The Climate Leaders is an EPA industry-government partnership that works with companies to develop climate change strategies. Partner companies commit to reducing their impact on the global environment by completing a corporate-wide inventory of their greenhouse gas emissions based on a quality management system, setting reduction goals, and annually reporting their progress to EPA.

John Gerulis, vice president of environmental, health and regulatory affairs at Sherwin-Williams, said: “By setting a greenhouse gas reduction goal, we are complimenting our overall sustainability strategy of managing natural resources efficiently and responsibly. We believe that being stewards of the environment is consistent with the values of all our stakeholders and take the responsibility seriously.”
