ATLANTA, June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) is proud to announce that 18 corporations have been named to the America's Top Corporations for Women's Business Enterprises Hall of Fame and 63 corporations have been honored with the prestigious America's Top Corporations for Women's Business Enterprises (WBEs): Resiliency Edition award.

WBENC applauds the Top Corporations Hall of Fame honorees for their dedication to successfully implementing world-class diversity and inclusion programs that enable growth and innovation, while breaking down barriers for women entrepreneurs.

These companies set the highest standards and a sustained commitment to leading practices and innovation in their support for women-owned businesses. 

Additional recognition goes to the America's Top Corporations: Resiliency Edition, which have shown an intensified commitment to supporting and working with women-owned businesses throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, despite the ongoing challenges that the world has faced.

Supplier diversity leadership efforts by the Top Corporations Hall of Fame and Top Corporations: Resiliency Edition awardees throughout 2020 and 2021 include:

• Involvement and contributions to WBENC COVID-19 initiatives, such as focused problem-solving sessions around the crisis related to Supplier Diversity, procurement and supply chains.
