Supplier Diversity Procurement
Program (SDPP) Certification
The Canadian Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (CGLCC) has developed
standardized procedures to assure consistency in review and certification
LGBT owned businesses.
Applicants may make inquiry and receive information and application forms
from the CGLCC. Applicant’s business must be physically located in Canada.
An application will only be ready for review by the Certification Committee
when it is completed, properly signed with required verification
documentation and accompanied by a non-refundable processing fee of $350.00.
In order to be certified by the CGLCC as a GLBT supplier, the applicant must
satisfy the following criteria:
- The applicant must be a
for-profit enterprise
- The applicant must
operate in Canada
- The applicant must be a
Canadian citizen
- The applicant's business
may be of any size
- The applicant must be
able to operate as a supplier of products or services to other
businesses; and
- The applicant's business
must be substantially owned and controlled by LGBT individuals
- For the purpose of
certification by the CGLCC; Ownership would mean that the business is at
least 51% owned by self identified and verified LGBT individuals. In the
case of publicly owned businesses, at least 51% of the company's shares
would have to be owned by one or more such individuals meeting the same
criteria. Furthermore, the management and daily operations of these
businesses must be controlled by LGBT individual/s.
