Become a Veritas Supplier.

Veritas core values are based on five guiding principles and we expect the same of our suppliers.

Our sourcing process and supplier management ensure that the right suppliers are in place to meet the high standards, innovation and value we expect for delivery of all goods and services.  Our suppliers understand our goals, values, and have an agile approach to achieve the best possible outcomes in our fast-paced industry. 

  • Empower employees to succeed and grow.
  • Create unique value for our customers every day.
  • Excel as a team through collaboration and inclusion.
  • Innovate to win by creating the future.
  • Inspire trust with integrity and accountability.

Veritas is strongly committed to social and environmental initiatives and, as such, values our long-standing relationships with diverse and socially responsible suppliers. 

Supplier Diversity Program

Supplier diversity is important to Veritas – we recognize the value and importance of diversity as a distinct business advantage. A diverse supply chain is one of the many ways we offer value to our customers by fostering economic growth in the communities they serve. As such, we have established and continue to increase a diverse network of suppliers to provide the support, services and products our company needs to operate successfully.

We are committed to enhancing our methods of outreach to existing and new diverse suppliers to identify opportunities for their continued growth. We are dedicated to fostering successful partnerships through innovative and cost-effective solutions, both of which contribute to our mutual growth and success and benefit the communities where we operate. Veritas has several important M/WBE relationships and has a Supplier Diversity Program to monitor progress towards our company spending goals.

We participate in various activities of instruction, mentoring and outreach including attending and participating in national and regional conferences, supplier mailings and creating internal awareness. We also actively track the supply base.

Veritas’ environmental goals

Veritas has set a science-based target, approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with levels required to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. Veritas targets were rated as sufficiently ambitious to be consistent with the level of decarbonization required to keep global temperature increase to 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial temperatures. The SBTi defines and promotes best practice in science-based target setting and independently assesses companies’ targets.

Veritas’ reduction targets are as follows:

Veritas commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 25% by FY2025 from a FY2019 base year. Veritas commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from business travel 19% by FY2025 from the FY2019 base year. The company also commits to reduce scope 3 GHG emissions by 17% per appliance sold by FY2025 from the FY2019 base year. 

And finally, Veritas commits that 50% of its suppliers, by spend covering purchased goods and services and capital goods, will have science-based targets by FY2025.

How can our suppliers support this commitment?

Veritas is requiring its suppliers to support this important initiative by committing to setting science-based targets (or equivalent) within the next five years. More information is available here.

Tackling climate change requires ambitious action from the corporate sector. Veritas’ science-based target proves the company’s commitment to building a sustainable economy, by doing not what’s easy, but what’s necessary.
