Login Supplier Diversity Program CNO Financial Group is committed to working with qualified suppliers who fully meet the criteria established in our Supplier Diversity Program. We welcome all potential suppliers who can add value to our products and fulfill our requirements on a competitive basis. If you are interested in registering as a diverse supplier, please confirm that your company meets the qualifying requirements below before submission. Supplier Qualification CNO’s Supplier Diversity Program includes the following classifications for diverse suppliers: • Minority-Owned Business Enterprise • Women-Owned Business Enterprise • Veteran-Owned Business Enterprise • Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business Enterprise • People with Disability-Owned Business Enterprise • LGBTQ+-Owned Business Enterprise CNO’s Supplier Diversity Program includes certification by one or more of these organizations: • National Minority Development Council (NMSDC) or regional affiliates • Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) or regional affiliates • National Veteran-Owned Business Association (NaVOBA) • National Gay, Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) or regional affiliates Program Administration According to the National Minority Supplier Diversity Council (NMSDC), minority group members are United States citizens who are Asian, Black, Hispanic, and Native American. Additionally, ownership by minority individuals means the business is at least 51% owned by such individuals or, in the case of a publicly-owned business, at least 51% of the stock is owned by one or more such individuals (i.e. the management and daily operations are controlled by those minority group members). The Supplier Diversity Program is administered by CNO’s Sourcing & Vendor Management Office and is embedded as part of its Supplier Relationship Management Program.
