Vision

At CPACT, we believe that ‘’Diversity leads to innovation.” Our services aim to promote business development, which is mutually beneficial, cross-culturally diverse and growth-driven, which strives to help others rise so that we as a community may outshine even the stars.

  • In most trade organizations, diversity and women’s empowerment are not just “add-ons” but are woven into their work because they directly affect competitiveness, innovation, and inclusivity in trade.
  • CPACT advocate for inclusive trade policies that ensure women-owned businesses, minority entrepreneurs, and underrepresented groups have access to markets, financing, and trade opportunities.
  • CPACT push governments and partners to remove structural barriers (e.g., customs procedures, financing rules, digital access gaps) that disproportionately affect women-led enterprises.
  • CPACT promote greater representation of women in leadership positions—both within the organization itself and in the member companies it serves.
  • By ensuring women have seats at decision-making tables (e.g., trade negotiations, chambers of commerce boards), they influence the trade agenda more equitably.
  • Women-owned businesses are often given special networking platforms, trade missions, and supplier diversity programs to connect them with global buyers.
  • CPACT align with initiatives like UN Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs), SheTrades (ITC), or the World Trade Organization’s Inclusive Trade Action Group.
  • CPACT promotes women businesses by hosting events, campaigns, and awards; trade organizations foster a culture that celebrates diversity and showcases successful women entrepreneurs and leaders as role models.
  • CPACT actively combat stereotypes that limit women’s roles in trade-heavy sectors.
  • Diversity and women’s empowerment in CPACT are about access, opportunity, and influence. We ensure that underrepresented groups—especially women—benefit fairly from trade and economic growth.
