Press Release: DMD Recognized as a Certified B Corp.

TEMPE, ARIZ. SEPTEMBER 24, 2020

DMD Systems Recovery Inc. (DMD) is officially B Corp certified. B Labs certified DMD based upon the results from the rigorous Impact Assessment process. DMD joins companies like Unilever, Danone, Athleta, and Patagonia.

Certified B Corps are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. B Corps are accelerating a global culture shift to redefine success in business and build a more inclusive and sustainable economy.

DMD was founded on the principle of reducing harm to our environment through responsible handling of IT assets for reuse or end of useful life. While minimizing environmental impact we have concurrently focused on providing an inclusive work environment and supporting our local community. Validating this emphasis on sustainability and social support through the formal B Corp process was a natural progression.

In response to this achievement, Aaron Zeper, CEO of DMD Systems said “I am immensely proud to be part of this company. Success is not strictly revenue or standard MBA metrics. Success for DMD means we support our community, our environment, and especially our people. There are ways to be purposeful, responsible, and successful.”

Andy Fyfe, Manager, Business Development for B Lab U.S. & Canada looks towards the future, saying “Certified B Corporations are committed to improving the social and environmental challenges faced by the world and creating more high-quality jobs with dignity and purpose. We are pleased that DMD has formalized the commitments from which they had been operating and we welcome them as one of our newest community members."

DMD Systems looks forward to socially responsible growth while working alongside fellow B. Corps and encourages other organizations to join this commitment to balance profit and purpose.
