February 2, 2023 – Vizient has been named one of the 2023 America’s Top Corporations for Women’s Business Enterprises (WBEs) by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). The America’s Top Corporations award is the only national award honoring corporations for world-class supplier diversity programs that reduce barriers and drive growth for women-owned businesses.
Vizient is committed to increasing business opportunities for diverse, women-owned businesses in order to fuel innovation, enable growth and development, and break down barriers for women entrepreneurs. Vizient will be honored at the WBENC National Conference taking place March 20-23, 2023, in Nashville, TN, and throughout ongoing WBENC network communications nationwide.
Since 1999, WBENC has celebrated America’s Top Corporations for Women’s Business Enterprises honorees who successfully drive the sustainable inclusion of women-owned businesses within corporate and government supply chains and empowered local communities through economic growth and job creation.
The WBENC Top Corporations model reviews WBE outreach and engagement, such as providing support for successful onboarding and retention of WBEs for supply chain business needs and development of future WBEs. The model also assesses foundational concepts of supplier diversity, including overall program structure, contracting, and reporting, and organization accountability with executive leadership and line of business decision-makers.
