National Veterans Business Development Council (NVBDC) welcomes Kohl’s as its newest Corporate Member. Kohl’s is committed to supporting NVBDC Certified Service-Disabled, and Veteran Owned Businesses (SD/VOBs). This includes an ongoing effort to enhance their outreach to secure SD/VOBs in their procurement opportunities.
Kohl’s aspires to provide equal access to business opportunities to a diverse supplier base, including minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, LGBT-owned, disability-owned and other diverse suppliers. The company aims to drive supplier diversity inclusion across all areas of its business through cultivating and developing new and existing partnerships, advocating for growth and innovation and demonstrating the positive impact to its business.
To be considered as a Kohl’s supplier, it is important for SD/VOBs to have NVBDC Certification and other Multi-Diverse Certifications. Companies are required to register on the Supplier Portal to input company profile information. Be prepared to have basic company information, Federal ID Number, DUNS Number and Certifications. Registering as a prospective supplier is not a guarantee of business or bid participation. Registered suppliers will be reviewed and contacted if they meet the program specifications, at that time.
Veteran-focused Diversity Programs are an $80 billion market in the United States. Other corporations that support NVBDC Certified SD/VOBs include the 28 member corporations of the Billion Dollar Roundtable. 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.
“We are expanding NVBDC opportunities for our Certified Service-Disabled / Veteran Owned Businesses. NVBDC is always available to answer your questions on how to get certified.” Said Brigadier General (ret) Dick Miller, President, NVBDC.
