Column Name: STANDARDIZED_PARENT_COMPANY

Description: A data field developed by EPA that is intended to best reflect the current ultimate US parent company for the facility. EPA developed this field to facilitate the aggregation of TRI facility-level information to the associated parent company by ensuring that each company is referenced consistently by the same name. Filers often submit names with small variations (e.g., Exopack vs. Exopack Holdings Corp) that make aggregation at the corporate level challenging when using parent names as reported. The standardized parent company field was developed by standardizing the self-submitted parent company names through a process described on the TRI website (e.g., eliminating periods, standardizing common acronyms such as Inc and Corp, etc.). The process also includes the replacement of subsidiary names with the name of the ultimate US parent in cases where EPA identified a subsidiary in the submitted parent company field.
