Mission

Our mission is to promote a Green Business Program for businesses in the New River Valley, including modified programs addressing industry specific green initiatives for the various businesses in the Valley.

Background

In the fall of 2008 Sustainable Blacksburg sponsored a community workshop entitled "Greening Your Business". From that workshop, staff of local businesses formed a committee to research and develop a local "green business development program".

In December 2008 two groups were formed - a small "working group" that would research and consolidate information, and a larger group that would discuss the information and recommendations provided by the working group and make appropriate decisions.

These groups are now known as "go green NRV". Serving on the working group are associates of local professional firms, retail and industrial businesses, and municipal employees.

To see a list of businesses in the New River Valley currently participating in the go green NRV program, please visit our 'Participating Business Page'.
