Corporate Membership
Membership of CAMSC is open to corporations and other public or private purchasing entities in Canada.
The Business Case:
Diversity is here to stay.
Today’s successful corporations and institutions are those that acknowledge the demographic shifts in Canada and the US and seek to diversify their supply chain. The Canadian Aboriginal and Minority Supplier Council (CAMSC) like its counterpart in the US, the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC), is a catalyst for harnessing, advancing and facilitating procurement strategies of major corporations.
Purchasing from Aboriginal and visible minority firms has proved to be good business and a "win-win" opportunity for both corporate entities and suppliers. The supplier business wins because it now has access to corporate procurement opportunities and through that access it can grow. Major corporations win because when they find a new supplier they gain choice, innovation, competitiveness and market knowledge. Canada wins because it boosts employment levels, trade and competitiveness.
Canadian corporations are ready to join CAMSC if they’re ready to reach growing Aboriginal and visible minority markets, find more competitive suppliers and access higher quality goods and services.
