CRA’s Climate Change Policy Principles guide the industry’s advocacy to ensure a more sustainable future for corn refining, agriculture, and consumers. These five principles include:

reduce the overall carbon footprint of corn refining products and processes

CRA strives to identify and undertake initiatives to reduce the overall carbon footprint of corn refining products and processes.

greenhouse gas reduction goals must be clear, measurable and achievable

CRA advocates that any greenhouse gas reduction goals and targets be grounded in science, in addition to being clear, measurable, and achievable over time.

supporting the adoption of agricultural practices that sequester carbon into soil

CRA advocates for research, technical assistance, and incentives to support the adoption of agricultural practices that sequester carbon into the soil.

energy intensive industries must adapt

CRA advocates for policies that help energy-intensive industries adapt to potential federal or state carbon reduction policies.

agricultural feed stocks in industrial processes are key to advancing greenhouse gas reductions

CRA advocates for the recognition of agricultural feedstocks in industrial processes as a key element in advancing greenhouse gas reductions.
