Straughter Insights LLC is a consulting firm dedicated to helping organizations develop, enhance, and execute best-in-class Supplier Diversity and Sustainability strategies. We aim to drive inclusive economic growth while fostering sustainable, responsible business practices.
To create a future where inclusive supply chains are the norm, not the exception. We envision a world where every organization recognizes the power of diversity and sustainability to drive innovation, equity, and long-term success.
Our goal is to equip companies with the tools, strategies, and insights needed to build equitable, sustainable supply chains. We help our clients turn purpose into performance through expert guidance and measurable action.
We help organizations build and scale supplier diversity programs that deliver real business value. From policy creation to benchmarking and stakeholder engagement, we tailor solutions that align with your goals and create access for underrepresented suppliers.
With decades of executive-level experience, we provide strategic guidance on procurement transformation, responsible sourcing, and inclusive economic development. Our insights help you make confident, data-informed decisions that accelerate impact.
We bridge the gap between supplier diversity and enterprise-wide DEI strategies. Our approach embeds inclusive sourcing into broader business initiatives, enabling organizations to align internal values with external partnerships.
We design responsible supply chain strategies that balance business performance with environmental and social impact. From ESG assessments to supplier engagement, we help you meet compliance while advancing sustainability goals.
Clients choose Straughter Insights because we combine deep industry knowledge with practical, real-world solutions. We don’t just offer frameworks—we roll up our sleeves and help you implement them. Our approach is rooted in partnership, accountability, and a shared commitment to inclusive and sustainable growth. Whether you’re launching a new initiative or scaling an existing program, we meet you where you are and guide you where you want to go.
We make working with us straightforward and seamless. From the first conversation to the final deliverable, our process is designed to save you time, eliminate confusion, and deliver results. We listen, co-create, and communicate clearly every step of the way—so you can focus on what matters most.
Each course is backed by 30+ years of field-tested expertise in supplier diversity, procurement, ESG, and DEI integration. Participants walk away with real tools, customizable templates, and proven strategies they can immediately apply to their work. Whether you’re part of a small team or a Fortune 500 organization, our guidance is always tailored, never generic.
Not sure where to start? That’s what the initial consultation is for. We’ll take time to understand your goals, challenges, and current level of program maturity. Then we’ll recommend the right learning path—whether that’s a single course, a series, or a custom workshop. There’s no pressure—just a shared commitment to impact.
Director of Procurement, Global Healthcare Company
Focus Area: Supplier Diversity Consulting
“Straughter Insights helped us move from checking a box to building a high-impact supplier diversity program. John and his team conducted a comprehensive maturity assessment and designed a roadmap that aligned with our business objectives. Within 18 months, our diverse supplier spend increased by 40%, and we joined our industry’s top-tier diversity council. The difference was both strategic and cultural—our teams now see supplier inclusion as a competitive advantage.”
Chief Strategy Officer, National Retail Brand
Focus Area: DEI Strategy Integration
“We had separate DEI and procurement strategies that weren’t talking to each other. Straughter Insights brought those worlds together. They helped us embed supplier diversity goals into our DEI scorecards, co-facilitated ERG workshops, and worked with our executive team to ensure alignment. The results? Clear accountability, deeper supplier engagement, and a culture that supports equity from the inside out.”
VP of Operations, Industrial Manufacturing Firm
Focus Area: Sustainable Supply Chain
“Our leadership team was committed to ESG goals but unsure how to bring suppliers along. John and the Straughter Insights team built a custom supplier sustainability toolkit, led capability-building sessions, and helped us establish a Scope 3 emissions baseline. We now have supplier partnerships that are reducing waste, improving performance, and helping us meet our annual sustainability targets ahead of schedule.”
