Our commitment to Supplier Diversity
At Manulife, we strongly believe in the power of diversity – and this belief permeates well beyond our four walls and into our strong community of diverse suppliers. We know that by fostering an environment where minority-owned suppliers feel accepted, valued, and included, we will be building a better business to better the world.
We place importance on maintaining a diverse supplier base that provides a broad range of perspectives, skills, and experiences, in addition to quality and cost effectiveness.
To be eligible for our Supplier Diversity Program, a supplier must be at least 51% owned and operated by an individual or group belonging to an underrepresented community.
We recognize Diverse Suppliers from all underrepresented groups, such as:
- 2SLGBTQ+
- Hispanic/Latin
- Asian
- Black
- Brown
- Indigenous Peoples
- Persons with disabilities
- Women-owned
- Veteran
Our community and industry advocacy efforts around Supplier Diversity continue to be recognized:

Register your business with us
We welcome diverse suppliers pursuing opportunities at Manulife by completing our Diversity Supplier Registration Form. Registration does not guarantee winning a Manulife bid and does not qualify the registrant as a preferred Manulife supplier.
Registrants must be certified through an accredited third-party Supplier Diversity council.
One of the ways our team identifies potential suppliers is by leveraging supplier databases, including Supplier.io. Registration with Supplier.io is free and allows companies like ours to easily search, access, and do business with registered diverse suppliers. To learn more, click here.
