Dell has been selected by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) as one of America’s Top Corporations for Women’s Business Enterprises (WBEs) for 2008.
The annual listing of America’s Top Corporations for Women’s Business Enterprises is the only award honoring corporations for world-class programs that break down barriers that impede WBEs from gaining fair access to procurement opportunities.
In Fiscal Year 2008, Dell’s spending with women, small and minority-owned suppliers reached over $2.4 billion -” a significant increase over the past five years.
“We are proud to be selected for this award and recognized for our supplier diversity programs and results. As our customers and workforce become more diverse, it makes smart business sense to grow our relationship with diverse supply chain partners. We have seen that diverse suppliers bring amazing assets and innovative ideas to our corporation.” — Jens Gruenkemeier, Director General Procurement & Global Supplier Diversity.
