Top Global Companies for Diversity & Innovation

As diversity and innovation has grown into a major business imperative, so too has the call to rank companies on their efforts. In fact, many companies covet the rankings on such lists. In a culture that puts significant emphasis on lists and rankings, such lists are the start, not the end of a company’s demonstrated commitment to diversity and innovation. The National Diversity Council introduces the next generation of quantitative and qualitative assessment of a company’s diversity and innovation efforts. Using a proprietary process, The National Diversity Council assesses a company’s global diversity and innovation efforts in the areas of People, Community, Supplier Diversity, Corporate Social Responsibility and Global Presence.
