About Our Supplier Diversity Program

Hyatt, founded in 1957 by Jay Pritzker, continues to be guided by the spirit that fostered the formation and growth of our company for more than 65 years. Our roots give us a perspective shared by businesspeople seeking to develop their companies and reach new levels of success. In our efforts to increase our overall purchasing with minority and women-owned businesses, we established benchmarks/goals for our managed properties. To help us reach our goals, we contracted with CVM Solutions, a company that provides supplier relationship management tools to manage the location, registration and qualification of suppliers.
