California American Water: Supplier Diversity Report

Challenge
California American Water (CAW) is a regulated utility that provides service to customers throughout California. The company is committed to cultivating relationships with diverse suppliers.

Each year CAW is tasked with submitting an annual report to the California Public Utilities Commission detailing every dollar spent in doing business with women; minority; lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT); disabled veteran; and persons with disabilities business enterprises.

Solution
On behalf of CAW, MNM created a contemporarily relevant, clear and informational report showcasing the company's diverse spend. The report not only highlighted diversity events and meetings through accessible synopses with compelling imagery, but also presented organized, often lengthy, data tables showcasing every dollar spent with prime and subcontracted diverse suppliers.

Results
The 2024 California American Water Supplier Diversity Report provided a fresh look at the company's diverse record. The report was heralded as a showpiece representing a principle tenet lending to the company's success.
