ReferenCe:  Supplier Diversity Program at Delta Air Lines

Delta Air Lines supports communities through many different channels. Within the Seattle
community, Delta has purchased and installed new playgrounds, built Habitat for Humanity homes, as
well as monetary donations to many different charities. Delta's outreach to diverse suppliers is
another'means by which Delta seeks to strengthen our ties to the communities we serve while
promoting the goods and services of diverse suppliers. To qualify as a diverse sUppiier companies
must be owned, operated, and controlled by a member of one of the following groups:
0   Women
African American
.90...   Asian American
Hispanic American
Native American
Disabled Veterans
Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual. 8. Transgender

Ownership by any of these groups' means that the business is at least 51% owned by such
individuals. or in the case of a publicly owned business. at least 51% of the stock is owned by one or
more such individuals. The management and daily operations must be controlled by those women or
minority group members.

All candidates who wish to be considered as small. small disadvantaged, small veteran-owned, small
HUB zone, minority, or women-owned suppliers to Delta must be certied by a valid council or
government agency such as National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC), Women's
Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), or Smelt Business Administration (SBA).

Delta is proud to have expanded diversity recognition through the second tier initiative. The second
tier initiative augments our Supplier Diversity program and increases our ability to include MWBE's in
our supply chains by requiring Delta's primary contractors to utilize and report their spending with
diverse suppliers. By doing so, our Supplier Diversity efforts are greatly enhanced and meaningful
business opportunities are extended even more SO to MWBEs.

Delta continuously updates our supplier database with new smart I businesses, diverse providers, and
disadvantaged companies. Each year, Delta honors our top small, minority and women-owned
suppliers who bring value to our partnership by providing quality products and services.
Delta's small, minority and women-owned award recipients areselected based on the following
criteria:
0   performance
innovation
cost reduction/savings
outreachlcommunity involvement

Being a good corporate citizen is important to Deita. The program is sponsored at the executive ievel
where alt diversity spend reporting is presented. Our supplier diversity team works with numerous
MWBE's locally and nailonatly, sponsoring and participating in various activities and events to expand
business opportunities and relationships within the MWBE communities in which it serves.
