CHICAGO – Ohio-based Standard Register (NYSE: SR), a recognized leader in management and execution of critical communications, knew it was a pretty “green” company, but didn’t know how green until it measured and reported its greenhouse gas emissions to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) at the request of one of its biggest customers, one of the largest financial institutions in the U.S.
“Although Standard Register’s green initiatives had been a part of our business model for some time, we had never measured and reported our carbon emissions in a rigorous, standardized way,” said Steve McDonell, Standard Register’s vice president of engineering.
