A Message from Robert S Shapard

Re: Supplier Diversity Policy Statement

Oncor has a long and impressive history in the area of Supplier Diversity, realizing that a progressive and successful initiative in this area broadens the economic vitality and prosperity of communities. Affording all citizens an equal opportunity to participate in our procurement and sourcing processes makes good business sense as it enhances our ability to call upon the resources of the entire community.

Economic development, including the development and utilization of diverse businesses, helps to expand market opportunities and growth potential. Additionally, because of the importance of diversity to our customers and potential customers, successful diversity initiatives may serve to improve and increase our competitive advantage.

The strength of our corporate commitment to the growth, development and utilization of diverse businesses is reflected in our corporate Supplier Diversity Policy Statement. I encourage you to share this Statement, as well as the significance of this commitment with all employees.
