We’re thrilled to announce that intO has officially been certified as a Women-Owned Business Enterprise by WEConnect International, a global leader in certifying women-owned businesses. This significant milestone aligns perfectly with our core values of diversity, inclusion, and global equity, and it reinforces our commitment to creating meaningful change across the world.
This certification isn’t just a formal recognition; it symbolises our dedication to fostering a diverse and inclusive business environment. WEConnect International certifies women-owned businesses to ensure they meet the highest standards of excellence, promoting a powerful network of female entrepreneurs. With this certification, intO joins an influential group of businesses that are not only shaping industries but are also striving to build a more equitable future.
For us, being a women-owned business means championing leadership and empowerment, particularly in spaces where women remain underrepresented. It also opens new doors for collaboration and innovation, as we’re now part of a global community that prioritises gender equity and diversity at every level. This certification allows us to connect with like-minded organisations that value these principles as much as we do.
WEConnect International is the world’s leading NGO dedicated to connecting women-owned businesses to global opportunities. With a presence in over 100 countries, they are a driving force in promoting gender equity in the business world. Their mission is to support women entrepreneurs by offering them the visibility and networks needed to succeed in the global marketplace.
By certifying businesses like ours, WEConnect helps create a more balanced and equitable playing field. Their work is crucial in dismantling the barriers that women often face in business, empowering us to thrive and contribute to a more inclusive economy.
At intO, we’ve always been driven by more than just the bottom line. Our mission is to create a positive impact through global innovation, and central to that is promoting equity—whether in our team, our projects, or our partnerships. Being certified by WEConnect International enhances our ability to deliver on this mission by connecting us with businesses and procurement teams that share our passion for creating an inclusive future.
As we grow and expand our global reach, this certification will enable us to strengthen our business relationships and offer new opportunities for collaboration. We’re particularly proud of this recognition as it also highlights the leadership role that women play within our organisation—driving innovation and pushing boundaries.
To further advance our goals and foster new connections, intO’s Commercial Director, Chloe Amos-Edkins, will be attending the European Diversity & Inclusion Conference in Paris at the end of the month. Hosted at Disneyland Paris and organised by WEConnect International, the event will bring together businesses and thought leaders committed to diversity and inclusion. Chloe is excited to meet fellow WEConnect members and procurement teams, and this conference represents an incredible opportunity for intO to deepen our involvement in the global diversity movement.
If you’re attending the conference and would like to arrange a meeting with Chloe, you can connect with her via LinkedIn here.
Our certification as a women-owned business is a testament to our dedication to creating a more inclusive and equitable world. Whether through our work or our leadership, we’re committed to making a lasting impact on the global stage.
