Overview

Demonstrate your Achievements in GHG Reporting and Reduction

TCR has two programs, Climate RegisteredTM and Water-Energy Leaders, to recognize our members who are leaders in GHG reporting and emissions reduction. These programs aim to promote and highlight the exceptional work that our members are doing to reduce their impact on climate change. We want all of our members to not only report their emissions, but to set reduction goals and achieve them!

Climate RegisteredTM Recognition Program

The Climate RegisteredTM  recognition program recognizes the efforts of organizations at all points on the reporting spectrum, from those who have just started to build capacity, to those who exemplify true excellence and leadership in GHG reporting. With 5 tiers of recognition and a wide range of benefits associated with each, Climate RegisteredTM communicates to your constituents that you are committed to taking action on climate change.

Water-Energy Leader Program

The Water-Energy Leader program communicates to your constituents that you are taking action on climate change, starting with the important first step of tracking the GHG emissions connected to the water you deliver, treat, and/or use in your operations.
