The World Confederation of Businesses (WORLDCOB) is an American business organization that awards the annual Bizz Awards and other certifications. It is the awarding body of the Bizz Awards, founded in 2005 with an annual awards ceremony hosted in three different cities each year, one for Europe, one for Americas, and the one for the region of Asia, Middle East and Africa.[1]

Worldcob's Bizz Award has been criticized several times with the accusation that it is simply a vanity award.[2][3][4] The general accusations are that Worldcob randomly contacts many small and medium enterprises telling them that they've been nominated and that, for a fee the company will be given the Bizz Award.[5][6][7]

History

The company was founded on September 9, 2004, in the city of Houston, Texas by Jesus Moran under the name of MPBM. Co. Authorization was requested for the use of the name World Confederation of Businesses as the Trade name of MPBM Co.[8]

WORLDCOB has a governing body consisting of the chairman, vice chairman, and the board of directors, made up of a multi-disciplinary team of professionals of different nationalities, all with experience in the field of business consultancy and advisory. The main offices were set up in Houston, Texas and Lima, Peru.[9] Founded by organization president Jesus Moran.

In 2005 the company launched the Bizz Awards programme.[1]

WORLDCOB is a participant of the United Nations Global Compact since 2008.[10]

In 2019, the organization announced launching of Worldcob Trust Seal (WTS), a service that verifies the legal and operational existence of a business.[11]
