About Primarium

The Latin word Prīmārium refers to things that are of the highest rank, order, and importance. Every organization and business has a unique mission or purpose and every project begins with a mission statement. These missions and purposes are of primary importance to your organization; however, we live in a complex world where ideas, missions, and projects are often de-railed and stalled because of environmental policy, management, and compliance issues that are not your primary focus. We can assist you with these issues so that you can focus on what you do best. That is our primary focus. Maybe you want to re-define your mission and strategic planning so that sustainability is a fundamental aspect of how you operate. We can help with that process too. In serving you and in all that we do, we believe that our chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever … that is the ultimate meaning of “Primarium” for us all.
