United Rentals Supplier Diversity Program
At United Rentals, Inc., we proactively seek diverse suppliers. We believe that companies that actively embrace diversity and consistently demonstrate their commitment to the many communities they serve, establish a sustainable competitive advantage in the marketplace. United Rentals' Supplier Diversity program plays an important role in our company's overall commitment to enhance the growth and development of the communities we serve. The ever-changing nature of the economy requires us to remain competitive. All companies must proactively reach out and include the broadest range of people, ideas, products and services possible. United Rentals' Supplier Diversity program does just that.

Doing business with us

As United Rentals defines its position in the ever growing and changing marketplace, we consciously do all we can to:

Increase the opportunities for diversity owned businesses.
Ensure that diverse businesses are afforded equal opportunity to participate in our procurement processes.
To qualify for United Rentals' Supplier Diversity program, a company must be at least 51% owned, controlled, and managed by a minority, woman, veteran, service-disabled veteran, or be classified as a Hub Zone, small business, small disadvantaged or 8A Supplier.

Through its Supplier Diversity program, United Rentals builds relationships with businesses capable of providing commodities and services at competitive prices. Suppliers are very important to the success of our business. We ultimately only award contracts based on mutual trust, merit, and most importantly, how a relationship with a particular supplier will benefit our company.

We encourage both prospective and current suppliers to complete a Supplier Profile using our Supplier Diversity system. Doing so will allow us to match your company's capabilities with our requirements. Along with registering, we ask that you provide us with a copy of your Supplier Diversity Certification. Please download, print, and fill out the Supplier Diversity application. When completed, please fax the form to (203) 724-0880.
