Team Up With The Best

To join forces with HSM and connect with our Supplier Diversity team:

Step 1

Complete the Hilton Supplier Diversity survey. Qualifying diverse businesses will be contacted by a member of our Supplier Diversity team.

To qualify as a diverse supplier, business owners must meet the following criteria:

  • Own and control at least 51% of the business and identify as a woman, veteran, disabled veteran, disabled, LGBTQ+, and/or a person of color (e.g. Asian American, African American, Hispanic American, Native American)
  • Serve as President or CEO (if both positions exist)
  • Be active in daily management
  • Occupy the ownership/officer position for at least 6 months
  • Meet the pre-determined minimum qualifications certified by applicable councils

Step 2

Registered potential suppliers may be contacted when a need arises for a new bid or contract for a product or service; if your company is selected to participate in a sourcing event, an HSM representative will contact you.


Bridge Partnership

At HSM, our overarching commitment to our suppliers is to help them grow their businesses, achieve their strategic goals and succeed. To deliver on this promise, Hilton and HSM have developed an industry-first partnership with Bridge (a Foro Holdings company), to create a direct pipeline to capital funding for suppliers of all sizes and economic reach. 

Our team understands that there isn’t a supply chain without suppliers, and we believe this funding opportunity, a first of its kind in the hospitality industry, represents an essential step towards a more inclusive global supply chain. Consistent cash flow is essential to the strength of any business, and this industry-leading capital investment program is designed to simplify the loan search and connect U.S.-based HSM suppliers with the capital support needed to scale their businesses, successfully.
