OVG’s continuous efforts in creating positive disruptions in sports and entertainment is visible in all aspects of our operations. Our goal to be the industry leader in delivering diverse content and shows globally starts at the ground level. Whether we are developing a new arena or renovating an existing one, we are committed to ensuring our suppliers reflect the communities we serve.
Our commitment to diversity and inclusion extends beyond our employment policies to our business practices. Our goal is to build and maintain an inclusive supplier diversity program that provides maximum opportunity for small and diverse businesses to become OVG vendors. By providing local, small and diverse businesses opportunities to work with us, we foster economic inclusivity and ensure a positive impact is made in the communities where we operate. Being proactive and intentional helps us keep up with the ever-changing live entertainment industry, ensuring our supplier diversity program evolves as the industry does.
Who do we Consider to Be a Diverse Supplier?
A diverse supplier is “a company/trader owned and managed at least 51% by BIPOC, women, veterans, LGBTQ+, and disabled persons.” We currently recognize a wide range of diverse certifications that include Minority Businesses, Woman, Veterans, LGBTQ+, Disabled Persons, and other local city certifications. We understand that in certain instances we may have to use large scale companies, but we will continue to make best efforts to be economically inclusive every time opportunities arise.
