With all the dynamism in this industry and with a growing, new company, how can we stay ahead and ensure we’re carrying only the best products and carrying on only the best practices? You can’t be all knowing of all things at all times, but you can embed in your corporate culture a value system that, when embraced, permeates all decision-making processes and operational motives. We’ve all heard about “triple bottom line” as it relates to green building, a concept that incorporates financial success with environmental responsibility and social equity. Those are the three pillars upon which vivo was erected. For vivo, that’s what we mean by “Building Integrity, Accountability, Affordability”. For vivo, affordable housing and “sustainnovative” design and technologies are our passions and form the basis for evaluating the success of vivo and its partners. Our company and the environment in which it operates are ever-changing. As new products and technologies emerge, we will continue to update our product line and bring them to market. As scientific research evolves and evidentiary findings are disclosed we will reevaluate our current products and processes for their continued alignment with our values.
