Energy Savings Concierge Service MyDomino Becomes a B Corp
Oakland, CA (PRWEB) December 05, 2016 -- Energy savings concierge service MyDomino announced today that it has been certified as a B Corporation™.
The prestigious designation is awarded to companies that use the power of business to solve social and environmental problems, as well as meeting high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.
“Receiving the B Corp certification reaffirms MyDomino’s mission of creating 1 billion actions toward our clean energy future,” said MyDomino CEO Stephen Torres. “We believe this is a significant milestone towards making a substantial, positive impact on the climate for people now and in the future. Not only are we helping people every day take actions, but we are also living it in the actions we take ourselves. Becoming a certified B Corp is great validation of our efforts.”
My Domino partners with innovative companies to enhance Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives by helping their employees take actions to lower their carbon footprint while saving money. Actions include switching to clean wind energy, going solar, upgrading to LED bulbs, and much more.
The company has partnered with over 20 nonprofits to bring its energy savings concierge service to over 4,000 people. MyDomino looks to expand its service to include businesses in 2017. The program helps companies recruit and retain the best talent as well as further their CSR initiatives. It also empowers small companies that don’t have CSR initiatives to distinguish themselves in a competitive market.
Thousands of people have already taken clean energy actions with help from MyDomino. As the company grows, the B Corp certification strengthens its commitment to providing value to customers in a sustainable way, and using business as a force for good.
“Being a B Corp really helps us focus on delivering the most long-term value to consumers and businesses,” said Torres. “And being a for-profit means we can be self-sustaining and invest back into our business to achieve growth. We can use our resources to help people take meaningful climate action. We can make positive changes happen now.”
MyDomino went through a rigorous process to become a Certified B Corp. B Lab, the nonprofit that certifies B Corps, conducted a comprehensive evaluation of MyDomino and determined that the company met the performance standards to qualify for certification. As part of the process, MyDomino answered more than 250 questions about its business practices and had those answers verified by B Lab.
The list of B Corps, which has grown to over 1880 companies in 50 countries, includes companies like Patagonia, Ben & Jerry’s, and Etsy. “B Corps are part of a global movement to make our economy work for all of us, and for our environment,” said Torres. “We’re proud to be part of that movement.”
