Tier II Reporting

Encouraging diversity throughout the supply chain.

KeyBank’s diversity, equity, and inclusion practices embrace our diverse suppliers and encourage other suppliers to do the same. Working together, we can promote the benefits of diversity.

Key has provided the following overview to support the awareness and execution of this business strategy.

Report Your Second-Tier Spending

If you are a current Tier I supplier of KeyBank, you are strongly encouraged to report your spend with diverse businesses.

KeyBank has automated how we request, communicate, gather and consolidate reports from all the suppliers providing Second-Tier supplier diversity data. To learn more about reporting Second Tier spend to Key or for questions, please contact Jason Cwiklinski at 716-342-3077 or email us.
