DG+Design is now a Certified B Corporation™

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – July 12, 2023 – DG+Design (or simply “DG+”), is proud to announce that, as of June 2023, it is a Certified B Corporation™ (B Corp). DG+ is a full-service marketing, creative, and market research agency dedicated to serving sustainable brands and businesses that support the clean energy economy. 

Becoming a B Corp has been a long-standing goal of DG+ CEO and Founder, David Ganske. Prior to formally launching DG+ in 2020, Ganske spent over a decade working in high-impact marketing leadership and energy consulting roles for innovative businesses, nonprofits, and international institutions. He founded DG+ after experiencing the industry’s void for high quality creative and marketing support that small- and medium-sized businesses can afford. 

Ganske’s vision for DG+Design naturally aligns with B Lab’s ideals of People Using Business as a Force for Good®. Yet earning B Corp certification was a challenge, and one Ganske was happy to accept: “Through the application process, I learned the B Lab Standards are even more rigorous than I realized – and that's a very good thing. It gave us a roadmap to how to improve the way our company operates and to have an even greater positive impact.”

From the outset, Ganske committed to only serving clients who utilize clear, actionable, and concrete strategies to improve the climate. DG+ remains uncompromising on this matter to this day, which is reflected in its high ranking in the “Support for Underserved/Purpose Driven Enterprises” category of the Customers pillar of the B Impact Assessment.

However, as a young company, DG+ had room to improve in other areas. Through the B Corp certification process, Ganske realized that he had an opportunity to make a direct difference in the lives and well-being of his employees. The company now offers its full-time employees high-quality benefits, including insurance options, 401(k) employer match, annual professional development stipends, Carbon Neutral Club membership, and more. These initiatives helped bring DG+ across the finish line of becoming a Certified B Corporation, but the plan doesn’t stop there.

Ganske continued: “There are many ways we can continue to improve as a company, and I’m dedicated to continuing this important journey."

DG+ works with a wide range of clients focused on various elements of cleantech, from electric vehicles to green hydrogen to renewable project financing software and beyond. The throughline that connects each of them is a genuine commitment to doing right by people and the planet. Some of the company’s clients are even Certified B Corporations themselves, such as Pivot Energy and Neighborhood Sun.  

Melanie Kelly, Vice President of Marketing at Pivot Energy, stated: “I’ve worked closely with DG+ for several years and I was thrilled to learn that they joined the B Corp community. I can personally attest to the value the Certification brings employees and clients, and I am pleased that the DG+ team will get to enjoy those benefits as well. This also reinforces my belief that Pivot Energy and DG+ are aligned in mission and vision, and that partnering with like-minded organizations is critical to making a truly positive impact.”

In 2023, DG+ has expanded to represent a wide array of clients across cleantech and climate tech. From electric vehicles to green hydrogen and utility software, DG+ is at the cutting edge of innovative technology and business models that are pushing the industry forward.

Ganske is committed to continuing along this trajectory: “I'm thrilled that we haven't compromised – we have not and will not work with somebody who's harming the planet.”
