| Q. |
Does my company need to be certified as an MBE, WBE, VBE or SDVBE to do business with Prudential?
|
| A. |
Prudential is committed to utilizing a diverse supplier base to provide the quality, price, and service we require. If you are seeking to do business with Prudential as a Minority- or Woman-owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE), you must first obtain third-party certification. The company does not currently require certification for Veteran or Service-Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise status.

| Q. |
What happens after I register?
|
| A. |
After we verify your certification (required for MWBEs), you will be entered into our database of diverse firms. This database is available to purchasers throughout Prudential. Please note, however, that registration is not a guarantee of business. The actual award of contracts is a competitive process. You will not be awarded contracts simply because of your diverse supplier status.
