We recognize diverse supplier certifications from local, state and federal agencies as well as organizations such as:

Certifying agencies

Certification of your company helps to ensure the integrity of Wells Fargo’s Supplier Diversity reporting. The certification process typically involves completing an application and providing written documentation, and may include allowing the certifying agency to conduct a site visit. If your company qualifies, the certifying agency will issue you a printed certificate to verify your status.

How to submit a supplier profile
