| From the Chesapeake Bay to the Lynnhaven River to the Atlantic Ocean and every waterway in between, Virginia Beach is rich in natural assets. Local businesses are fundamental to the vitality of our beautiful city and their actions have a lasting impact on what makes our city special. | Residents of Virginia Beach and tourists are being more intentional about where their money goes and how it is spent. With the many options available, consumers are seeking out businesses that reflect their values of sustainability, social awareness, and environmental responsibility. | By leading the way in restoring and protecting Virginia Beach’s waterways through responsible business decisions and supporting environmental stewardship efforts, businesses share the benefit of clean and accessible natural areas with the local communities. |
| Becoming a Pearl Business means being part of a growing network of environmentally conscious companies who understand that a thriving community and a clean river go hand in hand. It’s more than a title—it’s a commitment to a cleaner, healthier future for all.
