Get Started with PNC Supplier Diversity

If your business is based in the United States of America and is at least 51 percent owned, operated and controlled by individuals in the following categories, your company is eligible to participate in PNC’s Supplier Diversity Program.

• Racial/ethnic minorities (African Americans, Asian-Indian Americans, Asian-Pacific Americans, Alaska Natives, Hispanics, and Native Americans)

Although not required, we strongly encourage diverse suppliers to obtain appropriate diversity certification. If you have any specific question about diversity certification, please submit our Supplier Contact Form for clarification and direction.

Here are a few certifying organizations and resources for diverse suppliers.  More information is available on their websites about their certification process and requirements.

• National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC): www.nmsdc.org
• Women’s Business Enterprises National Council (WBENC): www.wbenc.org

The certification process typically involves completing an application, providing written documentation, and the certifying organization may conduct a site visit to your business location. If all requirements are met, your company will be certified.
