The company has exceeded the $1 billion benchmark every year since.
"The only way to compete and succeed in a global marketplace is to incorporate diversity into our entire business, from employees to suppliers to contractors," said Charles Harvey, vice president of diversity and public affairs. "The supplier and workforce programs John supports ensure global leadership as we implement business strategies and serve customers."
