13 years ago, DiversityInc created the “Top 50″ companies in Diversity globally.  This years results are out, and the Top 50 are listed below.

It all started back in 2001, when companies were starting to see business value in diversity as a strategic priority.

The companies participating in the survey and assessment from DiversityInc are rated in four areas, including:

• CEO Commitment
• Human Capital
• Corporate and Organizational Communications
• Supplier Diversity

Only 2 new companies made the list compared to last year, and one was a first-time participant. 20 companies moved up on the list, and 24 moved down.
