 Diversity-owned
businesses contribute over $1.4 trillion in sales to the
U.S. economy
Kenton Clarke, CEO of Computer Consulting Associates
International
DiversityBusiness announced the Div500, the 6th
annual listing of the nations' top 500 diversity-owned
businesses. Ranging in revenue size from $20 million to over $2
billion, the companies listed on the Div500 represent the
nations' top multicultural earners.
"Diversity-owned businesses contribute over $1.4 trillion in
sales to the U.S. economy," said Kenton Clarke, CEO of Computer
Consulting Associates International, the company that built
DiversityBusiness. " It is no longer "just the right thing" to
do business with diversity suppliers. Because of recent economic
and demographic trends and changes, major corporations are
realizing that having a diverse supplier base positively impacts
their business revenue from this sector of buyers".
The Div500 is a classification that represents the top 500
diversity-owned (women, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Native
American and other minority groups) businesses in the U.S., in
sectors such as technology, manufacturing, food service and
professional services.
"The Div500 companies are the heroes of diversity-owned
business in America ," said Kenton Clarke. These are the people
that have conquered the hurdles and made the sacrifices,
building and strengthening their communities, providing jobs and
helping to keep the fabric of the U.S. economy together."
