PHI Supplier Diversity Initiatives Are Moving Ahead

Pepco Holdings Inc. (PHI)
Reginald McCauley Director Supply Chain for Pepco Holdings, Inc. (PHI)

Pepco Holdings Inc. (PHI) is a regional energy holding company that provides utility service to about 2 million customers. PHI is the parent company of Pepco, an electric utility serving Washington, D.C., and suburban Maryland; Delmarva Power, an electric and gas utility serving Delaware and the rest of the Delmarva Peninsula; and Atlantic City Electric, an electric utility serving southern New Jersey.  

 

Reginald McCauley is director of supply chain for PHI , the executive lead responsible for procurement of PHI’s materials and services, including Supplier Diversity.   McCauley says, “PHI stands as a corporate member of the Maryland Washington Minority Companies (MWMCA) that strongly supports the organizational mission and the work Wayne and his team does. Their advocacy for the inclusion of certified woman and minority owned firms reflects our core corporate values.” Organizations like MWMCA are instrumental in the success of PHI in identifying capable suppliers, particularly in the communities we serve.

 

PHI has a longstanding commitment to supplier diversity. It is a key component of our strategic sourcing and purchasing strategy. The Supplier Diversity Program evolved from our operating companies, particularly Pepco which established a Minority Business Development Department in the 1970s and voluntarily signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Maryland Public Service Commission and the District of Columbia Public Service Commission in the 1990s. In 2009, Pepco and Delmarva Power signed revised MOUs with the MD Public Service Commission.  Atlantic City Electric has a been a member of the Supplier Diversity Development Council (SDDC) since 1998, a program of the New Jersey public utilities and the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) dedicated to forging effective working relationships between minority, service-disabled veteran and woman-owned businesses.

 

McCauley and PHI’s supplier diversity team and buying professionals are committed to working with the diverse supplier community to remove barriers, ensure diverse supplier inclusion and success in the PHI Supply Chain.
