Business Growth What impact will different growth strategies have for different regions? Upstream / Supply Chain Operations Downstream / Customers Supply Chain Configuration Which suppliers are at most risk from fluctuating energy prices or climate change impacts? Risk Assessment Modelling the risk of erosion of market share to competitors with more environmentally sustainable alternatives 5

8 Operations Efficiency and Engagement Wyke Farms, a cheese manufacturer based in Somerset, supplies all of the major UK supermarkets. The company has saved 22 million kg of CO2 since 2013 through a combination of energy generation, water recovery and reuse of waste. Energy saving initiatives include: Solar panels installed on farm roofs All equipment has low energy inverters installed Deliveries are made with electric vehicles charged by renewable energy Three digesters to break down organic waste into energy in their biogas plant Wyke Farms were the first British dairy farm to earn the Carbon Trust Triple Standard across carbon emissions, water use and waste for demonstrating reductions year after year. 7

9 Case Study Corporate Target setting and reporting (Science-based) Carlsberg s Value Chain By 2020 a 30% reduction in beer-in-hand carbon footprint Packaging - Supply Chain engagement Recyclate content and lightweighting Downstream reuse and recycling Breweries - Energy Strategy 50% reduction in carbon emissions at our breweries by % electricity from renewable sources at our breweries by 2022 Science-based targets Agriculture Malt free brewing Innovations in agriculture 8

10 Sales and Marketing Product Differentiation Quorn has held Product Carbon Footprint Certification of its Mince and Pieces (frozen and chilled) products since Quorn wanted to promote diverse ranges of protein sources. The analysis conducted led to an understanding of both the impacts of meat and of Quorn. In Recertification Quorn has been able to show an average reduction of 9% in all certified products Quorn has reduced the carbon footprint of its core mycoprotein ingredient by 15 per cent. Quorn is using the Label in the Nordics, UK, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa to communicate commitment to further reductions 9

12 Procurement and Supply Chain Supply chain collaboration Significant savings opportunities across the beef and dairy sector Farm Case Studies Recognising Sustainable Beef Production Significant savings opportunities across the beef and dairy sector 10 Day Increase in Grazing Season Reduces costs by 27 per cow. Cuts carbon footprint by 1.7% Improving calving rate from 80% to 85% Lifts returns by around 45 per cow. Reduces carbon footprint by 4% 11

13 Product Development / R&D Design better products Amcor is the world s largest packaging company and the single largest supplier of flexible packaging to business around the world In an effort to measure, manage and reduce the impact that packaging has on the environment, Amcor have introduced an in-house lifecycle assessment tool, the Advanced Sustainability Stewardship Evaluation Tool This enables comparisons of alternative formulations for clients and allows the assessment of water consumption requirements of new products being developed by their research team. Amcor are therefore able to develop packaging solutions with a reduced environmental impact 12
