HYUNDAI NAMED BEST OF THE BEST BY U.S. VETERANS MAGAZINE

U.S. Veterans Magazine ranked Hyundai Motor America among the nation’s top veteran-friendly
companies. The results were announced via their 2013 Best of the Best Lists, which evaluates
employment, business and supplier opportunities for returning U.S. veterans. Hyundai Motor America
was the only automotive manufacturer to receive this honor.
In addition to being a company that provides employment opportunity for veterans, Hyundai also offers
the best automotive rebate program in the industry. Hyundai’s Military Rebate Program provides anyone
who has served a single day in any branch of the U.S. Military, including Reserve and National Guard
forces, with a $500 rebate towards the purchase or lease of a new Hyundai vehicle. The program similarly
applies to spouses of military personnel.
Last year, Hyundai Motor America paid more than $24 million in rebates to U.S. military and family
members, making Hyundai one of the most veteran-friendly car companies in America. This year, U.S.
military personnel and veterans account for a remarkable 1 in 10 Hyundai vehicle sales.
“The goal of our annual evaluation is not only to bring information and guidance to our readers, but also
to encourage active outreach and diversity policies among corporations and government agencies,” said
Mona Lisa Faris, president and publisher,U.S. Veterans Magazine. “Hyundai Motor America offers
veterans the opportunity to quickly and easily transition into civilian life by providing engaging and
valuable career opportunities.”
The 2013 Best of the Best Lists were compiled from a multitude of sources including market research,
independent research, diversity conference participation and survey responses. More than 250
companies and institutions participated in this year’s evaluation, resulting in lists of the nation’s top
veteran-friendly companies, top supplier diversity programs, top Veteran Business Owners (VBOs) and
Disabled Veteran Business Owners (DVBOs), top government and law enforcement agencies and top
veteran-friendly schools.
“Providing valuable employment opportunities to returning veterans remains one of our most
mutually-beneficial hiring strategies,” said Erwin Raphael, director, Engineering & Quality, Hyundai
Motor America. “Veterans possess the character, discipline and personal drive that we look for in our
employees. Making it a priority to provide veterans with valuable careers and rebates on new vehicles
is an opportunity for us to give back to those who have dedicated their lives to our country.”
