SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
NEW
GRI 102-9, 102-15
We partner with hundreds of suppliers to provide materials and services needed to support our medical real estate operations. These suppliers are most often locally and regionally sourced to be proximate to our
properties which further supports community employment, reduces vehicle miles traveled, and thus further reduces negative environmental impacts.
New Supplier Diversity Program As part of our ongoing supplier diversity efforts, in 2021 we hired a Contract & Supplier Diversity Manager. We now track the number of diverse vendors used by DOC and our spending with these suppliers using 2020 as our baseline. We also began an outreach process designed to invite new and existing diverse vendors to bid on capital projects over $100,000 and are working with our Tier 1 suppliers to track and monitor their sustainability policies. Where possible, we also utilize national contracts to create scale, target potential efficiencies, and provide portfolio-wide reporting for enhanced decision-making. To view our three-year supplier diversity goals, visit page 14.

“ DOC has enormous purchasing power through our national portfolio. As a result, we have an opportunity to lead with our values and partner with diverse businesses through our capital purchasing. By mirroring our country’s growing diversity and through multi-year goals, we can generate economic opportunities to spur positive change in our communities.”
