DEIB & CSR

Apidel has been certified as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) by the Chicago Minority Supplier Development Council (CMSDC), which is affiliated with the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC). Additionally, Apidel is certified as a Women Business Enterprise (WBE) by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC).

As a woman-owned minority organization and a global citizen, Apidel places a strong emphasis on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging, which is reflected in our corporate family. We believe that d DEI&B extends beyond race and ethnicity and encompasses various factors such as religion, sexual orientation, education, ethnicity, social background, ability/disability, and geographical origin.

Apidel has adopted the DEI&B Pledge, which emphasizes creating a workplace that provides equal access to information, development, and opportunities for all employees. We strive to adopt diversity as an inherent ideology that defines how we operate and envision our future.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging are a business necessity for us, as we believe that our diverse workforce produces better business results, and showcases a greater range of perspectives, creativity, and innovation. We incorporate diversity at all levels within our organization, involving everyone when designing the program, promoting employee development, embracing diversity in all forms, and inculcating mutual respect.

We practice socially responsible business to enhance our reputation, enable conflict resolution, conduct fair selection, and provide orientation and training to sensitize all employees to embrace diversity. At Apidel, we reinforce our differences and make diversity a core value that drives our success.
