Supplier Diversity

Mission: Corn Products International, Inc. seeks to do business with minority and women-owned businesses (M/WBEs), where appropriate, to accomplish two primary objectives: one, to broaden the competitive marketplace from which we purchase products and services, and two, to conduct our business as a good corporate citizen in the communities in which we operate.

The focus of Corn Products International's Supplier Diversity Statement is to provide supply and service opportunities to qualified, certified M/WBEs in connection with the provision of materials, supplies, construction, transportation and professional/consultant services utilized by the company. This Statement is designed to reflect our Company Values of Excellence, Integrity, Respect and Financial Success.

The requirements for M/WBEs are the same as for all Corn Products International's suppliers, i.e., to provide the highest quality products and services at the best value.

Our large suppliers and contractors will be advised of Corn Products International's commitment and will be encouraged to utilize M/WBEs where appropriate.

For purposes of this program, a qualified M/WBEs is defined as:

  • A for-profit enterprise at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by a United States citizen or legal resident alien who is a member of a minority group (e.g., Asian-Pacific Islander, African-American, Hispanic and Native American.
  • A for-profit enterprise at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by a woman (or women) who is a U.S. citizen or legal resident alien.
