B12 Government Solutions has had a long standing commitment to providing a safe and healthful workplace, protecting the environment and conserving energy and natural resources.
We established voluntary environmental goals to assist us with continuing to meet our commitment. We track our progress towards attaining our voluntary environmental goals and use that information to improve our programs.
Each year, in April, we will post our progress towards meeting our goals on this page.
