Franklin Lakes-based global medical technology company BD (Becton, Dickinson and Co.) has been recognized by the Healthcare Industry Resilience Collaborative (HIRC) as the only supplier to receive HIRC’s inaugural Member Choice Awards across three categories.
BD was awarded for its transparency, resiliency, and partnership.
The awards recognize suppliers whose actions strengthen supply chain transparency, resilience, and the continuity of patient care.
Transparency Award: recognizes BD for sharing timely, usable data that enables two-way collaboration and earlier risk detection;
Resiliency Award: recognizes BD for repeatable, evidence-based operations and governance that protect product-level continuity during disruption;
Partnership Award: recognizes BD for forging durable, value-creating partnerships through collaboration, risk-sharing, and reliable execution under pressure.
Winners were selected by HIRC members based on real–world customer experience. HIRC is a provider-driven, nonprofit consortium focused on advancing patient-centric health care supply chain resiliency through collaboration, standards, and best practices. BD is an active HIRC council member and contributes to developing HIRC standards, badges, and guidelines.
BD has received the HIRC Transparency Badge for the last four consecutive years, and the HIRC Resiliency Badge in 2025.
Last month, Becton, Dickinson and Company made a $100,000 donation to the Rutgers School of Nursing Student Emergency Fund. The contribution aims to ensure that unexpected financial hurdles do not force future frontline health care workers to abandon their degrees.
