Message From VP

MESSAGE FROM GEORGE COUNCIL

As Allied Universal’s Vice President for Strategic Sourcing and Acquisition Integration, one of my responsibilities is to be certain we have the right people, processes and technology to deliver Allied Universal security services. Supplier Diversity is an important component of the Allied Universal business strategy. Through subcontracted security partnerships and centrally sourced products and services, we work to integrate Supplier Diversity processes into how our company purchases goods and services.

The ability to effectively attract and engage minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned and small businesses suppliers is critical for successfully achieving our goals. We make every effort to be inclusive in all of our sourcing activities. While we appreciate the level of success we have achieved to date, we are driven by a set of beliefs that hold continued improvement and excellence as central tenets. As such, we have recently implemented measures to attain the world class Allied Universal Supplier Diversity program.

We value the strong, collaborative relationships we have developed with our suppliers. We seek to leverage Supplier Diversity in order to “better support the people and businesses of the communities we serve.” 

George Council
Vice President Strategic Sourcing and Acquisition Integration
