Significant changes from CDP 2009: • Risk identification process- Describe your company’s process for identifying significant risks and/or opportunities from climate change and the process for assessing the degree to which they could affect your business, including the financial implications. • Link between climate change and strategy - Please describe how your overall group business strategy links with actions taken on risks and opportunities identified, targets and reporting. • More granularity – Data accuracy and assurance questions broken down by emissions scope. • A new specific sector supplement for Oil and Gas companies.
Turkish Expansion • From the Core Module you will be asked to respond to: • Governance • Risks and opportunities • Strategy • A subset of the emissions accounting questions: • Gross global Scope 1 • Gross global Scope 2 • Emissions history • Emissions intensity • Communications • You will NOT be asked to provide answers to: • Emissions trading questions • Detailed breakdown of your Scope 1 and Scope 2 questions • If you wish to complete the full request, that is possible.

Governance First question in the Online Response System (ORS) Link to Guidance document Onscreen Guidance
Risk and Opportunity 6 Questions cover 3 areas: Regulatory Physical “Other” Previous responses include: €0.01 increase per KWh results in €58 million costs for some industrial sites EUETS will put estimated additional €6 per ton on steel Disruption to supply caused by storms cost one company $227 million in 2008
Risk and Opportunity When yes is selected:
Title of presentation Strategy Importance of Developing a Strategy: • Developed strategies aid in maintaining cohesive response to shareholder interest/ requests • Help companies to understand their position in terms of regulation • Enable companies to take part in international and national regulatory discussions • Enables companies to make better expansion/ investment decisions
Strategy Pfizer: Three separate targets: 1. Reduce CO2 emissions by 35% per $ million of revenue by 2007 from the baseline year 2000; 2. To reduce worldwide CO2 emissions on an absolute basis by 20% from 2008 to 2012 (baseline year 2007); 3. Meet 35% of Pfizer’s electricity needs by 2010 through the use of "clean" energy technologies. VS. Johnson & Johnson: One absolute target: 7% absolute reduction target by 2010 against a 1990 baseline.
Emissions Accounting Traditional emissions reporting for S1 and S2 Changed wording surrounding disclosure of S2 What I own or Control What I Purchase What I Influence Scope 1 Scope 2 (Purchased Electricity) Scope 3
Emissions Accounting CO2, SF6, CH4, N20, HFCs, PFCs Scope 1 Scope 2 Scope 3
2010 Ratings Methodology How response quality is assessed Answer the question Complete all applicable questions Provide answers which are specific to the business of your organization Provide detail, examples and case studies where possible Provide figures where applicable – emissions, costs, investments, savings Where unable or unwilling to answer a question, explain the reason why and any activities in place that will enable you to answer it in the future
Assessment How response quality is assessed Q) What activities are you undertaking or planning to undertake to reduce your emissions/energy use? Indicative answer: Energy efficiency Many companies implement initiatives to save energy in the use of refrigeration, thus reducing energy use and corresponding carbon emissions. Since CDP 2008 this initiative has been implemented at 10 of its sites (4 in Europe, 3 in Australia and 3 in China). Each year this is expected to save xxx Mt CO2e. For example, in the Sydney site the initiative was implemented in December 2008 by replacing the existing refrigeration with xxxxx. This is estimated to have saved xx MWh of energy at the Sydney site over the four month period since its implementation. The activity is named and described – one point The response is specific to the company – two points Detail, values and a case study are given where appropriate –three points Note: Some companies indicated that based on advice of general counsel, they knowingly did not provide a more detailed response.
Helpful Tips Tips for responding • Don’t leave questions blank – always provide a full response, even if an area is not applicable or if a question is seemingly redundant • Leverage the supplemental Guidance • Provide answers that are specific with as much relevant detail as requested • Don’t cross–reference your responses from another question • Use the main text fields provided for your responses and not the Further Information field • Be careful to address all points listed in the questions • Response deadline May 31st

Tiered Services CDP Reporter members have identified significant value to their organisations “The new analytical tools will allow us to benchmark our improving emissions performance against thousands of other businesses and seek out further opportunities to drive down our carbon footprint. E.ON UK will continue to invest in the coming years in reducing carbon in our business, and new and improved CDP systems will help guide this important work.” Richard Scott, Head of Consultancy, E.ON Sustainable Energy “CDP has recognised the value of the data disclosing companies provide, which has not been readily available in the past. That's why we decided to become a founding member of the new Reporter Services initiative. We see benefits for investors too - providing disclosing companies with easy access to benchmarking data will drive further improvement in climate change disclosures and data provided to inform investment decisions.” Mark Joiner, Executive Director Finance, National Australia Bank Limited “CDP networking events and forums will have two real benefits for RBS Group. Firstly we get to meet other companies and learn how they have addressed similar challenges to our own. Secondly it provides a chance to discuss how we can support potential clients in achieving their low-carbon objectives. “ Sefton Laing, Environmental Programme Coordinator, RBS Group
