Amegy Bank recognizes that banking is a local business, and to be successful, we must be representative of the clients and communities we serve. Through our Supplier Diversity Program, we are committed to identifying and utilizing diverse third parties that may be able to offer products and services needed by the bank. With this program, we believe we can create an environment that levels the playing field so all businesses can successfully compete for Amegy Bank procurement opportunities.
We encourage our suppliers to operate in ways that promote beneficial social and environmental outcomes. For our part, we pledge to treat our suppliers with respect, and support development opportunities for the long term.
Supporting diversity is essential when locating sources of materials and services, selecting suppliers, and managing supplier and contractor relationships. Inclusiveness provides real business opportunities to traditionally underused suppliers. Diversifying our vendor base helps enhance competition among suppliers, resulting in increasingly innovative products and services, improved reliability, and lower costs.
