“As an officially certified Woman-owned and LGBT Business Enterprise, we look forward to PSEG’s event to make new connections and strengthen our business,” says Jill Draper, president of Marketsmith. “This opens new doors for us as a diverse organization, and we appreciate companies like PSE&G that strive to break down barriers and stereotypes in their contracting processes. “
Derek DiRisio, president, PSEG Services Corporation explains, “Our spending with diverse suppliers in 2016 was almost $200 million more than we spent just two years earlier. Our partnerships with diverse suppliers are critical to our company’s competitiveness, our quality and, ultimately, our success. Supplier diversity has been a part of the PSEG culture for more than 25 years, and we’re proud that we’ve been able to do more with this business community than ever before – and that is reflected in our numbers.”
