Supplier Diversity

As CEO of San Jose Water, Eric Thornburg and the SJW Executive Leadership Team are focused on how we can build on our strong heritage, while best positioning the organization for the future. At San Jose Water it is our mission to be trusted professionals delivering exceptional quality water and service to customers and communities while protecting the environment and providing a fair return to shareholders.

We recognize that, in order to accomplish this mission, we must honor our core values of integrity, respect, service, compassion, trust, teamwork and transparency, while focusing on the following strategic building blocks: our customers, our community, our employees, and the environment.

Our supplier diversity strategy fits firmly within the framework of our mission, values, and strategic building blocks, representing an important part of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program.

San Jose Water is committed to continuously improving our supplier diversity program. We recognize that partnering with Diverse Business Enterprises (DBEs) is an important part of San Jose Water’s success.
