We believe our supplier base should reflect the people and communities we serve.

That&rsquo;s why we launched our Supplier Diversity program in October 2016 to help diverse suppliers do business with Facebook and with the people and communities that Facebook connects.

Our vision is to transform the way diverse suppliers connect to customers, each other, and the tools and resources to grow.

We launched our global supplier diversity efforts in January 2020 to increase opportunities for diverse suppliers located outside of the US in Asia Pacific (APAC), Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Latin America (LATAM) regions.
