2023 American Business Awards® Recognizes Efforts to Eliminate Paper Invoices and Checks While Achieving Workforce Inclusivity and Diversity
Billtrust, a B2B accounts receivable (AR) automation and digital payments market leader, has announced that it has been named the winner of a Silver Stevie® Award in the Environment, Social and Governance category in The 21st Annual American Business Awards®. Recipients in this category demonstrated their commitment to reducing pollution, CO2 output and waste, as well as achieving a diverse and inclusive workforce.
In recent years, Billtrust has taken significant steps in stakeholder engagement and has made investments in sustainability and diversity initiatives. It now supports over 2,600 customers in 36 countries, many of which use Billtrust’s solutions to reduce paper and emissions associated with inefficient billing and invoicing processes. The company’s eSolutions team exists to accelerate digital adoption and, in 2021, it hit a significant milestone by campaigning on behalf of its customers to eliminate 301 million paper invoices and 22 million paper checks from manufacture, distribution and disposal.
In 2022, Billtrust also introduced a sustainability award at its annual customer conference and created an environmental sales calculator for its sales teams to help educate customers on the impact of Billtrust products. The company strongly believes its commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB) is critical in fulfilling its vision to retain exceptional talent and lift up the communities in which it operates. The brand works to continually advance its DEIB efforts in a range of areas, including introducing a supplier diversity program and introducing seven Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). Finally, in 2022, Billtrust launched its year-round community impact program, Billtrust for Good, to donate $100,000 and volunteer 2,500+ hours to community partners worldwide.
“We are especially proud to receive the Silver Stevie Award in this category, as it recognizes our efforts as a global company to focus on both our culture and our climate,” said Sunil Rajasekar, Billtrust CEO.
