In a significant milestone for the energy sector, Endless Energy is proud to announce that it has achieved LGBT Business Enterprise (LGBTBE) certification from the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) and has also been certified by the Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office. These prestigious certifications mark a momentous achievement for the company and highlight its commitment to diversity, inclusion, and excellence in the home services industry.
What Do These Certifications Mean?
LGBTBE Certification: The LGBT Business Enterprise (LGBTBE) certification from the NGLCC is a recognition that an enterprise is at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by individuals who identify as LGBTQ+. This certification not only acknowledges the business’s commitment to fostering diversity but also opens doors to new opportunities and partnerships within a network dedicated to supporting LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs.
Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Certification: The Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office (SDO) certification is a state-level designation that recognizes businesses for their diverse ownership and their role in contributing to a more inclusive economy. The certification helps ensure that diverse suppliers have equitable access to government contracts and procurement opportunities, promoting a fair and competitive marketplace.
Endless Energy’s Commitment to Diversity
At Endless Energy, diversity and inclusion are more than just values—they are integral to our business strategy and culture. Achieving these certifications reinforces our dedication to creating a workplace where everyone feels valued and empowered. Our commitment is reflected in our diverse team, our inclusive practices, and our efforts to engage with communities and organizations that promote equality. Endless Energy is also a proud member of the Massachusetts LGBT Chamber of Commerce.
Impact on the Home Services Sector
The heating & cooling sector, like many industries, is evolving to embrace more inclusive practices. Endless Energy’s LGBTBE and Massachusetts Supplier Diversity certifications are not just accolades but also steps towards leading by example. By becoming certified, Endless Energy demonstrates that a diverse and inclusive business approach can drive innovation, foster creativity, and build stronger relationships with customers, both commercial and residential, and partners.
Opportunities for Collaboration
The certifications open new avenues for collaboration and growth. As a certified LGBTBE, Endless Energy can now access a wide network of businesses and organizations that prioritize LGBTQ+ inclusion. Similarly, being recognized by the Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office provides opportunities to engage with state government contracts and HVAC projects, expanding our reach and impact.
