We are ESDP

We connect minority-owned businesses with global corporations. For inclusive supply chains that drive growth across Europe.

Empowering diversity in business, one connection at a time.
For a better future for all.

At the European Supplier Diversity Program (ESDP), we are breaking down the barriers that prevent minority-owned businesses from securing contracts with global corporations.
We bring together European minority-owned businesses with industry leaders who are committed to inclusive procurement and supplier diversity. And through development programs, knowledge-sharing, and networking, we are fostering more global business opportunities and diversity across supply chains in Europe.

Our Mission

We strive to empower minority-owned suppliers across the EU by facilitating direct access to global corporations and community building to close the socio-economic gap through responsible and inclusive procurement practices.

Our Vision

To be Europe's leading supplier diversity advocacy network for minority-owned suppliers, pioneering responsible procurement in the region, creating resilient business opportunities, and accelerating economic growth.
