Welcome to the Virginia Regional Environmental Management System

The Virginia Regional Environmental Management System (V-REMS) is sponsored by the Defense Supply Center Richmond. V-REMS is a partnership of federal, state, local, public, and private organizations that collaborate to address community and environmental issues. This innovative partnership strengthens community relationships and promotes environmental sustainability by reducing air, water, and waste emissions in the areas where its partners operate. Read more. V-REMS was originally sponsored by the Department of Defense and the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) in 2003 as a pilot program to develop an Environmental Management System (EMS)-based regional approach to environmental and community challenges.

V-REMS regularly hosts webinars, teleconferences, and events such as site tours on environmental topics with presentations by V-REMS members and subject matter experts.
