Why Supplier Diversity Matters

This month TJS are proud to announce their partnership with the leading Indigenous industry body, Supply Nation.

Established in 2009, Supply Nation is the Australian leader in Indigenous supplier diversity, connecting both Corporate and Government members with Indigenous businesses across the country.

The move comes as we continue to address supplier diversity as a business priority in collaboration with our indigenous sister company, Yaanma Services.

Yaanma’s vision is to nurture and grow Indigenous Australian leaders in the Facility Services industry. As a cleaning and maintenance service provider, Yaanma share TJS’s vision of guiding Indigenous Australians’ to their full potential by providing pathways to sustainable employment.

Now part of the Supply Nation community, our organisation joins Yaanma in sharing best practice to achieve our common goal of sustainable supplier diversity.

Together Yaanma and TJS are committed to helping Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders secure equal opportunity.

TJS Chief Executive Officer, Ben Bayot outlines why the impacts of supplier diversity are far reaching and can have significant positive impact on the social and economic development of our nation.

“We have the opportunity as a business to make a positive and long lasting social impact. Our commitment to supplier diversity is a testament to our commitment to the development of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities; our goal is to go beyond immediate employment, instead creating lasting pathways for growth and development. We share this goal with all our staff across the business as well as with our Indigenous Sister Company, Yaanma Services”

Today, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders are on the path of leading supplier diversity and positive social change. Through membership of Supply Nation, TJS is one of the many organisations joining the movement towards a future of equal opportunity.

“We are delighted to welcome TJS Services into the Supply Nation program and look forward to working with them to develop their supplier diversity footprint and the measure of our collective success will be in the value of transactions between our members and suppliers.” 

- Supply Nation Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Laura Berry

TJS’s participation and partnership with Supply Nation will play an important role in identifying and addressing opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, through collaborative development of these opportunities in the Indigenous Business Sector, will see significant growth.

The choices we make as businesses and individuals can contribute to the social and economic development of our community, which is why it is so important to consider supplier diversity.
