DAK Americas, producer of PET Resin, Polyester Staple Fibers, and raw materials for polyester based products, said it has become a founding reporter of The Climate Registry.


 

The Climate Registry is a non-profit organization established to measure and publicly report greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in a common, accurate and transparent manner that is consistent across industry sectors and borders. Its founders include thirty-nine U.S. states, six Canadian provinces, three Native American tribes, two Mexican states and the District of Columbia.


“DAK Americas has demonstrated exemplary environmental leadership by courageously stepping forward to support The Climate Registry in its preliminary stages,” said Gina McCarthy, chair of The Climate Registry. “We are deeply grateful for their integral support in helping to address the challenge of climate change.”


A forerunner in their respective industries, DAK Americas has demonstrated environmental stewardship on several fronts by voluntarily committing to annually measure, independently
verify, and publicly report their GHG emissions utilizing The Climate Registry General Reporting Protocol. The protocol is based on the internationally recognized GHG measurement standards of the World Resources Institute and World Business Council on Sustainability.


“DAK Americas is an industry leader in pursuing environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions for supplying sustainable products,” said Hector Camberos, President of DAK Americas. “We strive to reduce or reuse internally generated waste, while increasing the awareness of these initiatives with customers, employees and the communities in which DAK participates.”


DAK’s products exhibit properties that allow them to be recycled or reused into secondary markets and can be easy incorporated into municipal, post-consumer recycling programs- advancing DAK Americas’ support of business solutions that are economically, ecologically and
socially responsible.


Incorporated March 2007 in Washington, DC, 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.
