Success in Leveraging Supplier Diversity HPCLC October 12, 2010 Session 5 Supplier Diversity Leveraging supply spend with a limited number of suppliers is good business practice to minimize purchasing and transportation costs. As demand increases, however, manufacturers must consider the impact of risk associated with supply constraints. This session will address the latest thinking in diversification of supply to overcome these risks.

Supplier Diversity – Case Study CASE # 1. Diverse Supplier Provides Managed Service for Temporary Labor Requirements Merck is collaborating with a certified diverse supplier who performs a managed service for sourcing temporary labor requirements through their web-enabled vendor management system. Merck utilizes the expertise of the diverse supplier to drive delivery of quality resources and market pricing while achieving best in class Tier 2 diversity performance. The supplier has demonstrated an eagerness to grow with Merck and has invested in program enhancements to deliver more value. The annual spend volume with this supplier has doubled in three years. Merck manages the relationship with this supplier through its Supplier Value Management program and has identified other potential areas to collaborate for “total work force solutions” with this diverse supplier. Example demonstrates opportunities to collaborate and grow business with existing diverse suppliers.

Supplier Diversity – Case Study CASE # 2. Merck teams with Large Corporation on driving significant diverse supplier opportunities across Integrated Facilities Management portfolio Merck’s sourcing effort for IFM services in North America required the prime suppliers commit to achieving significant share of their spend with diverse suppliers. This requirement was a key decision maker in the selection process. From the outset and still today, Merck collaborates with the IFM supplier in the sourcing across its scope of services specifically targeting diverse supplier solutions - including landscaping, janitorial, mail room services, and other site maintenance activities. This strategy has resulted in the building of strong relationships, cost reduction delivery, and the enhancement of the IFM supplier’s corporate supplier diversity program. Example shows that building aggressive diverse supplier expectations into major sourcing opportunities can prove to be very successful and ultimately provide competitive advantage for all involved.

Supplier Diversity – Case Study CASE # 3. Merck partners with a lead Transportation Management Services provider, driving diverse supplier opportunities in the trucking category. To be distinguished as Merck’s lead supplier of domestic trucking services, this supplier was required to adopt Merck’s supplier diversity program and carry out the policy as a commitment under the Master Services Agreement. This supplier is enrolled in Merck’s Supplier Value Management program as a top tier supplier, due in large part to its proactive stewardship of a program to qualify, subcontract and cultivate diverse carriers in its TMS. This carrier’s diversity program is rigorously tracked via monthly governance meetings. This supplier is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to spend a minimum % annually of the total of that year’s spend for US based (including Puerto Rico) diverse subcontractors. Example shows how aggressive targeting can drive results in a category (logistics) traditionally challenged to contribute to company diversity goals.

Opportunities and Challenges in Logistics Supplier diversity opportunities in the Logistics category are typically limited to carriers under the North American domestic trucking area. Large logistics suppliers with expansive carrier network are well served to invest in a supplier diversity program as a means of landing and growing business with companies such as Merck. Long term Services Agreements must include strong supplier diversity language: Language adopting companies diversity definitions Requirements to develop and maintain rigorous program Required and realistic diversity commitments are ideal
