Pluie Certified By the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – 6/1/2022 – Pluie, the first and only self-sanitizing diaper changing tables for public restrooms,  is proud to announce national certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). WBENC is the nation’s largest third party certifier of businesses owned and operated by women in the US.

“As the founder of Pluie, I am proud to build a business that is owned and operated by women,” says Pluie founder and CEO Addie Gundry. “We are a business that speaks to health and safety and as we grow Pluie we remain passionate about supporting other female founders.”

The WBENC standard of certification implemented by the Midwest Women’s Business Council Development Center is a meticulous process including an in-depth review of the business and site inspection. The certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by a woman or women.

By including women-owned businesses among their suppliers, corporations and government agencies demonstrate their commitment to fostering diversity and the continued development of their supplier diversity programs.
