This prestigious list honors large corporations that most successfully engage certified Veteran's Business Enterprises® (VBEs/SDVBEs) as suppliers.

LEXINGTON, KY, USA, December 4, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The National Veteran-Owned Business Association (NaVOBA) announces the best U.S. corporations committed to working with veteran-owned businesses in 2023 using data and responses from the 2023 Best Corporations for Veteran’s Business Enterprises^® (BCVBE) Survey. This prestigious list honors those corporations that most successfully engage the nation’s certified Veteran’s and Service-Disabled Veteran’s Business Enterprises^® (VBEs/SDVBEs) as suppliers. The awards were presented at the 2023 National Business Inclusion Consortium (NBIC) Unity Week in Philadelphia.

“The military teaches leadership, teamwork, integrity, resolve and ingenuity,” said NaVOBA President Matthew Pavelek. “These intangibles are also the most important ingredients for success in running a business – which is why corporate America is so eager to partner with veteran-owned suppliers. The corporations we honor with this program just happen to be the best.”

The companies that earned this year’s distinction include: Accenture, Capital One, CDW, Corteva, Lowe's Companies, Inc., Pitney Bowes, Sanofi, Shell USA, Inc. Travel + Leisure Company, US Bank, and Vistra Corporation.

“This distinction is especially important since corporate America's eagerness to buy veteran is sound business, not compliance.” said NaVOBA Vice President Mimi Lohm. “Earning this distinction demonstrates an understanding that doing business with veterans isn't just the right thing to do; it's simply a smart business decision... Corporate America is serious about including opportunities for veterans to compete for business. The firms honored tonight just happen to be the best.”
