1 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT: LOCAL FOOTPRINT NATURE EVALUATE THE IMPACT OF YOUR ORGANIZATION S OPERATIONS, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AND OPTIMIZE YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE

2 From design to implementation, UTOPIES has been guiding and supporting businesses and public administrations for over twenty five years, helping them to make sustainable development an integral part of their policies and practices. Within our Local Living Economies division we believe that engaging in environmental footprint assessments is a powerful tool for organizations to successfully identify and seize opportunities for environmental optimization and ultimately maximize their positive impacts on local communities, and we are dedicated to proving that, one impact study at a time. OUR MISSION // Quantify environmental impacts every step of your supply chain with over 40 indicators (CO 2, water, surfaces, raw materials, etc.). // Identify strategic impact reduction and adaptation opportunities (per product / service, procurement segment, operational unit ). // Align your reduction strategy with the global effort to limit global warming below 2 C (Science Based Targets) and the UN s Sustainable Development Goals. 4 GOOD REASONS TO USE LOCAL FOOTPRINT NATURE // Evaluate your business model s impact (upstream, in-house, downstream) on natural resources and climate with a swift, trusted and affordable method. // Identify priority action levers to face major environmental challenges : climate change, resource rarefication, increasing environmental sanitary risks and accelerated biodiversity loss. // Showcase your organization s positive contribution and reinforce stakeholder confidence (clients, shareholders, investors ). // Enrich your extra-financial reporting and comply with new CSR reporting standards (French Grenelle II environmental law, GRI, Integrated Reporting, B Corp, mission-driven companies ).

4 GUARANTEEING RELIABLE ANALYSES WITH OUR ROBUST AND TESTED METHODOLOGY // LOCAL FOOTPRINT NATURE : AN INDEPTH ANALYSIS OF YOUR ENVIRONMEN- TAL IMPACTS OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN Starting with a detailed analysis of your monetary flows (procurement), LOCAL FOOT- PRINT NATURE offers a model of your organization s extended supply chain to the nth tier, establishing monetary equivalence for each given environmental impact. Monetary equivalence principle (example): x M billed in a given sector <=> x teqco 2 emitted Our model is based on statistics provided by the EXIOBASE input output database : 163 industries and/or 200 products, 43 Countries and 5 zones (rest of the world), 15 land use types, 48 types of raw materials and 172 types of water uses.
