CNA’s Supplier Diversity Program

CNA’s Supplier Diversity Program includes the following classifications for diverse suppliers:

Minority-Owned Business Enterprise
Women-Owned Business Enterprise
Veteran-Owned Business Enterprise
Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business Enterprise
People With Disability-Owned Business Enterprise
LGBT-Owned Business Enterprise

CNA’s Supplier Diversity Program includes certification by one or more of these organizations:

National Minority Development Council (NMSDC) or regional affiliates
Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) or regional affiliates
National Veteran-Owned Business Association (NaVOBA)
National Gay, Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) or regional affiliates

According to the National Minority Supplier Diversity Council (NMSDC), minority group members are United States citizens who are Asian, Black, Hispanic or Native American. Additionally, ownership by minority individuals means the business is at least 51% owned by such individuals or, in the case of a publicly-owned business, at least 51% of the stock is owned by one or more such individuals (i.e. the management and daily operations are controlled by those minority group members).

Program Administration

The Supplier Diversity program is administered by CNA’s Procurement division and is embedded as part of its Supplier Relationship Management Program. For additional information about CNA’s Supplier Diversity Program, please contact suppliers@cna.com. Prospective suppliers should register their company information via the link below. Doing so does not guarantee the business will receive a contract or request to bid, or confer any preferred supplier status.
