VivoPower PLC (NASDAQ:VIVO, FRA:51J), a global developer of AI data center and powered land infrastructure, has been recertified as a Certified B Corporation by B Lab, extending its continuous certification status to 2028.
The company’s latest verified B Impact Score rose to 86.6, up from 83 at its 2021 recertification
VivoPower scored highest in the Workers and Environment pillars, at 26.4 and 25.3 respectively, and achieved the maximum score in the Mission Locked sub-pillar of Governance. VivoPower has held B Corp status since April 2018. B Lab also confirmed that Tembo e-LV B.V., VivoPower’s electric utility vehicle subsidiary, has qualified to use the B Corp logo on its website.
Tembo is preparing for a planned Nasdaq listing through a previously announced business combination with Cactus Acquisition Corp 1 Limited. ” Recertification reflects work done by the team at VivoPower and, more recently, at Tembo to enhance governance architecture beyond the operating layers and to reinforce our commitment to the B Corp triple bottom line,” said Kevin Chin, VivoPower’s CEO. “For a company in our position, building infrastructure that sovereign clients will rely on for decades, independent third-party-verified governance that goes beyond systems and processes is a baseline requirement.” B Corp certification requires a minimum score of 80 on the B Impact Assessment and legal embedding of stakeholder accountability in a company’s governing documents. The framework currently spans more than 10,800 certified companies across 102 countries and 163 industries. Originally founded in 2014 and listed on Nasdaq since 2016, VivoPower operates data center and powered land infrastructure across Norway, Finland, and the United Arab Emirates
