Casual scene with a diverse group of professionals

Diversity and Inclusion

We value diversity because it's smart business. Our focus on diversity and inclusion creates opportunities — for our workforce, our suppliers, and for renters and homeowners in the communities we serve. Different perspectives make us a stronger company, drive innovation, and support our efforts to make home possible for America's families.

HomeSteps is dedicated to working with minority real estate agents. Learn more about the National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB), the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP), the Asian Real Estate Association of America (AREAA) or the National Association of Women in Real Estate Businesses (NAWRB).

Our Diverse Suppliers

The secondary mortgage market is an ever changing and demanding environment that calls for suppliers who maintain high-quality standards, are cost competitive and place a premium on customer service. We focus on identifying qualified diverse vendors who meet these standards. Supplier Diversity works closely with Procurement and the company's business areas so that these suppliers can provide the highest quality products and services at the most competitive prices.

Have an Equal Opportunity in Contracting Complaint?

Freddie Mac receives complaints relating to discrimination or retaliation in any aspect of the contracting process or administration of contracts through Freddie Mac's Compliance and Ethics Helpline (1-877-301-2633 or www.freddiemacethicshelpline.com). If at all possible, such complaints should be submitted to Freddie Mac within thirty (30) days after the alleged discrimination or retaliation has taken place; however, we understand this is not always possible and will give due consideration to complaints filed after the thirty-day deadline. Freddie Mac will investigate these complaints and will attempt to resolve them in a reasonable and impartial manner.

Freddie Mac will treat every complaint and investigation confidentially to the extent considered practicable and will make disclosures of information provided to Freddie Mac by the complaining party on a business need-to-know basis and as otherwise legally required. Freddie Mac will not retaliate against any vendor as a result of that vendor's having filed a complaint of discrimination in any aspect of the contracting process or administration of contracts.
