Cameron-Cole has become a Founding Reporter of The Climate Registry by being among the first to join. The Climate Registry is a nonprofit organization established to measure and publicly report greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in a common, accurate and transparent manner consistent across industry sectors and borders. 
 
"Cameron-Cole has demonstrated exemplary environmental leadership by courageously stepping forward to support The Climate Registry in its preliminary stages.  We are deeply grateful for their integral support in helping to address the challenge of climate change,” said Gina McCarthy, Chair of The Climate Registry.

Cameron-Cole is committed to taking a sustainable approach in its own operations. "As a Founding Reporter, Cameron-Cole will be one of the first organizations to participate in a program that has significant support from states, provinces, tribes and regional initiatives.  The work conducted under this program will no doubt help to shape future mandatory GHG reporting programs across North America.  We are pleased to be a part of this leading effort," explained Connie Sasala, Senior Vice President of Cameron-Cole's Strategic Services Practice. 

Thirty-nine U.S. states, five Canadian provinces, three Native American tribes, two Mexican states and the District of Columbia are the founders of the organization. Cameron-Cole was one of 54 corporations, state and local governments and other organizations that achieved Founding Reporter status by being the first to join The Climate Registry.  Cameron-Cole joined in December 2007.

The Climate Registry was incorporated March 2007 in Washington, D.C.  The Climate Registry provides accurate and transparent measurement of GHG emissions and ensures consistency of measurement metrics across industry sectors and borders. The Climate Registry accounting infrastructure supports both voluntary and regulatory programs.  For more information please visit, www.theclimateregistry.org.
