Affymetrix is committed to developing mutually beneficial business relationships with highly diverse base of suppliers. We recognize the importance of diversity in the global marketplace and we strive to forge mutually beneficial business relationships with suppliers that are minority, women, disabled, veteran owned business and/or small businesses.

We are committed to finding the best overall value, business alignment and the highest quality products and services from suppliers by encouraging a fair and competitive environment. Part of that commitment includes choosing suppliers that demonstrate fair employment practices and workplace diversity. These commitments should be measured through written plans, policies or programs established within their own business operations.

At Affymetrix, our single-minded focus on quality does not stop at the product we ship out of our factories, but is part of every operation. We look forward to working with suppliers who are likewise focused on providing the best quality product, while at the same time promoting diversity and fair business practices.
