Second Tier Program
Entergy has a strong and extended history of commitment to the communities it
serves. To insure this commitment, Entergy aggressively works with its prime
suppliers to implement a strong Second Tier Supplier Diversity Program. This
initiative was developed and designed to assist prime suppliers and track
mandatory reporting. Your company’s cooperation in this project is essential.
This user-friendly system will be able to track prime suppliers subcontracting
dollars spent with diverse, women-owned suppliers, veteran owned, disabled
veterans, and HUB Zone suppliers.

Purpose
Entergy’s Second Tier Initiative exists to maximize opportunities for

efforts aimed at increasing meaningful opportunities for M/WBEs to participate
as first tier suppliers.
