PDC Corp sets the bar high with an exceptional 92.9 Impact Score, outperforming global averages to demonstrate high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability

ARLINGTON, TX (US), LEUVEN (BE) Jan. 17, 2024 – PDC Corp, a TenForce Company, today announced that it is now a Certified B Corporation™ (“B Corp”), solidifying its decades-long commitment to social and environmental responsibility. The rigorous 16-month certification process, conducted by the non-profit B Lab company (see: https://www.bcorporation.net/en-us/certification/) confirmed PDC’s steadfast commitment to excellence, accountability, and transparency throughout its mission-driven business.

Because B Corp certification is holistic, the process to achieve and maintain certification is comprehensive and rigorous. It assesses PDC’s environmental and social practices and policies across five key “pillars” —governance, workers, community, environment, and customers. PDC received an outstanding overall impact score of 92.9, which exceeds the score achieved by more than one-half of the companies that B Lab assessed.

PDC will be held to high standards of accountability through a recertification process, ensuring continuous accountability by updating its impact assessment and securing its continued standing as a Certified B Corporation.

Jan Van den Nieuwenhof, CEO of TenForce, highlighted the significance of PDC’s achievement. “When TenForce acquired PDC Corp we recognized that the organization was a leader among companies providing environmental, safety, and business process software and services to industry. One of the first vendors offering regulatory compliance software of any kind, PDC and its 35-year history of service to industry has set a high bar of excellence that challenges all businesses in its field.”

Jerry O’Brien, PDC President, echoed Jan Van den Nieuwenhof’s sentiments. “From the first time we learned about B Lab from a one of our major manufacturing clients we knew that the recognition it offered to companies meeting the “gold standard” of business excellence was the right fit for PDC Corp. We used a software platform we developed to support our client’s efforts to manage thousands of data points and files that B Lab examined.

In celebration of attaining B Corp status, PDC is offering special values on its B Corp certification software platform and consulting services to companies that are certified or interested in becoming certified. Organizations do not have to “go it alone.” With these offerings, organizations can accelerate and facilitate the certification or recertification process.
