The National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), the
business voice of the LGBT community, proudly announces Time Warner
Cable Inc. (TWC) as the latest addition to the NGLCC National
Corporate Partner family. TWC is among the largest providers of
video, high-speed data and voice services in the United States.
Through its participation on the NGLCC Procurement Council and
Corporate Advisory Council, TWC can elevate its supplier diversity
programs among peers and colleagues. NGLCC's councils are the
premier forums to exchange ideas regarding supplier diversity best
practices; help create standards for how to do business with
certified LGBT suppliers; and discuss emerging trends in diversity
and inclusion. NGLCC corporate partners demonstrate their
commitment to inclusion by completing the circle of diversity,
which includes pro-LGBT workplace policies, authentic LGBT
marketing, and purchasing from certified LGBT Business Enterprises
(LGBTBEs).
“Time Warner Cable is excited to partner with NGLCC and we look
forward to new opportunities as we expand our supplier diversity
program with LGBT-owned businesses,” said David Wiehagen, TWC’s VP
and Chief Procurement Officer. “As a long-time supporter of
diversity and inclusion, we believe that working with diverse
suppliers is reflective of our employee and customer population and
truly benefits the business.”
TWC now joins NGLCC’s ever-growing roster of Fortune 500
corporations and business organizations seeking to expand economic
opportunities with LGBT businesses. NGLCC certified LGBT suppliers
will help nearly all major corporations and organizations achieve
the brass ring they aspire to: a billion dollar spend on minority
owned businesses. Adding LGBT enterprises to a supply chain
increases the number of high quality competitive bids that allow
companies to continue raising their minority spend year over year
as a part of their social responsibility commitments.
“Time Warner Cable is a leader within the telecommunications
industry that stands at the forefront of diversity and inclusion
initiatives," said Justin Nelson, NGLCC Co-Founder and President.
"We are thrilled to welcome Time Warner Cable as a corporate
partner as we know their commitment to supply chain diversity is
unwavering."
TWC has an existing relationship with the Wisconsin LGBT Chamber
of Commerce and recently sponsored its “LGBT Gives Back” launch
celebration event in Milwaukee. TWC has received numerous awards
for diversity and inclusion and was named a 2016 Best Place to Work
for LGBT employees by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation with a
perfect 100 percent score for the fourth year in a row.
