We will create the necessary solutions to meet these needs.
Our strategic supplier goals include: establishing Owens Corning as a company that values supplier diversity along with our customers and the communities we serve; and, sustaining supplier diversity as a valued, credible, measurable and necessary program within Owens Corning. By developing a diverse supply base that encourages diversity in the workplace, we can help build wealth for potential minority homeowners.
