Highlighting Black-Owned Businesses on AppExchange
Focusing on diversity and inclusion isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing — empowering each of us to innovate, build deeper connections with customers, and to become better businesses overall. Working together with our partners, we strive to create an ecosystem that reflects the diverse communities where we work and live. At Salesforce, Equality is one of our core values and we believe that businesses can be powerful platforms for social change. This value extends to our partner ecosystem, a critical part of our success and innovation. We want to empower our thousands of partners to drive diversity, equity and inclusion through their business practices as well, creating exponential impact.
We’ve also heard from our customers that they want and expect to make purchasing decisions based on their values, and to provide economic power to underrepresented groups. So today, we’re proud to introduce pages on the AppExchange to honor and promote diverse partners in the Salesforce ecosystem. The initial page will be dedicated to North American Black-owned businesses to help amplify their voices and enable our customers to invest in their apps and expertise.
We strive to not only empower the Black-owned businesses on AppExchange, but encourage others to join the marketplace and ultimately drive greater diversity in the ecosystem and more equitable business practices overall.
While there is more work to be done, we hope the Black-owned businesses page will give customers the ability to invest in underrepresented communities, and support racial equality and justice. Here’s a closer look at some of these Black-owned businesses.
