As a Certified B Corp, AMS is thoroughly committed to the environment. Our company culture promotes “thinking green” in our day-to-day lives, and we support local initiatives to help clean environmentally sensitive areas.

The Green Team at AMS reviewed our processes in detail. In addition to replacing traditional cleaning supplies with earth-friendly bulk products featuring refillable dispensers, we eliminate paper usage wherever possible as we move toward electronic and hand-held technologies.
