Driving Positive Change: PDI International Earns Bronze Level Social Value Accreditation

PDI International is proud to announce it has been awarded the Social Value Bronze Quality Mark®, in recognition of its commitment to creating, measuring, and independently reporting the positive impact it makes on people, communities, and the environment.

The Social Value Quality Mark® represents one of the UK’s most rigorously tested standards for values-led business. It celebrates organisations that can demonstrate meaningful, measurable contributions to social and environmental well-being.

Richard Dickins, Managing Director of Social Value Quality Mark CIC, said:

“Customers, investors and jobseekers increasingly place their loyalty with organisations who deliver clear social and environmental benefits. The Quality Mark separates, distinguishes and celebrates those businesses who are genuinely committed to making the world a fairer place. We are pleased that PDI International is joining the growing number of companies making this commitment.”

To achieve the Bronze Level accreditation, PDI International made a series of pledges aligned to key areas, including skills development, employee wellbeing, investment in local communities, charitable giving, and carbon reduction. These pledges are backed by a framework of transparent measurement and independent reporting, ensuring genuine accountability and impact.

Nina Smith, Director of Marketing & Sustainability at PDI International, said:

“This award reinforces our ongoing commitment to making a positive impact beyond our business operations. Whether through supporting our communities, nurturing our people, or reducing our environmental footprint, we aim to embed social value in how we operate at every level at PDI.”

The accreditation process was overseen by the awarding panel at Social Value Quality Mark CIC, an independent social enterprise that works to challenge rigour, celebrate high standards, and drive meaningful social change through business. The Bronze award is the first of four levels, representing the foundation of a values-led journey that can progress to Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
