We’re excited to announce that Broadleaf has officially received WEConnect International certification, marking an important step in our journey as a women-owned business and expanding our reach within a global network of companies committed to diversity and inclusion. 

WEConnect International is a leading non-profit that connects large corporate, multilateral, and government buyers with women-owned suppliers. Its certification is awarded only to businesses that are at least 51% women-owned, managed, and controlled. This achievement places Broadleaf among a global community of certified women-owned businesses, aligning us with organizations dedicated to sourcing from women-led enterprises. 

“This certification is a powerful recognition of Broadleaf’s dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion,” said Lynne Marie Finn, President and CEO of Broadleaf. “As a women-owned company, we are thrilled to join WEConnect International’s network and look forward to the new opportunities this brings to collaborate with like-minded organizations. Our commitment to fostering a more inclusive and globally connected business landscape has never been stronger.” 

Through WEConnect’s network, which spans over 135 countries and represents member buyers with an annual purchasing power of more than US$4 trillion, Broadleaf is poised to deepen its relationships with clients and partners who share our values. By joining this influential network, on top of our recognition as a women-owned business by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), a strategic partner to WEConnect, we’re taking a bold step forward in driving gender equity within our industry and supporting economic empowerment.
