RisEquity, Inc. Certified By the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council
RisEquity, Inc., a company specializing in advancing companies' human capital and culture through comprehensive analysis by delivering DEIB solutions for sustainable growth, is proud to announce national certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise by the Women's Business Enterprise Council-Pacific (WBEC-Pacific), a regional certifying partner of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). WBENC Certification is the gold standard for women-owned business certification in the United States.
"As a company founded and owned by women, RISEQUITY views our WBENC certification as more than just a stamp; it's a longstanding, recognized symbol that represents the advancement of equitable business opportunities for women from diverse backgrounds," says Kim Steppe, CEO of RISEQUITY. "Our unique data-driven assessment model and professional services align closely with the mission to advance corporate social responsibility and foster more inclusive, diverse, equitable, and innovative workplaces and marketplaces, ultimately leading to positive impacts on the bottom line."
The WBENC standard of certification implemented by the WBEC-Pacific is a meticulous process that includes an in-depth review of the business and a site inspection. The certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by a woman or women, and that the business has appropriate structure and strategic business planning and implementation in place.
By including women-owned businesses among their suppliers, corporations and government agencies demonstrate their commitment to fostering diversity and the continued development of their supplier diversity programs. This, in turn, empowers women as leaders and brings about a more diverse, balanced, and sustainable economy.
WBENC Certification combined with professional development and engagement in the WBENC network provides unsurpassed opportunities year-round, both virtually and in-person, for women-owned businesses to grow and expand their business and innovation through events, programming and connections with major corporations and other WBEs.
