What Does it Mean to be Certified Women Owned?
- Getting Certified means Getting Visible so that buyers, wholesalers and consumers can easily identify brands that are diverse women suppliers. Many corporations rely on a variety of local and national certifying agencies to help them find diverse-owned businesses.
- A seal of certification is a formal guarantee to corporations that they are purchasing goods and/or services from a particular group of business owners.
- Certification is key. Many firms will not begin the relationship building process if you do not have current certification.
- Companies will search supplier diversity databases when searching for diverse suppliers.*
- Suppliers may submit products or services for consideration through company supplier diversity departments and/or online through a dedicated supplier diversity portal.
*Corporate Members of Women of the Vine & Spirits who become Women Owned Certified will be featured in the Women of the Vine & Spirits Women Owned & Certified Database.
