About USCPA
USCPA is the only U.S. organization dedicated exclusively to developing and implementing cost-effective greenhouse gas practices, strategies and performance targets -with measurable near-, mid-, and long-term performance results. USCPA is open to all companies - from those just beginning to address greenhouse gas emissions to those well on their way to both setting and achieving greenhouse gas goals. USCPA is unique and provides value not only as a “learning” organization, but as a “global information source” and a “public policy issues management resource” that acts quickly to demonstrate results.
As a “learning” organization, USCPA provides a forum for companies to learn about a wide variety of important issues such as:
- Accounting for your greenhouse gas emissions
- Identifying low-cost options inside your operations
- Identifying options outside your operations
- Verification and certification of emissions
- Carbon trading – Kyoto CDM/ JI and Determining Carbon Capital
- Reporting to the DOE Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gases (1605b) Program
- Transparency and public reporting
- Shareholder resolutions
- Public policy issues management
- Setting goals
As a “global information source”, USCPA recognizes that an environment and energy manager cannot manage risk without staying abreast of initiatives, regulation, legislation, policy decisions and protocols at the state, federal and international levels. USCPA keeps their member companies up-to-date with the latest on what is happening and provides a monthly forum to address their implications with other diverse companies.
As a “public policy issues management resource,” USCPA regularly provides forums with key state, federal and international policy makers where timely issues/policies are discussed in a private setting.
Quote from USCPA members:

“What makes USCPA unique, is that membership provides an opportunity for open dialogue between different industries. In a mono-industry environment you don't get the enriched understanding of the climate change issue that you do from a multiple-industry perspectives.”
“A key benefit of being a member of USCPA is the quick response – a constant finger on the pulse of the latest political and congressional actions and implications.”
