加州圣拉斐尔和康科德 — As MCE, California’s first community choice energy provider, makes progress on its mission to fight climate change, small, and diverse businesses are winning too.
MCE issued its 2024 年供应商多样性报告, highlighting a $44 million investment in diverse, small, and local businesses.
“When we advance efforts to confront climate change, our diverse local economy gets a boost too,” said Gabriel Quinto, MCE Board Vice Chair and City of El Cerrito Councilmember. “The clean energy transition creates opportunities to benefit small businesses, and we’re seeing that play out in our communities.”
Of the $44 million total, MCE invested over $3.7 million in diverse businesses, almost $600,000 in CPUC certified small businesses, and more than $40 million in nearly 80 local businesses.
“Our women-owned certification helps foster a culture of inclusion and drives success, growth and stronger partnerships for my business,” said Karen MacLean, Founder of Print2Assist, a Marin-based printing, promotional and communication company.
To recruit more diverse suppliers, MCE:
- Hosts annual workshops to educate businesses on the California Public Utility Commission’s (CPUC) Supplier Diversity Clearinghouse,
- Works with diverse Chambers of Commerce and community-based organizations,
- Encourages submissions from diverse suppliers to its competitive solicitations, and
- Supports existing eligible vendors in getting certified with the CPUC.
MCE has supported the CPUC Supplier Diversity Program since 2018.
