Supplier Diversity – Launching LGBT-Owned Business Certification

Unlock the Potential as an LGBT Business Owner & Corporate Partner!

LGBT+ owned companies are routinely sought out by businesses who want to work with the LGBT business community.

As the exclusive, third-party LGBT certification body in the UK, OutBritain will verify that eligible businesses are majority-owned by LGBT+ individuals, and grant LGBT Business Enterprise® (LGBTBE ®) accreditation.

By partnering with the United States National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) and other national and regional LGBT+ Chambers of Commerce and networking groups, OutBritain is connecting the UK’s LGBT+ businesses to the world’s largest LGBT+ business network.

OutBritain is the exclusive, independent, certification body that verifies that eligible businesses are majority-owned by LGBT individuals in the UK.

Once verified, OutBritain grants Certified LGBT Business Enterprise® (Certified LGBTBE) designation to those businesses.

In turn, Certified LGBTBE® companies gain access to OutBritain’s corporate sponsors and members.

By forming lasting business relationships, based on a shared understanding of, and dedication to, equality and inclusion, we ensure the economic advancement of LGBT+ people and businesses everywhere.

OutBritain: Is UK’s  First LGBT+ Chamber’s of Commerce: Connecting, supporting and growing the UK LGBT+ business community, and uniting it with the rest of the world.

Achieving economic parity is a vital step in any equality movement. By bringing a greater focus to the value of diversity in procurement and supplier management in the UK, OutBritain is introducing a tried and trusted approach to the UK market – one that has already benefitted many LGBT+ people, LGBT+ owned businesses, and their allies, all over the world.
