Welcome to the Vermont Business Environmental Partnership
The Vermont Business Environmental Partnership (VBEP) is a FREE, voluntary, environmental assistance and business recognition program offered by the Environmental Assistance Office of the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation and the Vermont Small Business Development Center. The goals of the Partnership are to promote improved environmental and economic performance and to promote public recognition of environmental excellence.
Businesses and citizens in the Green Mountain State have a reputation for being environmentally motivated. Both are often in-tune with the State's pervasive environmental ethic. Becoming a member of the VBEP is an excellent way to communicate that your organization shares this environmental ethic and backs it up in action and deed.
The VBEP recognizes businesses as Environmental Partners when they achieve a set of eight environmental standards. Once Environmental Partner status is attained, Partners can satisfy additional, more rigorous standards to achieve status as an Environmental Leader. Leader designation reflects a higher degree of commitment to pollution prevention, regulatory compliance, and exemplary environmental management practices. Vermont businesses joining the Partnership at either level go beyond compliance with existing environmental regulations using pollution prevention strategies and implementation of best management practices.
If your business or organization is "Green" and you would like to be recognized for your accomplishments, you should consider joining the Vermont Business Environmental Partnership.
If you would like to "Green Up" your operations, the Vermont Business Environmental Partnership can help.
Please take a few minutes to review the information on this website, and then contact us if you are interested in becoming the newest Business Environmental Partner.
