Smart business shows – Verizon again named a top company for diversity

Harnessing the power of diversity at every opportunity is smart business. It’s also very recognizable: Black Enterprise magazine has named Verizon to the publication's annual list of 40 Best Companies for Diversity – again.

This is the sixth year Verizon has made the list. The 40 elite companies were selected based on their commitment to diversity in areas such as employee base, senior management representation, supplier diversity and board of directors.

"Verizon has the privilege of not only employing an extremely diverse workforce, but also serving one of the most diverse customer bases in the country," said Magda Yrizarry, Verizon’s Chief Talent and Diversity Officer. "Delivering on our promise to put our customers first requires a company culture rich in diversity and defined by inclusion, where people can explore new ideas and bring the latest technologies to market. It's an honor to be recognized by Black Enterprise Magazine."
Verizon has been recognized seven times this year for commitment to leveraging the diversity of employees, customers, suppliers and community partners. For example, Verizon has been named a best company for multicultural women, a top 50 company for diversity, and among the top 10 best places for diverse managers to work.
