Women Business Owners Go Green and Global

Posted April 12th, 2008 by Susan Gunelius in Female Entrepreneurs, Statistics & Facts, Women Business Owners

A survey of 1,200 women business owners conducted by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) discovered three interesting trends about female business owners. According to a post on WomenEntrepreneur.com by Eva Gumpel, women business owners are going green, going global and giving back to their communities (dubbed the 3 ‘G’s by Eva).

The survey found that:

25% of women business owners are taking their businesses to international markets.
71% of women business owners are actively making their companies greener (by changing their products or their company policies).
53% of women business owners are giving 1%-5% of their profits to philanthropic causes.

Way to go ladies!

This shows just why it is so important the nurture and encourage and empower women business owners, not only do they produce outcomes good for the economy, they produce outcomes good for the greater good of the world.
