The One Percent Plus initiative is an acknowledgment of the economic gap between the utilization of Minority Business Enterprises and Non-Minority Business Enterprises and purposefully strives to drive intentional efforts to close the utilization gap. We believe strongly that minority business inclusion matters for our total economy.
Commitment to inclusion impacts our total economy — the creation of jobs, a stronger tax base, a more vibrant community. Numbers matter!
Together As One – We Can Be The Difference.
Vistra Corp., which recently hosted its 2024 Vistra Supply Chain Diversity Nexus Awards Recognition Luncheon is committed to the One Percent Plus initiative.
The past few years have brought a global pandemic, extreme weather events, unprecedented supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical challenges. Through these challenges, Vistra has both grown its business and remained committed to identifying, engaging, utilizing, and developing diverse and small suppliers. In fact, Vistra successfully increased its spend with Small Businesses by more than 24% and Diverse Businesses by 25.5% in 2023.

The most critical aspect of our One Percent Plus initiative collaboration is the impact we can make within our community. The success stories of Buying Entity Members and DFW MSDC certified Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) serve as the foundation for this positive direction undertaken by the Council.
We are pleased to feature Milton Quinn of Alpha and Omega Industries, who recently participated in the View From the Top Discussion with Minority Business Owners at the ACCESS 2024 Luncheon.
