DBE Participation

We recognize the importance of fostering an inclusive business environment. Our DBE Policy is integral to our operations, promoting the engagement and success of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in the construction industry.

• Direct engagement. We actively invite DBE firms to participate in our bidding process. This engagement starts with direct communication, where we provide invitations to bid and address any inquiries to generate interest. By promoting open dialogue, we aim to create a collaborative atmosphere that encourages DBE firms to partner with us.
• Digital outreach. To further facilitate participation, we utilize the online website for the State of Illinois, posting our requests for participation electronically. This platform enables DBE firms to access current projects and relevant work categories, ensuring they are well-informed about opportunities to quote.
• Building lasting relationships. Blackhawk Roofing is committed to fostering enduring partnerships with DBE firms. Over the years, we have developed strong relationships that enhance our projects and contribute to the growth and sustainability of these businesses.

• Comprehensive non-discrimination policy. Our commitment extends to all aspects of employment, including hiring, promotions, compensation, and training. We strive for a workplace where individuals are valued for their contributions, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other status protected by law.
• Proactive affirmative action. In addition to our non-discrimination policy, Blackhawk Roofing actively implements affirmative action strategies to enhance employment opportunities for under-represented groups. Our goal is to create a diverse and inclusive work environment that recognizes and celebrates the unique perspectives of all employees.
