PANEL OVERVIEW
Rainbow PUSH has always had procurement as an area of particular focus, as it is a steadfast method of bringing economic parity to communities of color. For that reason, it is one of the main components of Rainbow PUSH’s annual Automotive Diversity Survey, in which OEMs are queried, in part, about their engagement with a diversified supplier base. Such intel informs the basis of this Tier 1 panel, which will delve into the ways that suppliers are keeping diversity in the forefront while preparing for the shift to electric vehicles. It will also examine how that shift offers opportunities for forward-thinking entrepreneurs of color.
