At DPW, we believe that procurement has the power to change the world. That belief has driven everything we do – from how we design our events to how we build our community and partner with startups. Now, we’re proud to share a milestone that reinforces that commitment.
DPW is now a Certified B Corporation®, joining a global movement of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact, accountability, and transparency.
This isn’t just a badge. It’s a promise.
What’s a B Corp, anyway?
Certified B Corporations, or B Corps™, are companies verified by B Lab™ to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, governance, public transparency, and legal accountability. B Corps span industries –from consumer leaders like Danone, Rituals, and Unilever ANZ to procurement innovators like Precoro, all united by a commitment to people, planet, and transparency.
As a B Corp, we’re now legally committed to considering the impact of every decision on our team, community, environment, and partners. And we’ll be recertified every three years to ensure we continue to meet – and exceed – those standards.
Why We Did It
We didn’t pursue certification to be part of a trend. We did it because it aligns with our purpose: To accelerate innovation and impact in procurement and supply chain by acting as superconnectors – uniting bold thinkers to build a global movement of transformational ideas and action.
DPW aims to accelerate innovation and impact in digital procurement and supply chain by acting as superconnectors – uniting bold thinkers to build a global movement of transformational ideas and action.
Becoming a B Corp reflects how we’ve worked from day one:
-
We’ve opened our platform and ecosystem to early stage startups
-
We’ve prioritized our people – creating a culture that values well-being, inclusion, and purpose, with team members from 18 different nationalities!
-
We’ve championed underrepresented voices, from young talent to female leaders. At DPW New York 2025, we provided 50 free passes to young talent.
-
We’ve introduced impact metrics in our company goals, to measure emission, speaker diversity, and accessibility metrics.
This certification formalizes our values, and gives us a framework to keep improving.
What this means for the DPW Community

-
You’re partnering with an organization that puts people and planet at the heart of its mission.
-
You’re contributing to a global movement to redefine what business success looks like.
