In October 2023, Philadelphia Gas Works (PGW) launched our inaugural PGW Diverse Business Development Program (DBDP): Fostering Diverse Enterprises and Promoting Economic Expansion, a nine-month educational approach to help diverse and local suppliers prepare for and navigate the procurement process and potential contracting opportunities in the natural gas industry.
We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of our inaugural Diverse Business Development Program (DBDP)! Over the past 9 months, we have had the privilege of working with 7 incredible-diverse companies, each bringing unique perspectives and innovative solutions to the table.
This program has been a journey of growth, learning, and collaboration. We are incredibly proud of the progress and achievements made by these companies, and we look forward to seeing their continued success with PGW and in the utility industry.
A huge thank you to everyone involved – PGW’s Procurement and Supplier Diversity and Operations teams, external guest speakers, prime contractor mentors, trainers, and the dedicated teams from each participating company.
Our inaugural Cohort, consisted of the following MBE and WBE owned businesses:
Alexander Perry Inc.
Cameron Associates 8, LLC
Carr & Duff, LLC
Cedotal Construction
Empower Construction LLC
G & B Construction Company
LaPutt Enterprise LLC
Your hard work and commitment have made this program a resounding success.
Here's to celebrating diversity, mentorship, fostering innovation, and building a brighter future together in Supplier Diversity! 🌟
We look forward to hosting our next cohort.
