the “Search Options” button in FLIGHT above the map on the left hand side then select “Parent Company” and search for the corporate entity of your choice in the search field. Additionally, Envirofacts can be used to search GHGRP parent company data, and the results of the search can be downloaded in a spreadsheet for further analysis.
To improve the quality and utility of GHG data, EPA established guidelines for standardizing parent company names beginning with the 2011 reporting year. EPA provided reporters with a list of existing parent companies to choose from to aide reporting consistency. EPA also employed a “style guide” for reporters whose parent company was not on the menu provided, asking them to follow certain style conventions when entering parent company names. For more information on the “style guide”, please see http://www.ccdsupport.com/confluence/display/help/Standardization+of+Parent+Company+Names+-+Style+Guide.

Due

to
...
the

addition
...
of
...
the

parent

menu

and

guide,
...
most

companies
...
that

began

reporting

under

the

GHGRP
...
for

The
...
parent
...
company
...
information
...
reported
...
under
...
the
...
GHGRP
...
for
...
2010
...
is
...
improving
...
as
...
facilities
...
re-submit
...
their
...
data;
...
however
...
some
...
of
...
the
...
issues
...
addressed
...
through
...
the
...
changes
...
listed
...
above
...
are
...
still
...
present
...
in
...
the
...
2010
...
data
...
set.
...
Note
...
that
...
the
...
GHGRP
...
does
...
not
...
include
...
data
...
from
...
all
...
emission
...
sources
...
in
...
the
...
U.S.,
...
so
...
data
...
collected
...
under
...
the
...
GHGRP
...
does
...
not
...
reflect
...
all
...
greenhouse
...
gas
...
emissions
...
associated
...
with
...
any
...
specific
...
parent
...
company.
...
Also,
...
note
...
that
...
when
...
multiple
...
parent
...
companies
...
are
...
reported,
...
the
...
percent
...
ownership
...
does
...
not
...
necessarily
...
represent
...
the
...
percentage
...
of
...
greenhouse
...
gas
...
emissions
...
for
...
which
...
each
...
parent
...
company
...
is
...
responsible.
