1 A zero deforestation supply chain Sustainable Soy Bjørn Rask Thomsen, CEO DENOFA

2 Soy, the world s no. 1 source of protein 370mln tonnes of soybean production, price competitive High-protein soymeal allows more domestic crops in animal compound feed Average 10% non-gmo soy used in Norwegian farm animal compound feed and ~20% in salmon feed Worldwide more than 2/3 for feed and the balance for food, and some for fuel

3 Production in tonnes share of import China 15M 66% of import Europe 3M 10% of import Exporters soybean production North America 133 mln mt 36% South America 177 mln mt 48% The impact of Norway s 0.2%? 0.2% of global soybean production (~800,000 tonnes of soybeans) 12% of global certification (6.5 mln tonnes (2%) are certified ProTerra or RTRS) A private-public partnership Small player, speaking loud and clear!

6 Mato Grosso is 67% native forests km2 Mato Grossos PCI programme set to preserve 60% of natural forest, while increasing agricultural production by 42 mln tonnes (COP21 Paris) The PCI can save the world of 6.6 gigatonnes CO2e from 2016 to 2030 Half of native forests on land owned by farmers

7 A shift in Industry-wide, we took an active role - of responsibility to collaborate with the stake-holders of the forest-regions we source from; to help solve the problem! Implemented in 2015 and contractually binding: Zero Deforestation Certified Sustainability NYDF GCF Rio Branco Mato Grosso collaborations; farmers, exporters, indigenous, government, NGOs..

8 No full responsibility without 100% traceability and identity preservation We learned - as a company you cannot take full responsibility for your supplies, if you don t know where it is all comes from, how it was farmed and what happened en route to your destination

9 Pre-competitive is the key to avoid leakage and effectively change market behaviour «This is an example on how goals on sustainable development can be a part of a business model. It is also a good example on how one can deploy sustainable strategies for an industrial branch at large scale.» Former minister of Climate and Environment Vidar Helgesen, february 2017

10 The deforestation problem, not resolved! Zero Deforestation + Certified Sustainable Soy Supply Chain 0.3%, into Norway and Sweden Scaling responsible sourcing - the 99.7% going elsewhere and the 98% not sustainable certified Our supply chain commitment starts with soy in the ground Extended supply chain responsibility to avoid use of deforested land in the first place; bank financing, fertilizers, pesticides etc.

11 Year 2030, and the competitiveness of climate action The competitiveness of Sustainability: Jurisdictional Sustainability; solving the problem beyond the supply chains companies actively taking responsibility can help governments chart out the road map to stop deforestation and help governments to favour the competitiveness of sustainable farming mobilize to get the rest of the market to follow, all to take on responsibility; wall-to-wall, region-to region

12 - turning market forces in favour of forest protection Pricing of carbon as one way of funding forest preservation, Carbon footprint labelling of feed is one step Native forest protection is 30% of the solution! Regulations and taxations in favour of native forests Taking responsibility must be pre-competitive; if you don t you are out!

13 Partnerships for the goals A choice - add Collaboration to Purchasing demands What are we responsible for: Not causing the problem or solving the problem? Alone you may protect your brand, together we can collaborate to solve the problem!
