The proposed reconsideration of this program would also prevent public access to this important information.

If approved, this would eliminate requirements for measuring & reporting carbon emissions for the majority of U.S. industries, including fossil fuel producers & refiners. The GHGRP is an important source of data collection & important tool used to cut pollution, minimize wasted energy, & save money.

They’re also “greenhushing,” either by publicly supporting climate action while simultaneously lobbying against it, or by actively reducing their public climate commitments despite internal progress.

Many large corporations are telling half-truths about their climate impact by overhyping future benefits and downplaying or hiding their ties to organizations blocking climate action.
