Blue Wave is excited to announce that in line with our commitment to building diverse and local supplier capabilities, we now provide digital badges that recognize the suppliers that graduate from the Blue Wave Supplier Development Program and highlight their level achievement, such as Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Graduate. The first three types of digital badges correspond to 100%, 90%, and 80% compliance across the seven pillars of expertise, while the Graduate level illustrates significant progress in the compliance journey. All the Blue Wave digital badges are verifiable online in real-time and contain metadata that describes the qualifications achieved and the process required to earn them. All the badges could be used with email signatures and in social media sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter.

API represents all the segments of America’s natural gas and oil industry with nearly 600 members that produce, process, and distribute the majority of the nation’s energy.

Blue Wave and the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC) signed a multiyear agreement to seal their partnership with the goal of making the Blue Wave Supplier Development Program accessible to the 260 affiliated regional Hispanic Chambers across the United States. Blue Wave and the USHCC will be working together to help Hispanic Owned Businesses grow and get ready to do business with Fortune 500 Corporations. Our strong partnership is based on shared passions and missions and the common understanding that supplier diversity does not only fulfill corporate ESG goals, but it also increases corporate competitiveness by accessing a larger base of diverse, qualified, innovative, and highly-motivated minority-owned businesses. Supplier Diversity is simply smart business!
