Supplier Diversity
We want our pool of suppliers and contractors to reflect the diversity of the consumers who buy our vehicles.





Dealer Diversity
Nissan’s Dealer Diversity program is the first of its kind for the company and the genesis of our recent increase in minority dealers. The program creates a purposeful partnership where:
- Nissan places minority dealer candidates in healthy stores in great markets.
- The dealer candidate is the owner day one, rather than a lengthy buy out process.
- Financial, marketing and operational progress and planning are offered.
Nissan values inclusion in all areas of our business, including procuring innovative goods and services and retailing our cars, as we work to prioritize the diversity of our customer base.
