Why Military Friendly®
& What Does It Mean?

Easiest. Answer. Ever. Because the Military Friendly® designation creates better outcomes for veterans. By setting a standard, then promoting it, we provide positive reinforcement for American organizations to invest in programs that improve the lives of veterans. That’s good for veterans, good for the organizations and good for America. Military Friendly® is the standard that measures an organization’s commitment, effort and success in creating sustainable and meaningful benefit for the military community. Now, let’s unpack that. Because every word of that definition was purposefully chosen.

Brands

The Military Friendly® Brands designation, one of four components of the Military Friendly® Companies ratings, measures a company’s social and material investment in support of the military and veteran community, including consumer supports and protections.

Program

A unique aspect of the Military Friendly® program is its extension across four pillars: veteran employment, military spouse employment, military consumer services and protections, and veteran-owned business supplier diversity programs.
