The problem we see is one where companies missing out on billions of dollars of untapped potential because they fail to put inclusive business practices into action.

We enable certified business reach over 100,000 prospective customers and jobseekers through our network of community partners.

2. The Problem
Mindsets towards excluded groups
must change

with us. Rather than thinking that something is
wrong with the environment. This mindset
is harmful and must be changed.
