Wawa

Overview

Wawa began its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) journey by completing key workforce and workplace initiatives. The company then expanded its focus to include diversity within marketplace functions and the broader community. As part of this effort, Wawa turned its attention to developing a Supplier Diversity program.

In building this program, several factors influenced how the initiative was customized to Wawa’s operational environment.

M³ Consulting supported this effort by reviewing data systems that impacted buying decisions including procurement, accounts payable, and project and construction management. Through advanced systems integration, the firm enabled real-time assessments of cross-functional activities and began addressing silos that had limited the organization’s ability to identify and resolve root-cause issues. Upon completing the review, M³ Consulting delivered strategic recommendations and assisted with implementing seamless connectivity and data-sharing across Wawa’s operating units.
