CP Environmental Group Named Top 100 Diversity-Owned Business in PA for 2006
Diversity-Owned Business Gains National Recognition
Pittsburgh, PA, January 25, 2007 --(PR.com)-- In recognition of the economic power of multicultural businesses, DiversityBusiness.com, the nations’ leading multicultural internet site, recently named CP Environmental Group, Inc. as one of the “Top 100 diversity-owned businesses in the state of Pennsylvania” (Div100).
The Div100 is the 7th annual listing of Pennsylvania’s top 100 diversity-owned businesses. Ranging in revenue size from $1,000,000 to over $100,000,000, the companies listed on the Div100 represent Pennsylvania’s top multicultural earners and challenge the long-held notion that a diversity-owned business is small or insignificant. Div100 members are sought after by major corporations wishing to increase spending with qualified diversity-owned companies.
On being notified of CPEG’s selection, Peggy Carpenter, President, said, “We are honored to have been selected as one of Pennsylvania’s Top 100 diversity-owned businesses. This recognition was only achieved through the hard work and dedication of the CPEG team to provide cost-effective and creative business solutions to our clients’ environmental challenges – achieving/exceeding our clients’ expectations is one of our basic operating principles.”
The Impact of Diversity Business
Affected by recent economic and demographic trends and changes, Fortune 1000 corporations throughout the country have recognized that buying products and services from diversity-owned companies positively impacts their business. Diversity-owned businesses contribute over $1.4 trillion in sales to the U.S. economy.
“Diversity businesses and consumers are a growing force in the U.S. economy, and a force to be reckoned with,” said Kenton Clarke, CEO of Computer Consulting Associates International, the company that built DiversityBusiness.com. "This is a whole business segment that can carry its own, that provides jobs, products and services, and generates wealth for their communities. These are the new leaders in American business.”
Gloria Bohan, CEO of Omega World Travel in Fairfax, Virginia commented, “This group represents the entrepreneurial spirit that drives our economy and even more. It offers insights into a vastness of cultures and an exchange of ideas that are so valuable in helping me to understand how to reach the needs of today's consumers.”
