Valuing and creating diversity among our subcontractors, suppliers, and consultants is driven by two key business needs: meeting our responsibility to give back to the community and complying with federal, state, and local laws.
Welsbach L.I. is committed to diversity business practices that ensure minority, women, and disadvantaged business enterprises (M/W/DBE) participate in an open, fair, and inclusive environment. We believe that expanding our qualified M/W/DBE database and sharing best practices not only makes good business sense but is also the right way to build stronger business communities.
It is the policy of Welsbach L.I., through its M/W/DBE program, to increase business opportunities for certified minority businesses. Our commitment is to maximize certified minority business participation through the development of mutually beneficial business relationships with these firms. This policy guides sourcing activities throughout the entire organization.
We support and encourage companywide participation in seeking out these businesses and taking the steps necessary to assure that they have a fair opportunity to participate in available business. The use of M/W/DBE enterprises must be a function of our normal policy and procedures, just as equal employment opportunity must be an integral part of normal personnel policy and procedures.
To help us achieve our primary goal of increasing the diversity of our project partners, we implement a comprehensive M/W/DBE program that helps enable us to regularly monitor and report on our performance relative to this goal, as well as assists our teams in identifying qualified M/W/DBE candidates.
