BPS, Armstrong Honored by Climate Registry

Chicago, IL, June 25, 2010--Bentley Prince Street and Armstrong World Industries were among 14 companies honored this week by the Climate Registry for committing to reduce their carbon footprints by up to 20% as part of the Climate Registered reduction program.

"When it comes to environmental programs, Climate Registered leads the pack because it requires corporations to measure their entire North American carbon footprint, verify the findings with an independent third party, and publicly report the results," said Doug Scott, Chairman of The Climate Registry and Commissioner of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.

"It is comprehensive and transparent and there is no other program out there as rigorous as the Climate Registered program."

To help balance out the climate impact of the event honoring Climate Registered members, The Climate Registry purchased and retired third-party verified carbon offsets sourced through 3Degrees. These offsets represent real, quantifiable and permanent GHG emission reductions equivalent to 30 metric tons of carbon dioxide. The offsets were generated through the capture and destruction of methane at the Climate Action Reserve-registered Denton Landfill Gas Project.
