To minimize environmental impacts concerning our activities, products, and services EVANS Federal has developed an Environmental Management System (EMS) that uses ISO 14001 as a framework that allows us to: 

  • Comply with applicable legal and other requirements to which EVANS Federal subscribes that relate to its environmental aspects;
