6.4 SHARING SUCCESSES AND SOLUTIONS
Organizations voluntarily report on their GHG emissions and progress in reducing
these emissions through the Voluntary Challenge and Registry (VCR) program.
MAC strongly encourages all member companies to register their commitment and
action plan to reduce GHG emissions with the VCR.
Following the guidance provided in this manual will allow you to meet a number of the VCR reporting requirements, particularly those related to quantifying your base year, preparing projections, and reporting on results achieved. Table 6.3 provides a summary of the VCR Champion Reporting Requirements and identifies mandatory requirements for each of the three Champion-level classes (Gold, Silver and Bronze). The final column identifies those reporting requirements that are addressed within this guidance manual.
Guidance related to the remaining reporting requirements can be found in the following documents:
