WE VALUE YOUR BUSINESS

California Bank & Trust recognizes that banking is a “local” business, and to be successful, we must be representative of the customers and the communities we serve. Through our Supplier Diversity Program, we are committed to identifying diverse third parties that may be able to offer products and services needed by the bank. This program will create an environment that levels the playing field so all businesses can successfully compete for California Bank & Trust procurement opportunities.

We encourage our suppliers to operate in ways that promote beneficial social and environmental outcomes. For our part, we pledge to treat our suppliers with respect, provide development opportunities and work as long-term partners.

Supporting diversity is essential when locating sources of materials and services, selecting suppliers, and managing supplier and contractor relationships. Inclusiveness provides real business opportunities to traditionally underused suppliers. Diversifying our vendor base helps enhance competition among suppliers, resulting in increasingly innovative products and services, improved reliability, and lower costs.

INTERESTED IN DOING BUSINESS WITH CALIFORNIA BANK AND TRUST?

Diverse suppliers must complete an online registration and company profile to be considered for inclusion in our supplier database, which is made available to our supply chain managers. Priority consideration will be given to those who are clients of the bank.
