USPS is top government agency for supplier diversity
The United States Postal Service (USPS) has been named as the number-one government agency for providing business opportunities to diverse business owners throughout the United States. USPS was among the organisations that will be recognised at DiversityBusiness.com’s “16th Annual National Summit”, which took place on Tuesday last week (26 April).
More than 1.5 million companies with diverse business owners participated in an online election held by DiversityBusiness.com to determine the top organizations.
The award is based on participants’ responses to questions regarding volume, consistency and quality of business initiatives a government agency grants to companies owned by women and minorities.
USPS has ranked among the top federal agencies in the category for 15 consecutive years, and has been awarded the top honor for the last five years.
“The Postal Service is honored to receive this award again this year,” said US Postmaster General Megan J. Brennan. “The Supplier Diversity program continues to strengthen our competitiveness in the marketplace. I am proud of our continued commitment to maintaining a strong, competitive and diverse supplier base.”
