  1. Sustainability Education Session Marketing Team meeting • Diane Taillard, GS1 • Jonathan Johnson, University of Arkansas September 24, 2010

  2. Measuring and Managing Sustainability Jon Johnson http://www.sustainabilityconsortium.org/

  3. Guiding Principles • Focus on impacts across product life cycles • Science and evidence based approach • Transparent data and methods… …with respect for proprietary information …that is honest about uncertainty …and is designed to improve. • Rapid progress balanced by rigor • Cost feasible solutions • Systems must drive innovation that creates value

  4. The Sustainability Consortium MISSION STATEMENT The Sustainability Consortium is an independent organization of diverse global participants who work collaboratively to build a scientific foundation that drives innovation to improve consumer product sustainability. WHAT WE DO The Sustainability Consortium develops transparent methodologies, tools and strategies to drive a new generation of products and supply networks that address environmental, social and economic imperatives. CONSTITUENCY The Sustainability Consortium advocates for a transparent process and systemgrounded in science, not for individuals or organizations.

  5. Organization Consortium Level • Steering Committee and Subcommittees (Tier I members) • Partnering Universities • Working Groups (TSC staff, member companies and partners) • Measurement Science • Auditing and Assurance • Systems Science • Consumer Science • IT Standards and Tools Administered by Arizona State University and the University of Arkansas • Governance and External Relations Task Forces underway

  6. Sector Working Groups • Initial Sectors • Food, Beverage & Agriculture • Home & Personal Care • Electronics • Motivations • Need for progress • Balance specialization and harmonization • Supply chain scope Objectives • Develop prototype SMRS • Accelerate infrastructure and tool development • Set the stage for supply chain innovations

  7. Reporting framework

  8. What is an SMRS? • Sustainability Measurement and Reporting Standard • Foundation for B2B, B2R, B2C reporting • SMRS • What sustainability dimensions should be captured? • How should they be measured? • How should they be reported?

  9. SMRS versus Index INDEX TSC SCOPE

  10. LCA or Attributes? • LCA has higher information content but is costly • Not scalable to all products on all dimensions • LCI data is currently very sparse • Attribute approaches have lower information content but are less costly • Best practices, certifications, technologies, etc. • Several approaches are currently available

  11. Total U.S. Carbon Footprint for Fluid Milk Total Supply Chain Emissions = 35Tg CO2e (as of 2007) Confidential: Not for Distribution Consumer Packaging Retail Milk Production Processing Transport/ Distribution Feed Production Note: average result for fluid milk only

  12. Production Confidential, not for distribution. Embargoed until September 22, 2010

  13. A hybrid approach PRIMARY DATA A pure LCA approach is not economically scalable across all consumer products A pure "best practices" approach lacks precision and tends to weigh each best practice equally, regardless of impact BASELINE LCA MODEL FOR PRODUCT CATEGORY IMPACTS SUSTAINABILITY PERFORMANCE DRIVERS (VARIABLES & ATTRIBUTES)

  14. Three step reporting Reporting Category 1 Reporting Category 2 Reporting Category 3 Reporting Category 4 : BASELINEFORPRODUCTCATEGORY PRIMARY DATA AND THEIR IMPACTS (optional) 1. All products within category have same scores 3. Every product potentially has different scores PRE-DEFINED SUSTAINABILITY PERFORMANCE DRIVERS AND THEIR IMPACTS 2. Every product with same attributes has same scores

  15. Data and IT Success Factors Any organization should be able to: • Assess and prioritize supply chain sustainability impacts • Identify opportunities for innovation • Measure and report performance without undue burden • Identify and visualize baseline models • Select from approved Sustainability Performance Drivers • Refine their model using primary data from their operations and supply chains

  16. Data and IT Success Factors Any organization should be able to: • Use life cycle modeling tools or results to innovate • Inform product design process • Inform procurement decisions • Find supply chain efficiencies • Understand use phase and end of life impacts of their products
