Increasing
Contracts
Ensuring access to clients and customers
Eastern Bank BEI Recognition Mixer

Corporate and large public contracts are harder for Black and Latinx businesses to access because they are shut out of the networks that so often foster these business decisions. Our solution is to engage and encourage large and mid-sized organizations to increase their purchasing spending with local enterprises of color. For example, we worked with the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce to launch the Pacesetters Initiative, which is committed to improving supplier diversity among Chamber corporate members. We continue to seek partnerships to help open more doors for our Black and Latinx enterprises to bid on and secure new contracts.  Learn more here about the Pacesetters Initiative.
