Rivanna's Environmental Commitment

There's a reason why Rivanna Natural Designs is the leading U.S. provider of eco awards and planet-friendly plaques. 

We respect natural systems and accept responsibility for the effects of our actions on the environment. We strive to continually improve our understanding of environmental issues and minimize our footprint. We believe that fine awards are not fine if they harm the planet or people.

As a manufacturer, we are keenly aware that our materials and processes have environmental impacts. Our task is to minimize adverse impacts and, whenever possible, use restorative (as opposed to depletive) materials and methods of production. We have a unique advantage: since we design the majority of our products, we ensure that our awards and plaques are built according to our own environmental standard.

Whether you are a current customer or buying trophies for the first time, we hope that you will take a moment to learn more about our work and our dedication to making the most eco friendly awards and plaques in the world and for the world.
