>"It's important to have diverse suppliers," says Theo Fletcher, vice president of security, compliance and diversity of IBM's Integrated Supply Chain Group.

>Fletcher says that one challenge is finding diverse suppliers in certain commodities. For instance, there are a number of minority-owned businesses for commodities such as plastics or electronics. However, it is more challenging to find gay and lesbian suppliers of such parts. However, for technical and staffing services it is easier to find gay and lesbian suppliers.
