Exponent Partners is proud to announce that it has achieved B (B for 'Benefit') Corporation certification. The B certification comes after a comprehensive evaluation of the company's environmental and social performance, as well as their accountability and transparency standards.

As the leading Salesforce.com implementation partner for nonprofits, Exponent Partners has deep expertise in the nonprofit sector and has helped over 170 nonprofits, B Corps, and social enterprises enhance their business operations.

Moreover, Exponent Partners' vision aligns directly with the B Corp ethos. Exponent Partners envisions a world where social change organizations maintain a powerful voice in the dialogue with commerce and government. The company seeks to equip and empower organizations that help educate our children, nurture our communities, protect our planet, and safeguard our human rights with the best possible tools, technology, and knowledge to help them make our world a better place. Says Adam Park, president and COO of Beyond 12, a national nonprofit organization that helps underserved students succeed in college, "In addition to their reputation, experience, and technical expertise, we selected Exponent Partners to build our alumni tracking and student engagement platforms because they shared our commitment to education reform. Working with a mission-based social venture played a significant role in designing and implementing a solution that is helping thousands of underserved students succeed in college."

The company is equally committed to creating a positive work experience for their employees. Since Exponent Partner’s inception in 2005, the company’s objective has been to a create a healthy, balanced, and rewarding work environment, while delivering high-value, successful solutions to nonprofits. "Working for a B Corporation supports the way I want to live and work. I can walk my daughter to school, while still being able to develop my professional skills and work with mission-driven organizations who are changing the world," said Kathy Dunne. Dunne is Manager of Implementation Services and Principal Consultant, and is one of the company’s first employees.

As a social venture dedicated to strengthening the nonprofit sector, Exponent Partners is proud to join a growing community of 450 +B Corps in over 50 industries. Exponent Partners is incorporated in California, which recently became the biggest state, and the sixth overall, to pass Benefit Corporation legislation. This legislation legally recognizes B Corps as corporations that are required to pursue a positive impact on society and the environment. Rem Hoffmann, CEO of Exponent Partners says “The benefit corporation movement is fantastically exciting for me. We are encoding social entrepreneurs’ commitment to positive social impact in the DNA of our companies. This represents a fundamental change to the basic rules of business, and I expect it will have far-reaching impact in the years to come.”
