Pacesetters supplier diversity initiative, a collective effort to use equitable procurement to create a more inclusive regional economy, is pleased to announce that Pacesetters increased their spend with businesses of color in 2023 by 5.2% in Massachusetts and 9.7% nationally.
In 2022, Pacesetters buyers spent more than $322 million with Massachusetts MBEs and $5 billion with national MBEs. In 2023, Pacesetters buyers increased their spend with MBEs, spending more than $339 million with Massachusetts MBEs and more than $5.5 billion with MBEs nationally.
“When we founded the Pacesetters initiative in 2018, the Chamber Foundation led Greater Boston’s business community in the first large-scale activation of the buyers in supplier diversity. Every year, we see the Pacesetters buyers commit and act to advance equitable procurement practices that create more partnerships with businesses of color and greater success. As demonstrated by the strong Pacesetters data, our CEOs, procurement officers, and broader teams are leading the future of commerce that is inclusive and empowering,” said James E.

Successful supplier diversity requires commitment, action, and urgency, and we are proud of the Pacesetters business leaders and companies who are moving the needle.
