CCCA and the Environment
It's important to be both Green AND Safe
CCCA is actively involved in the organizations promoting sustainability in our industry.
Through the STEP* Foundation, many of our members are working on a sustainability rating system for ICT (Information, Communications, Technology) systems manufacturers.
 As a member of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), CCCA carefully monitors and comments on LEED credit proposals that may impact structured cabling products and their fire performance.
CCCA is also supportive of the Green Building Initiative programs.
The environmental stewardship of individual CCCA member companies extends from the sustainability of cable and connectivity products to the processes and operations within plants and facilities.
