These standards — professionalism, honesty and integrity — are reflected in our Supplier Code of Conduct. If you collaborate with us as a supplier, this code will help you understand our service expectations.

Diversity and inclusion are important values at MFS. The purpose of the MFS Supplier Diversity Program is to incorporate and promote these values as we engage with our supplier community.
We believe that a diverse supplier base has many benefits, including driving competition, increasing innovation and ultimately contributing to MFS' competitive advantage.
There are many kinds of diversity, and our goal is to keep all the relevant factors in mind as we source potential suppliers. However, to be included in our Supplier Diversity Program, we ask only that a business meet at least one of these criteria related to ownership and operation:
The business must have its status certified by a recognized certifying organization such as the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), the National Minority Supplier Diversity Council (NMSDC), DisabilityIn, the Greater New England Minority Supplier Development Council (GNEMSDC), the Massachusetts LGBT Chamber of Commerce (MALGBTCC), the City of Boston, or the State of Massachusetts' Supplier Diversity Office.
