WeSource - Diverse Suppliers
WeSource – Diversifying the supply chain venture presents a pioneering solution to the establishment of diverse purchasing in Israel. WeSource encourages corporations to integrate small and medium business that meet the social and business criteria of a diverse business as their suppliers. The guiding principles of the venture are to create opportunities and remove barriers among corporations by providing information and access to a database of certified diverse businesses, as well as encouraging a change of procurement practices. This venture seeks to create and promote opportunities for diverse businesses, that, due to their size and distance from the economic centers, were not properly exposed and therefore unknown to most of the corporations. In addition, WeSource addresses challenges, by training and granting businesses with a standard diverse certification, allowing them to gain a competitive advantage and greater exposure to supplier opportunities, leading to measurable increases in sales, expansion of viable social enterprises, while small and medium-size manufacturers grow to employ more workers.
Through empowering diverse businesses, WeSource focuses on closing gaps in gender disparities, encouraging women, minorities and underrepresented communities’ participation in the labor force, empowerment of Arab and Jewish small business owners, and promoting equality and coexistence between all sectors in the Israeli society.
