DMD Systems Recovery, LLC. (DMD), a Reuse First ITAD services provider, proudly announces that after a thorough reassessment by B Lab™, DMD’s B Impact Assessment™ jumped over 20 points, achieving a total score of 103. This achievement solidifies DMD’s status as a certified B Corp for the 4th year and underscores DMD’s commitment to sustainability in the IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) industry.

DMD provides certified and compliant ITAD services, resulting in a governed solution that combats the growing global e-waste crisis. DMD is the first and only ITAD to adopt a ‘reuse-first’ policy that prioritizes complete IT asset sustainability, with recycling only as a last resort. Additionally, DMD operates internally through a sustainable lens, publishing an annual impact report to share all progress and outcomes set forth publicly and transparently.

B Lab awards a Certified B Corporation™ to businesses that meet rigorous social and environmental performance standards, accountability, and transparency to balance profit and purpose. To be certified, a company must achieve a score of at least 80 points in the B Impact Assessment, which measures a company’s social and environmental impact across several domains, including its effect on workers, community, environment, and customers.

"Our journey to not only attain but exceed our B Corp certification score reflects our core belief that businesses can and should operate for the greater good," said Aaron Zeper, CEO of DMD. This achievement is a direct outcome of our team's unwavering dedication to our reuse-first business model and our collective efforts to foster a more sustainable and equitable world. We are immensely proud of this milestone and the positive impact we continue to make."
