Rupalia RW Inc. Certified By the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council and Virginia’s Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity Team –
McLean, VA – 5/28/2024 — Rupalia RW Inc., a business specializing in advisory and consulting services in operational risk management and specializing in the ethics, compliance and governance industry, is proud to announce national certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise by the Women’s Business Enterprise Council Greater DMV, a regional certifying partner of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). WBENC Certification is the gold standard for women-owned business certification in the United States.
Additionally, within the same week, the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity granted Rupalia RW Inc. certification as a Small, Micro, Woman Owned, Minority Owned (SWaM) company.
“I am thrilled and honored to receive both the Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) certification from the WBENC and the SWaM certification from the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity. So much good news to celebrate in one week! At Rupalia RW Inc., we believe in supplier diversity and empowering women in business leads to stronger, more innovative, and more sustainable communities. We look forward to leveraging these certifications to expand our impact and continue delivering exceptional value to our clients," said President and Founder Rupal Sankalia.
The WBENC standard of certification implemented by the Women’s Business Enterprise Council Greater DMV is a meticulous process, including an in-depth review of the business and a site inspection. The certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by a woman or women, and that the business has appropriate structure and strategic business planning and implementation in place.
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, which in turn empowers women as leaders and brings about a more diverse, balanced and sustainable economy.
WBENC Certification combined with professional development and engagement in the WBENC network provides unsurpassed opportunities year-round, both virtually and in-person, for women-owned businesses to grow and expand their business and innovation through events, programming and connections with major corporations and other WBEs.
