PITTSBURGH, March 2024 – Continuing its mission to provide veterans and their spouses with the finest choices for employment opportunities, today, VIQTORY released the 2024 Military Friendly® Supplier Diversity Program list.
Since 2003, the Military Friendly® lists have set the standard for organizations to provide the best opportunities for veterans and military spouses.
This prestigious list provides a comprehensive guide for veterans and their families using data sources through continuously improved methodology, criteria, and weightings developed with the help of an independent research firm and proprietary survey information from participating organizations.
Organizations earning the Military Friendly® Supplier Diversity Program designation were evaluated using both public and government data sources with responses from a comprehensive survey completed by the employer.
We are proud to recognize 142 employers earning this prestigious designation and truly representing what it means to be “Better for Veterans and Better for America.”

About Military Friendly® Supplier Diversity Programs:
The Military Friendly® Supplier Diversity Program list is created each year based on extensive research using public data sources for more than 8,800 employers nationwide, and responses to the proprietary, data-driven Military Friendly® Companies survey from participating companies.
The survey questions, methodology, criteria, and weighting were developed with the assistance of an independent research firm. Ernst & Young, a global leader in assurance, tax, transaction, and advisory services, independently evaluated the scoring methodology used for the Military Friendly® Supplier Diversity Program list using the criteria set forth by VIQTORY. The services performed by EY are limited to advisory procedures and do not provide assurance over the scoring methodology.
The survey is administered for free and is open to all employers that wish to participate. Criteria for consideration can be found at www.militaryfriendly.com.
