CPO Catalyst event unites procurement leaders to envision strategic sourcing's future.
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.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, let’s prove that procurement & supply chain can be a force for good.
