Square One Organic Spirits said it was certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise by the Women Presidents’ Educational Organization DC, a regional certifying organization of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council.
The certification means Square One is at least 51% female-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” in their supplier programs.
Allison Evanow, founder/CEO, said it was “the encouragement of some major company buyers that encouraged us to pursue this certification.
In another development, Square One launched a line of organic cocktail mixers. “As the market for craft cocktails and convenience grows, along with consumer desire for higher quality and more complex cocktail options, a line of cocktail mixers handcrafted with Square One’s respect for the ingredients was a natural extension for us,” Evanow said.
She said Square One Organic Cocktail Mixers “are the first to give consumers what they want – organic, high juice and lower sugar options in an easy-to-use cocktail mix and at a great price.”
