Supplier Diversity

We proudly invest in the communities where our employees live and work by purchasing goods and services produced by diverse suppliers who call our rail communities home. By reaching out and creating new supply chains, we’re helping diverse suppliers thrive and grow. We believe diversity makes us stronger, and we encourage new suppliers to partner with Union Pacific.
