About the PARO Women’s B2B Database
Diversity is important. Not just from a human rights’ standpoint, but economically as well. According to the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, “The diversity of our regions contributes greatly to the strength of Ontario’s overall economy.” That means advancing traditionally under-represented groups including women, particularly Indigenous women, who previously may have been overlooked in the supply chain.
The PARO Women’s B2B Database does just that by promoting women-owned businesses in Ontario by creating this centralized directory.
For companies and governmental agencies, it is a fast and easy way to find high-quality, qualified suppliers and vendors in Ontario. We review all applications to ensure to the fullest extent possible that this directory contains only validated businesses.
For women-owned businesses, the directory is another way to promote their products and services to companies working in their region. Adding your business to this listing will increase your exposure to potential customers and clients, and may increase your sales.
