LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J., May 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Billtrust, a B2B accounts receivable (AR) automation and digital payments market leader, announced that was named the winner of a Silver Stevie^® Award in the Environment, Social and Governance category in The 21st Annual American Business Awards^®.

In recent years, Billtrust has taken significant steps in stakeholder engagement and has made investments in sustainability and diversity initiatives.

The company's eSolutions team exists to accelerate digital adoption and, in 2021, it hit a significant milestone by campaigning on behalf of its customers to eliminate 301 million paper invoices and 22 million paper checks from manufacture, distribution and disposal.

In 2022, Billtrust also introduced a sustainability award at its annual customer conference and created an environmental sales calculator for its sales teams to help educate customers on the impact of Billtrust products. The company strongly believes its commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB) is critical in fulfilling its vision to retain exceptional talent and lift up the communities in which it operates. The brand works to continually advance its DEIB efforts in a range of areas, including introducing a supplier diversity program and introducing seven Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). Finally, in 2022, Billtrust launched its year-round community impact program, Billtrust for Good, to donate $100,000 and volunteer 2,500+ hours to community partners worldwide.
