What is Sustainability? • Balancing short and long term interests • The “Triple Bottom Line” – Social – Environment – Economic 5/28/2013 3 “Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” - Brundtland Commission Sustainability programs seek to establish and maintain priorities for social and environmental impacts on par with economic or financial performance
What Is Sustainability? • Social – Human Rights – Labor Practices – Fair Operating Practices – Consumer Issues – Community Involvement and Development • Environment – Regulatory Compliance – Pollution Prevention • Greenhouse Gas Emissions • Waste Generation • Incident Prevention & Mitigation – Biodiversity • Economic – Profitability – Financial Risk Management – Sustainable Resource Use “Natural Capital” • Water Usage • Energy usage • Raw Materials 5/28/2013 4 Diagram by: Johann Dréo Also described at People, Planet and Profit

Why Pursue Sustainability? It’s the right thing to do for the environment • Scientific data shows a strong historical relation between GHG levels & surface temperatures • As the global economy grows, especially in developing countries, CO2 emissions grow rapidly • CO2 levels are already believed to be the highest in 450,000 years • Scientists anticipate rising: – Surface temperatures - as much as 3.6 ⁰C (6.5 ⁰ F) global average – Sea levels – Extreme weather episodes • Even if you are unsure about the science, consider the potential impacts 5/28/2013 7 “No-one can predict the consequences of climate change with complete certainty; but we now know enough to understand the risks... Our actions over the coming few decades could create risks of major disruption to economic and social activity” – Sir Nicholas Stern, “Review on the Economics of Climate Change” Source: NOAA “Keeling Curve” High in previous warm periods was 300 ppm
Why Pursue Sustainability? Perception is important • U.S. news stories about major weather events frequently include commentary about global warming or climate change • It’s no wonder, since according to a September 2012 study by Yale and George Mason University… and • Therefore, it’s understandable that a March 2012 Accenture survey of 250 global executives finds: 5/28/2013 8 “A large and growing majority of Americans (74%, up 5 points since our last national survey in March 2012) say ‘global warming is affecting weather in the United States’.” “Americans increasingly say weather in the U.S. has been getting worse over the past several years (61%, up 9 percentage points since March).” “Just over half think that customers are not currently demanding sustainable products as much as they will in the future” and “over a third say they can’t keep up with demand for sustainable products”
Why Pursue Sustainability? It’s the right thing to do for your business • Improve company image/branding – Customer loyalty – Community support – Attract and retain top talent • Accelerate product and process innovation • Meet customer requirements – Consumer demands for sustainable products – “Trickle down” requirements - large, visible companies pushing requirements upstream • Reduce likelihood or impact of new regulatory requirements – Sustainability leader status may provide opportunities to influence regulations – Better preparation for compliance under a controlled, lower cost implementation effort • Increase competitiveness and profitability - many sustainability initiatives also improve efficiency and reduce costs 5/28/2013 9 “getting an A-plus from the Global Reporting Initiative, the only company in our sector, being ranked the No. 3 greenest company in America by Newsweek, being the only telecom company selected to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index -- these are the kinds of things we try to assign a brand value to.” – Dan Hesse, Sprint CEO “I’m proud to announce a series of steps and commitments that will make Walmart’s supply chain, in the United States, here in China, and around the world, more sustainable,” Mike Duke, President and CEO, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. “GE’s healthymagination and ecomagination strategies are aimed at developing and highlighting new solutions; this thinking is extending throughout our product development pipeline.” – www.gecitizenship.com
5/28/2013 10 What Is Sustainability? Why Pursue Sustainability? Sustainability and Profitability Why Extend to Suppliers? The Supply Chain Sustainability Roadmap Information Resources Agenda
Sustainability and Profitability • Financial viability is a critical element to make sustainability programs sustainable themselves • If done well, business and sustainability gains go hand in hand • According to MIT Sloan Management Review in their 2012 research report “Sustainability Nears a Tipping Point”: – 67% say sustainability related strategies are necessary to be competitive – 31% say that sustainability-related actions and decisions added to their profitability (the “Harvesters”) 5/28/2013 11 “Harvesters are looking at sustainability as a source of innovation, increased market share and improved profitability.” - MIT SMR
Sustainability and Profitability Dual Gains are Achievable • Walmart announced it will add $150 million to it’s bottom line in FY13 due to sustainability initiatives, additive to $231 million saved in FY12 • GE’s ecomagination program is generating major revenues through product innovation • The Container Store cut transportation costs by 20% on average, reduced fuel surcharges by half and carbon footprint by 40% by switching from truck to rail – Wall Street Journal article 5/28/2013 12 With 34 new products and services generating $21 billion –ecomagination revenue continues to grow at twice the rate of total company revenues.
Why Extend to Suppliers? • Increase leverage for greater environmental benefits – Multiply your beneficial impacts • Business gains can be realized through better management – Collaboration with suppliers to accelerate product innovation – Focus and discipline yield direct and indirect benefits - similar to quality management – Product lifecycle improvements increase reliability and reduce costs – Supplier efficiency gains may yield cost reductions • Win * Win * Win – suppliers, your company and the environment 5/28/2013 14 “If you’re going to focus your strategy on carbon reduction or environmental impact or social impact you need to engage your suppliers. Without them you cannot succeed.” - Edgar Blanco , MIT Sloan “We want to stimulate innovation over the whole lifecycle of our products. And clearly, if our suppliers can bring innovation into the supply chain, that will help us on a lifecycle basis improve the performance of our products.” – Peter White, Proctor & Gamble
