Supplier Inclusion
Developing viable long term-business partnerships while continuing to increase the economic impact within the communities where we do business.
Inclusive procurement practices provide opportunities to a broad range of businesses that in turn increase engagement, create job opportunities and provide economic advancement in the communities we serve.
Supplier Inclusion at Southern Company Gas has grown since its inception in 2005 from a program focused on economic empowerment and compliance to becoming an organizational value that supports our strategic corporate objectives.
We are committed to supporting small and local businesses because it acts as a stimulant for job creation and economic development, which in turn creates opportunities to grow our business within our local economies.
