We’ve set one of the most aggressive supplier diversity goals — to reach 21.5% of our total spend with certified diverse businesses by 2012. In 2011, we spent $12 billion with diverse suppliers, surpassing our corporate goal one year ahead of schedule.

We continue to look for diverse suppliers in key strategic areas like mobile Internet, wireless, U-verse, and cloud services. Today more than ever, we’re accelerating the pace of innovation — which means working with diverse, innovative suppliers who can take us to the next level.

Our commitment to Supplier Diversity is real.
