For entegra, sustainability and corporate responsibility are linked, and our response is never an afterthought. When it comes to sustainable practices, each aspect of our operations allows our partners to reap the benefits of controlled costs and long-term sustainability. Entegra supply management will work to provide information on how our partnership and your purchasing practices contribute to your sustainability vision and business integrity. Some of the programs that entegra believes aligns with our clients.
• Supplier Resources: Entegra supports the education of diverse vendors through our second-tier program and support of our organization partners.

• Local Sourcing: Entegra supply management regional distributors are required by contract to carry local produce. Clients can contact their account manager to find out what we are already doing to support local purchases.
• Animal Welfare: As part of our longstanding pledge to improve animal welfare in the countries where we operate, entegra announced in December 2016 a set of new and broad commitments to improve the humane treatment of animals in our U.S. supply chain, a move that was lauded by the Humane Society of the United States.
• Small- and Medium-sized Enterprise: Entegra is committed to promoting local development, as well as fair, inclusive and sustainable business practices.
• Supplier Diversity and Community Partnerships: We believe that diversity in our supply chain as well as in our workforce gives us access to the best people and products for our organization and our clients. Our supplier diversity program, which has been in effect since 2000 but expanded globally in 2014, is part of Better Tomorrow 2025 – our global commitment to support the local community. The program includes the identification, development and growth of diverse and small businesses within minority-, women-, disabled-, service disabled-, veteran- and LGBT-owned businesses.
