ATLANTA, GA -In recognition of its continued success in building relationships and providing increased opportunities for minority- and women-owned businesses, UPS recently was named "Corporation of the Year" by the Native American Business Alliance (NABA), the premier business organization for Native American-owned firms.

Each year, NABA and its membership present the "Corporation of the Year" award to the company that best demonstrates a strong commitment to supplier diversity and has a significant level of participation and support of Native American business initiatives. In 2002, UPS awarded more than $127 million in contracts nationwide to minority- and women-owned firms.

"UPS's partnership with NABA continues to grow and we're pleased to collaborate in an effort to provide more opportunities for Native American business owners," said UPS Vice President of Procurement Services Bill Moon, who is responsible for the company's supplier diversity initiatives. "The products and services provided by UPS's diverse suppliers are critical to our success. We are honored to receive this award and look forward to furthering our relationship with this great organization."

In addition, UPS also ranked among "America's Top Organizations for Multicultural Business Opportunities" by Div2000.com, the nation's primary resource portal for small businesses and large organizational buyers. UPS has been included in the listing for three consecutive years. This year the company ranked 13th among the 50 corporations listed.

Div2000.com polled more than 150,000 women- and minority-owned businesses for its third annual Internet ranking.
