Supplier Diversity is key to our business strategy

Registration in the supplier portal is not a guarantee of any contact, interest, or future business with UPS. Rather, registration in the database increases your visibility to our procurement team and makes it easier to find your services if an opportunity becomes available.

Tier 2 reporting
For UPS customers requesting Tier 2 reports
When you choose UPS for your logistics and transportation needs, know that you’re helping UPS have an even larger impact on small businesses through our supplier diversity work.
In the U.S. and other select countries, UPS can report our supplier diversity spend results to customers each quarter. Because revenue numbers are used to allocate a portion of that spend to each customer, results are available following each quarter’s public earnings call.
Tier 2 spend can be reported via email or entered into your Tier 2 reporting portal.
If you’re a UPS customer, you can speak with your UPS sales person to request that UPS begin reporting Tier 2 supplier diversity spend to your company or email the request to diversity@ups.com.
For UPS suppliers reporting Tier 2 results
UPS requests all suppliers to participate in the UPS Supplier Diversity Tier 2 program. These suppliers are expected to have inclusive supply chain practices of their own. Many are asked to report their results to UPS each quarter.
For businesses that may be new to supplier diversity, we can help you get started. Our experience can give you a leg up as your company grows in the commitment to approach diversity and inclusion holistically. Working together, we can amplify our impact on economic inclusion.
If you’re ready to report your Tier 2 spend to UPS, access our reporting portal at: Submit Tier 2 Spend.
If you’re already reporting Tier 2 spend to UPS and need help with system access or reporting methodologies, contact the supplier diversity data team at diversity@ups.com.
