Here Is Black Enterprise's 40 BEST Companies For Diversity. Published in the July 2011 issue of their magazine, BE sent surveys to 1000 publicly traded companies, along with 100 leading global companies with strong US operations. Target audience included African Americans and other ethnic minorities as designated by the US Census Bureau.  Other groups, including women, gays/lesbians/bisexuals/transgender employees, and disabled individuals were also included  in the list compilation.  A survey instrument used to create the list measured companies against four key categories:

Employee Base
