САН-РАФАЭЛЬ и КОНКОРД, Калифорния. Local electricity provider, MCE, is issuing its Отчет о разнообразии поставщиков за 2023 год, showcasing its $4.6 million investment in diverse businesses. That represents an almost 400% increase in spending with these organizations from 2021 to 2022.
“Small and diverse businesses are the backbone of our communities,” said Devin Murphy, MCE Board Director and Mayor of the City of Pinole. “MCE’s focus on reaching small and local businesses has been extremely successful. Last year, we contracted for almost $50 million with over 40 diverse, local, and small businesses.”
MCE’s supplier diversity outreach strategies include:
- Hosting annual workshops to help businesses become certified through the California Public Utilities Commission’s (CPUC) Supplier Clearinghouse,
- Engaging with diverse Chambers of Commerce and community-based organizations across its service area,
- Offering a portfolio of capacity building programs for small and local businesses,
- Encouraging submissions from diverse suppliers to MCE’s competitive solicitations, and
- Educating and supporting our existing vendors to get various certifications.
In 2023, MCE will deepen its commitment to creating more equitable communities by creating and distributing additional content in Spanish, launching a new equity-focused commercial energy efficiency program, and seeking partnerships made through the Department of Energy’s Office of Economic Inclusion and Diversity.
