This resource from Business for Social Responsibility and the U.S. EPA aims to rigorously evaluate -- from a corporate managers' perspective -- the environmental and business benefits of participating in voluntary government climate programs.

The guide profiles the EPA's climate Partnership Programs, and organizes them by business value, services offered, program descriptions and applicable industries. It also outlines how companies have invested in climate-friendly technologies to receive recognition for their efforts, save on costs and waste-disposal needs, and to get out in front of potential climate legislation.

The EPA Partnership Programs profiled in the resource also offer technical assistance, financial and environmental analysis tools, training, seminars, networking, guidebooks and environmental performance benchmarking.
