Comcast NBCUniversal joined corporate advocacy organization The Billion Dollar Roundtable (BDR), the group said Wednesday. BDR promotes “supply chain diversity” and is made up of 20 other U.S. companies “that have attained $1 billion or more in annual Tier I supply-chain diversity spend,” BDR said. Other members include AT&T, Avis, Dell, Ford, Microsoft and Verizon. “In 2014, 17 percent of Comcast NBCUniversal's total applicable procurement spend was with diverse suppliers,” BDR said.
