"We look forward to supporting their objectives.” “Our business is founded on increasing diversity and inclusion, so it is a natural fit for us to extend these principles to our supply chain,” stated Jeff Wilson, CEO of Adaptability Canada. “Partnering with WBE Canada is an important part of our overall efforts to support diversity in the marketplace.” Adaptability Canada is also in the process of implementing a broader diversity supply program, which will extend to all of its business initiatives. “Business owners who have disabilities are not recognized as diverse groups,” concluded Wilson. “We are looking to change this in Canada.”
