Standard Register (NYSE: SR), a leading provider of workflow, content and analytics solutions, announced that it has received the "2013 Class I Corporation of the Year" award from the Ohio Minority Supplier Development Council.
Standard Register has had an active supplier diversity program for more than a decade. It is a member of both the National Minority Supplier Development Council and the OMSDC.
"It is an honor to be recognized for our efforts along with leading companies such as Cintas, Kroger and Toyota," said Joseph P. Morgan, Jr., president and chief executive officer. "Standard Register spends tens of millions of dollars annually with diverse business enterprises, purchasing goods and services for our own use as well as for customers who trust us to help them meet their own diversity spending goals."
Standard Register recently nominated Vocalink, a language services company also based in Dayton, for Corporate Plus® membership in the National Minority Supplier Development Council. The company certified that this minority- and woman-owned business has the capacity to handle national contracts for major corporations.
"Our mission is to help businesses advance their reputations, so it was natural for us to reach out and support the efforts of a capable local business to grow," Morgan said. "It's good for our community and good for our customers who need translation services."
