The Supplier Diversity Development Council (SDDC) is dedicated to forging effective working relationships amongst minority, women and service disabled veteran owned businesses (M/W/SDVBEs) and New Jersey public utilities and the Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) on matters relating to methods of reporting, measuring, and assessing the development of these relationships. The SDDC serves as a resource to identify “best practices” and to promote related support activities and seminars for both companies and M/W/SDVBEs. In order to enhance the advancement of mutual goals, the SDDC promotes the adoption of “best practices” and processes that provide equal access for M/W/SDVBEs to companies. The SDDC’s commitment to its mission will enhance supplier diversity amongst New Jersey companies, resulting in the development of a strong economy and a productive environment for the growth of business throughout the state.
