SHEowns
™
Certifying that
50+% of the people who own or co-own a company are women
The SHEowns mark is designed to recognize and highlight companies that are equally or majority owned by women.
Even though ~49% of all businesses in the United States are either majority owned or equally co-owned by women, those businesses only see ~4% of revenues and hire ~8% of employees. The good news is that by supporting those ~49% of businesses, we can increase those percentages and, it is estimated, increase the global GDP by approximately $12 trillion a year.
​
People are looking to contribute to that growth by supporting woman-owned businesses. Having that information at point of sale or wherever consumers interact with your brand is more important than ever. Getting Certified SHEowns allows companies to speak to belief-driven buyers in an easily recognizable and verified form - making it easy for people to identify and support businesses owned by women, and ultimately impact the global economy.
​
That is why we created the SHEowns mark
Did you know?
The SHE Mark is intentionally inclusive of gender equally co-owned businesses because we believe that men are our partners in the movement towards global economic gender equality.
