For three decades, Colden Corporation has partnered with organizations to deliver practical, innovative health, safety, and environmental solutions. Founded in Philadelphia in 1996 by David de Lalla, Greg Richey, and Chris Wesley, who remain actively involved in the firm today, what began as a small venture has grown into a trusted independent consulting partner supporting U.S. and international clients. Our progress over the past 30 years has been a testament to the hard work of our talented team and the meaningful connections we’ve established with clients across industries and geographies. This anniversary is not just a celebration of our past, but a reaffirmation of our commitment to protecting people and enhancing workplaces for generations to come.
The name Colden carries a story of legacy rooted in New York’s Adirondack Mountains, with Mount Colden standing as a symbol of strength and resilience, qualities that have shaped Colden since its founding.
Our Pillars: Experience, Integrity, Service
The values of Experience, Integrity, and Service have shaped Colden’s identity for 30 years and continue to guide our decisions as an independent firm committed to responsive, high-touch service. These principles influence every partnership, project, and recommendation we make—ensuring we deliver on our promises and build enduring trust with those we serve.
Our philosophy is simple: effective health and safety programs must be practical, credible, and centered around people. That’s why every solution we deliver is tailored to the unique needs of each client. Our services range from comprehensive risk assessments and industrial hygiene evaluations to program development, audits, and workforce training. Grounded in deep expertise, we are driven by measurable results.
Embracing the Future
As we reflect on 30 years of accomplishments, we do so with heartfelt appreciation for the clients, partners, and employees who have made this journey possible. While we honor our history, our eyes are set firmly on the future, continuing to invest in our people, responsibly embracing new technologies, and supporting organizations as they navigate evolving workplace challenges and regulatory landscapes.
Thank you to the clients, partners, and employees who have been an essential part of Colden’s story. We look forward to many more years of advancing health, safety, and environmental excellence together.
