The Div500 is the 5th annual listing of the Nation's top 500 diversity-owned businesses. Ranging in revenue size from $12 million to over $1.8 billion, the companies listed on the Div500 represent the Nation's top multicultural earners and challenge the long-held notion that a diversity-owned business is small or insignificant.
The Power of Diversity Business
It is no longer just "the right thing” to do business with diversity suppliers. Affected by recent economic and demographic trends and changes, corporations throughout the country are realizing that diversity in suppliers positively impacts their business. Diversity-owned businesses contribute over $1.4 trillion in sales to the U.S. economy.
Lovey Hammel, President of Temporary Solutions, Inc., states, "Diversity uses the unique talents of everyone and is critically important to the growth of our economy. We are proud to win these awards and highlight the diversity of our company and our workforce."
The Div500
The Div500 is a classification that represents the top 500 diversity-owned (women, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Native Indian and other minority groups) businesses in the U.S., in sectors such as technology, manufacturing, food service and professional services.

The Div500 is produced annually by DiversityBusiness.com, the nation's leading multicultural B2B Internet portal that links large organizational buyers to multicultural product and service suppliers.
