A Commitment to Supplier Diversity
It has been a key commitment of Edison International's operating company, Southern California Edison,to focus on supplier diversity.
SCE teams with a diverse range of suppliers and business partners and has made this practice a business priority for some 30 years.
SCE's Supplier Diversity Program, created in 1979, is built on the belief that supplier diversity is not only the right thing to do, but is also a sound business strategy because it reflects the demographics of our customer base.
