Like many of our customers and supply chain partners, you're probably familiar with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The 17 SDGs are at the heart of The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, as adopted by all the United Nations Member States in 2015. In 2019, the SDGs have been front and center for Rivanna. In April, Rivanna was selected to join B Lab and anchor partner, United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), as a Beta Tester to test an early version of the SDG Platform, an impact management platform based on the B Impact Assessment.
This platform will help companies assess, compare, and improve their performance against the Sustainable Development Goals. We'll be testing the SDG platform in November 2019 and will keep you posted on our progress. This spring we also had the opportunity to design and manufacture recycled trophies for The Global SDG Awards, an international, private-sector sustainability competition based on the SDG framework.

We’ve gotten really into composting this year, so our Sustainability Coordinator wanted to share her experience composting at home, to show you it’s not as intimidating as you think.
Here’s her story: I graduated with a Master’s in Sustainability. I don’t tell you this to brag or to claim to be an expert on the subject, but instead to emphasize my interest in being eco-friendly. That being said, my spouse is a data guy who loves hiking and cares about the environment, but who doesn’t want to “feel like a hippie” (not that there’s anything wrong with that). Needless to say, he was skeptical when I said I wanted us to start composting, and wasn’t thrilled to have to remember yet another thing he should do differently. Even so, we gave it a go. After about a week or so, we noticed a few things: Real Companies are owned by Real People - Part 1. As a Certified B Corporation and a Virginia Benefit Corporation, we are committed to transparency and accountability in business.
To that end, we publish and maintain a statement of beneficial ownership on our company's Governance page, and we encourage all businesses to do the same. Who are beneficial owners? Beneficial owners are the real owners of a company, the actual people -- not the holding entities, anonymous shell companies, or phantom firms -- who own or control a company's stock.

At GreenBuild in Washington DC today, Rivanna was honored to win a 2015 FSC Leadership Award, highlighting the company's success in building markets for sustainable forest products and addressing climate change. Deforestation and forest degradation worldwide are a leading cause of carbon emissions. Recognizing this, the second annual FSC Leadership Awards celebrated organizations and people who have long used markets to protect forests, which not only store carbon but also protect water quality, provide wildlife habitat, and enhance the economies of forest-dependent communities. “The award winners demonstrate that we all have a great opportunity – and responsibility – to help protect forests,” said Corey Brinkema, president of the Forest Stewardship Council US.
“By building the market for FSC products, the award winners show we can conserve forests, even as we use forest products in our daily lives,” he added.
