1. The
competitive advantage
of Supplier Diversity

of suppliers is much more than just the right thing to do. By increasing supplier diver-sity,
MPC gains access to a much broader base of competitive suppliers who provide
innovative solutions and varying perspectives. Through our supplier diversity initiative,
MPC is setting the groundwork and building relationships focused on providing
competitive advantage both today and into the future while being more reflective of
the communities where we operate.” Gary R. Heminger, President and CEO
