Diversity at DASNY is not just about meeting mandates. It’s about bringing top talent, multiple perspectives, and best solutions to every project. This is why a commitment—to business enterprises owned by minorities, women, and service-disabled veterans—permeates everything we do.
DASNY is committed to providing real opportunities for MWSBE and SDVOB companies to compete.
Embracing Diversity & Inclusion to Better Finance, Design and Build New York's Future
DASNY is committed to creating a workplace where everyone is valued, respected, and included. We strive to attract diverse talent that reflects the communities that we serve. At DASNY, we know that diverse teams and engaged employees are the key to providing the best services to our clients and driving innovation. Our goal is to foster an environment that embraces differences in race, culture, gender identity, age, physical and mental ability, sexual orientation, thought, and experiences and leverage those differences to further our mission to finance, design and build New York's future.
Diversity in Finance
We set and meet Minority-, Women-Business Enterprise (MWBE) and Service- Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB) participation goals for public clients.
Diversity in Construction and Professional Services
We require all contractors, consultants and providers to use qualified MWBE and SDVOB firms. The Governor’s statewide construction-related goal for MWBE participation is 30% and SDVOB participation is 6%.
Diversity in Procurement
Our Procurement and Opportunity Programs team serves as our watchdog for MWBE issues. It approves every MWBE utilization plan, reviews actual MWBE participation on every project, and reaches out to prime contractors who need more MWBE firms to meet their goals.
By weaving MWBEs and SDVOBs into all we do, we broaden opportunity for all New Yorkers—and bring an unprecedented level of excellence to your next project.
