Vision ABC’s vision is to build a vendor base of world class suppliers. These world class suppliers will enable ABC to purchase the goods and services required to maintain a competitive advantage and to add value for the shareholders of the Walt Disney Company. The mission of ABC’s Minority and Woman Business Development Program is to ensure that we continue to creatively seek new sources for our business opportunities and that minority and women owned firms are given the opportunity to compete for this business.

Our suppliers number in the thousands from small independent contractors to giant conglomerates. Your Performance Understand that our strategic sourcing and purchasing departments utilize a competitive process, designed to obtain the optimum in quality, service and value. Thus, contact with our company does not always result in a contract. What is important to us:
We abide by the National Association of Purchasing Manager’s Code of Ethics. The Minority Business Enterprise Program Policy Competition is one of the cornerstones of the American free enterprise system. Effective business development by minorities and women increases competition, provides employment opportunities and increases the tax base. Purchase of goods and services from minority and women entrepreneurs therefore is not only good corporate citizenship, but also sound business. ABC is committed to developing and maintaining a vibrant Minority/Women Business Enterprises Program. Enlightened management knows that success for minority and women business entrepreneurs is critical to our nation’s economic vitality. Minority and women business development increases competition, provides employment opportunities and increases the tax base. Our Minority/Women Business Enterprises Program is an important part of our total operation. Qualifying as a M/WBE A qualified minority business enterprise is a business that is at least 51% owned, controlled and managed by one or more minority persons or women. For the purpose of this program, a minority person is an individual that is of African American, Hispanic American, Asian Pacific American, Subcontinent Asian or Native American heritage. We also provide women the opportunity to participate in our program. Registration We strongly encourage all potential suppliers to complete our Supplier Registration Form.
