Rockwell Collins Joins EPA Climate Leaders Program.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- As a part of its continued commitment to sustainable practices, Rockwell Collins announced today its participation in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Climate Leaders program. By participating in Climate Leaders, Rockwell Collins has pledged to reduce its

corporate-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The company is evaluating current energy usage and emission levels and will announce its five-year goal in March 2007.

Launched in February 2002, EPA's Climate Leaders is an industry-government partnership that works to develop long-term comprehensive corporate climate change strategies.

"Through EPA's Climate Leaders program, America's leading companies are proving that reducing greenhouse gas emissions can help boost the bottom line," said Marcus Peacock, EPA Deputy Administrator. "We applaud these partners for joining the Bush Administration's aggressive and practical strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions."

Climate Leaders Partners set a corporate-wide greenhouse gas reduction goal and inventory their emissions to measure progress. By reporting inventory data to EPA, Partners create a lasting record of their accomplishments. Partners also identify themselves as corporate environmental leaders and strategically position themselves as climate change policy continues to unfold.

Climate Leaders Partners represent a variety of sectors, from heavy manufacturing to banking and retail. These companies all strive to set the standard for greenhouse gas management in their sectors, and more broadly in the U.S. economy.

In 2005, the company was recognized as a Performance Track Corporate Leader by the EPA's National Environmental Performance Track (NEPT) for its commitment to implementing programs that protect the environment.
