- Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA)
- Natural Resource Defense Council (NRDC)
- Institute for Governance & Sustainable Development (IGSD)
- California Air Resources Board (CARB)

- National Aerosol Association (NAA)
- International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration (IIAR)
- American Chemistry Council’s Center for the Polyurethanes Industry (CPI)
