The Supplier Diversity Pharmaceutical Forum is a collaborative group of supplier diversity professionals from 15 of the larger pharmaceutical companies that dedicate resources to create greater opportunity for diverse businesses to serve the pharmaceutical industry.

Lilly was instrumental in establishing the forum in the late 1990s and has co-sponsored the group since the end of 1999. The forum creates a network for its members to openly share diverse supplier information, benchmark for best practices and work cooperatively on joint events to benefit the diverse vendors serving the pharmaceutical industry.

The group meets formally on a quarterly basis, but interacts and shares best practices among members on an ongoing basis.
