DETROIT, MI, UNITED STATES, January 20, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- National Veterans Business Development Council (NVBDC) announces the addition of UnitedHealth Group as its newest Corporate Member. UnitedHealth Group is partnering with NVBDC to identify and engage with Certified Service Disabled and Veteran Owned Businesses (SD/VOB) to support the company’s supply chain and product needs.

“UnitedHealth Group is committed to working with credible organizations to ensure we are best supporting the communities we serve through enhancing our inclusive supply chain initiatives,” said Darren Harmon, Senior Director, Supplier Diversity & Sustainability. “Our corporate membership with NVBDC is part of our continuing effort to advance a company culture dedicated to service, growth and innovation, and meeting high standards of business practice and performance.”

UnitedHealth Group focuses on diverse partnerships across its supply chain using business suppliers that meet the certification standards prescribed by National Veteran Business Development Council, as well as other industry-recognized standards of qualification. The company is committed to working alongside NVBDC to comply with applicable laws and operate under the highest ethical standards.

The total spend available from corporations to qualifying Veteran businesses is estimated to be in excess of $80 billion annually in the United States. Other corporations who support the NVBDC Certified SD/VOBs include the 28 member corporations of the Billion Dollar Roundtable. The NVBDC is the only veteran certification organization to meet the Billion Dollar Roundtable (BDR) audit standards and match their mission to drive supplier diversity excellence.
