services. These relationships drive economic empowerment, foster inclusivity, and ensure our supplier base is innovative and competitive. Our supplier diversity program has been instrumental in supporting our clients and driving overall satisfaction and growth.”
