CVSan has been certified as a California Green Business since 2004 and was recertified on December 1, 2021. In our practices, we continuously seek solutions to reduce waste and protect the environment. We have an Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Policy, meaning we take care to purchase products that minimize environmental impacts, toxics, pollution, and hazards.
