Supplier Diversity Program- American Water recognizes the value of supplier diversity as a strategic business decision, and is committed to seek and identify diverse suppliers and offer them an opportunity to compete for products and service contracts. With operations in many different geographic regions, it’s important that our suppliers reflect those whom we serve. American Water recognizes that an effective Supplier Diversity Policy broadens the supplier base, increases competition, and ensures that our company receives the best available value. We seek to include diverse suppliers in each of our strategic sourcing projects and welcome minority-owned, woman-owned, and disabled veteran-owned businesses (MBE/WBE/DVBE) to contact us.

Code of Ethics* - American Water’s reputation and success depends upon its employees conducting business with honesty and integrity. This means that we must act ethically and respectfully toward our customers, vendors and others. We also encourage our vendors to view American Water's Code of Ethics.
