Shaping the future of procurement for women-owned businesses in Australia.
Women-Owned Enterprises Australia Supplier Network is the only platform of its kind in Australia, founded by Entrepreneurial & Small Business Women Australia (ESBWA) to bridge the gap between capable women-owned businesses and meaningful procurement opportunities.
-
The current state of procurement
Women are missing out. Only 1% of government contracts and spending by large businesses on suppliers globally go to women-owned businesses despite women owning one in three businesses worldwide.
-
The business case for diversifying
Businesses prioritising supplier diversity experience substantial advantages, including a 133% greater return on procurement investments. Women-founded companies also deliver twice the return on investment per dollar compared to those founded by men.
-
Contributing to women's economic security
We have the opportunity to ensure that women are given greater opportunities to achieve economic security through business ownership and entrepreneurship by reducing barriers to procurement.
