Certified Women's Business Enterprise
Not only have you elected to partner with a premier firm, but by initiating a relationship with Hazell & Associates/Career Partners, you are also demonstrating your commitment to supplier diversity.
Hazell & Associates/Career Partners is proud to inform our clients that we have successfully met all the requirements for the Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) Certification through WEConnect International offered by WEConnect Canada. WEConnect Canada delivers WEConnect International certification to Canadian women businesses that are at least 51% owned, managed and controlled by one or more women. WEConnect Canada assists women enterprises meet the growing corporate and public sector demand for diverse suppliers. WEConnect Canada actively works with organizations wanting to diversify their supplier base to better reflect their market, increase shareholder value and enhance competitive advantage.
Despite the surging growth of women entrepreneurs worldwide, the top 13 multinational corporations that purchase over US$1 billion each per year from diverse suppliers spend only 2.2% on women-owned businesses. By supporting WEConnect certified businesses, organizations can expand their global sourcing options with a more inclusive vendor network, search for historically underutilized companies that bring value, innovation and potential cost savings and deepen corporate social responsibility.
WEConnect Canada is a Canadian non-profit organization that is part of a global certification initiative opening doors to supply chains for women business enterprises and helping organizations tap into innovative vendors. It also provides opportunities for women entrepreneurs to participate in education, training, and mentoring programs that help them connect with procurement officers of top corporations and with other certified firms to enhance their bidding capacities on large contracts.
We would like to thank you for supporting a WBE certified firm. We know you will feel great about your choice as we provide more than one compelling reason to use us.
