WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) is proud to honor 60 corporations with the prestigious America’s Top Corporations for Women’s Business Enterprises (WBEs) award.
The Top Corporations award honors those corporations who have demonstrated a sustained commitment to the inclusion of women-owned businesses in their supply chains. WBENC applauds the 2018 honorees for successfully implementing world-class diversity and inclusion programs that enable growth and innovation, while breaking down barriers for women-owned businesses.
To underscore that commitment, the Top Corporations collectively spent more than $39.5 billion on WBENC-Certified WBE suppliers in 2018, an increase of $200 million from the prior year. Helping to drive those results is a dedication to developing and increasing spend with diverse suppliers — all 60 Top Corporations offer mentoring and development programs for WBE suppliers, 98 percent have annual diversity spend goals, and 90 percent tie those goals directly to executive’s performance and bonus structure.
