At DTE, we thrive as a company and a society when everyone contributes their best energy. We’re proud to share that we received a top score on the Disability Equality Index and we’ve been recognized as a Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion by Disability:IN.

This recognition is due in part to the work of our Abilities in Motion energy group that provides outreach, support, resources, and advocacy for individuals with a wide range of abilities and their allies. In addition, our Human Resources team creates and implements policies that ensure everyone feels welcome and brings their best energy to work each day.

Our supplier diversity team is building on that commitment through their industry-leading efforts to grow our network of local and diverse suppliers. Using an innovative combination of outreach, advocacy, and training, they seek out diverse businesses and help them grow. Our award-winning supplier diversity program provides new opportunities for businesses to succeed and grow. It also creates jobs, expands the economy and builds the capacity for revitalization.

In 2023, we spent more than $988 million with certified diverse suppliers and we continue to grow that number. We’re dedicated to building an inclusive and accommodating environment for differently abled suppliers and employees. Because we believe a supply chain shouldn’t just support its customers; it should also represent and connect them.
