Vocus announced it has signed up as a member of Supply Nation, Australia’s leader in supplier diversity.

As a member, Vocus looks forward to benefitting from Supply Nation’s extensive network and knowledge of certified First Nations businesses.

Vocus Group Head Commercial and Business Optimization, Steffen Schwarz said building a sustainable and socially responsible supply chain is part of Vocus’ commitment to ensuring it has a positive social impact, from its community approach to efforts to reduce its environmental footprint.

“As Australia’s specialist fibre and network solutions provider, we are a proud Australian company and we feel a responsibility to expand our supplier diversity, especially to First Nations businesses,” Mr Schwarz said.

“Supply Nation maintains the biggest national database of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses, which will help us accelerate the process of offering under-represented businesses the same opportunities as any other qualified supplier to win business with Vocus.”
