Sonoco, Hartsville, S.C., USA, reports that Marc Ensign, director, services/outsourcing and supplier diversity, has been named a 2009 Champion of Diversity by DiversityPlus Magazine in its Third Annual Champions of Diversity Awards. To identify nominees for these awards, more than 15,000 U.S. suppliers were surveyed, asking them to assess corporate diversity leaders based on their company's growth in annual diversity spend, responsiveness to suppliers, new initiatives, best practices, benchmarking goals, and significant accomplishments impacting diversity. An independent editorial panel then evaluated the suppliers' 83 nominees, determining that only 25 qualified as champions. Ensign and Sonoco were recognized for quadrupling the company's diversity spend in the past five years and for finding innovative ways to use diverse suppliers in nontraditional areas.
