Allianz Holdings is striving to place more business with diverse suppliers through a pilot with Kaleida International, an inclusive business-to-business (B2B) marketplace for tenders.
Suppliers listed on Kaleida are businesses which are at least 51% owned and operated by women, veterans, people from ethnic minorities, from LGBTQ+ communities, or people who are neurodivergent or have disabilities. These suppliers are often certified by a third-party entity but can also be self-certified.
The partnership with Kaleida will support procurement, supply and workplace services within the Allianz group, including LV=, as they look to diversify their pool of providers. Alongside traditional market research tools, it will help them identify, assess and invite diverse suppliers to their upcoming tenders.
