Minority + Diversity

APC is a Native American-owned business committed to embracing and promoting diversity, and we aggressively work to improve the economic and social conditions of the minority communities we serve. We believe diversity brings new experiences, ideas and opportunities that can address service needs and benefit employees, our clients and our business.

APC extends our commitment to quality minority-owned businesses by engaging them as suppliers and vendors. We provide equal opportunity to qualified minority, gay, disabled, veteran and women-owned (MWBE) businesses. Since 1999 more than 49 percent of our suppliers have been MWBE suppliers and our supplier-retention rate is near 100 percent. APC’s minority business relationships have and continue to bring rewarding, valued services.

APC’s Supplier Mentor Program

APC is committed to helping American minority suppliers improve their own quality and customer service. Through our Supplier Mentor Program, APC offers a variety of business tools to qualified, minority-owned companies.

  • A 90-page, fact-filled guide created by APC – “Best Practices for Business - Becoming a Preferred Supplier” 
  • On-line training on Tier 2/Supplier performance guidelines
  • Training on compliance with a client’s agreement terms and conditions 
  • Training on compliance with a client’s policies and facilities’ rules
  • Audit and feedback on supplier’s performance
  • Frequent presentations on “Best Practices for Business” at meetings of regional affiliates of the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC)
