The Mathes Group is proud to announce national certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) by the WBEC South, a regional certifying partner of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). WBENC Certification is a gold standard for women-owned business certification in the United States.
“In today’s world no matter what industry there is always the need to set yourself apart from the competition, what better way than to be woman-owned, something that once was seen as a disadvantage,” said Lauren Cheney, Co-Owner/President. “Being a WBENC-Certified WBE is an achievement that is going to impact our entire company and open opportunities to all our employees. I hope that by now being recognized as woman owned, I can serve as an inspiration for the generations coming up in our community and business footprint.”
The WBENC standard of certification implemented by the WBEC South is a meticulous process, including 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, which 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.
