After the label: engaging our supply chain • In September 2007, with Carbon Disclosure Project and other global companies, new Supply Chain Leadership Collaboration launched to develop: • one single standardized approach to gather carbon information throughout supply chains. • data-sharing systems so that multiple retailers and brands can view carbon emissions and strategies of shared suppliers • awareness through supply chains that carbon and climate change impact will grow in business decision-making importance. It will eventually bring tens of thousands of new suppliers into the carbon disclosure for the first time • PIUK selected 14 suppliers to take part in 2008, with focus on Walkers supply chain
In December 2007 Walkers Supplier Summit brought together key suppliers of raw materials and packaging. The summit looked at: • progress against carbon reduction targets, and future projections • common risks and opportunities • where carbon minimisation approaches could be shared • barriers to progress • Explicit goal to move towards shared carbon management and targets, across our supply chain. After the label: engaging our supply chain
In August 2007 Walkers announced that they would switch to sourcing 100% British potatoes for all their crisps. The move meant that Walkers would be buying an additional 40,000 tonnes of potatoes per year from the UK, on top of the existing 420,000 tonnes • Small carbon reduction (<1%) • Future packaging developments judged through carbon lens for first time • Future carbon projections used to introduce rudimentary carbon governance After the label: within our business
Is there a case for shared supply-chain carbon-reduction strategies and targets? (e.g. or should companies act alone / by diktat?) • What would they look like? (e.g. joint plans owned between multiple corporate stakeholders) • What are the barriers? (e.g. short-term trading/contractual relationships, restricting corporate purchasing freedoms, disclosure/confidentiality, fear of public profile etc) • How could the barriers be overcome? Dilemmas and challenges

Obesity is a critical global challenge • WHO’s latest projections indicate that globally: • approximately 1.6 billion adults (age 15+) were overweight; • at least 400 million adults were obese • WHO further projects that by 2015, approximately 2.3 billion adults will be overweight and more than 700 million will be obese.
Public policy is responding, and reputational risks are huge

Transforming our portfolio - reformulation Renovation of core Walkers • New healthier SunSeed oil • 75-80% reductions in saturated fat • 25-50% reductions in salt levels Now expanded to full snacks range
Progress comes at a cost • Learning with third parties was sometimes complex, but it brought new skills, insight and experience • A public-facing climate commitment is helping business decisions be focussed through an environmental lense. • Working with one partner highlighted the opportunities to engage with others, especially our own supply chain. £950 per tonne , April 2008 £360 per tonne , April 2007
How best to build trust around what we are doing? Dilemmas and challenges How to predict the long-term costs of product improvements or reformulations, when agricultural prices are in dramatic flux ?

Nutrition Research Reviews, 2004
Understand and reflect the science We’re not eating enough wholegrain “Daily intake of wholegrain in the UK is very low, and with 3 out of 10 adults classified as non-consumers, it is clear that new wholegrain-rich foods are needed if we are to encourage increased intakes across the whole population.“ Dr Susan Jebb, Head of Nutrition and Health Research at the Medical Research Council Average UKdaily intake 23g* (Adults) Suggested Daily Amount 48g** Source:* Thane et al, British Journal of Nutrition 2007 **Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2005).

How best to build trust around what we are doing? Dilemmas and challenges What happens when the science is less clear cut, or consumer beliefs contradict it? Health claims must be tightly regulated, but have we got the right balance if we want to promote healthier options?
Transforming our portfolio – new product development • Walkers Baked: • Launched Sep 2006 • 70% less fat than regular crisps Impact: • £37m brand in 18 months • Heavily consumed by younger • consumers, and CDE background • (key in Govt obesity strategy) • Switching from less healthy • “standard” crisps and snacks • Performance with purpose

Dilemmas and challenges How can niche products be… Microwave simmering But, in turn, a kettle can be 35-60% more efficient than a hob What if healthier cooking methods (baking v frying) have a higher carbon footprint?
