At Ameren, we believe we are only as strong as the communities we serve. And we are making an impact through employee volunteerism, philanthropic support and investment.

For example, helping diverse-owned enterprises succeed is an essential part of our strategy. Ameren’s robust supplier diversity program provides equal access for all qualified businesses, including those owned by minorities, women, veterans and service-disabled veterans as well as LGBT-owned businesses. These relationships drive economic growth and bring added value and innovation to Ameren.

  • We are proud to open our doors to the diverse business community with our biennial Ameren Supplier Diversity Symposium. This symposium is an ideal environment for raising awareness of our procurement process among members of the diverse business community.
  • We are funding scholarships to allow diverse suppliers to attend the Minority Business Executive Program at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. Since 1980, the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth has helped minority business executives succeed and now boasts 7,000 graduates of its high-impact programs.
