The World Bank Group (WBG) Corporate Procurement unit held an engaging virtual presentation to help women- and minority-owned businesses in North America and Europe learn how to do business with the WBG, what we purchase, and what we are doing to include women-owned and minority-owned businesses in our own supply chain.
The event highlighted the role the WBG plays as an agent of change towards gender equality and women’s economic empowerment.
Participants heard from women-owned and minority-owned businesses that currently work with the WBG as they share their insight and experience with Corporate Procurement practices and procedures. They also heard details from WBG staff involved in procurements on what they buy, how they identify vendors, and what some needs may be.
The event recording and presentation are now available to view. A transcript of the questions and answers forum is also available.
