“More than 350,000 U.S. companies have a supplier diversity program so having this certification will create new opportunities for key2Bme,” said Nelson. “This opportunity will allow us to expand our reach in fulfilling our mission of spreading happiness, kindness and inspiration.”​

WBENC’s national standard of certification implemented by the Ohio River Valley Women’s Business Council is a meticulous process including an in-depth review of the business and site inspection. The certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by a woman or women.

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.
