As part of our commitment to enhancing the economic and environmental well-being of our region, the PMVB embraces the Green movement. Our actions include: 


 -Creating a PMVB Green Team. The Team has reviewed our own in-house best practices with an increased focus on continuous improvement in areas of recycling, cleaning, lighting, supplies and interior design. Areas which we are actively taking green steps are found here. Our Mission Statement is: 

The PMVB Green Team is committed to promoting environmental awareness through education; encouraging a sense of responsibility in staff and engaging in best practices to protect the environment and reduce our carbon footprint. We are committed to environmental improvements within both our business and our lives. We will strive to continue to monitor areas of our operations to find ways to minimize our impact on the earth.
