  1. SPIRE Brokerage event October 22nd 2013 SUSTAINABLE PROCESSINDUSTRY EUROPEAN INDUSTRIAL COMPETTIVENESS TROUGH Resource and energyefficiency Project Idea Presentation

  2. €12.4bn NET SALES Asking more from Chemistry INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO ANSWER MEGATRENDS CHALLENGES Solvay €2.1bn Adjusted REBITDA Megatrends driving growth in Chemicals Major Solvay innovation fields 29,100 EMPLOYEES 55 COUNTRIES RenewableChemistry • Climate Change Advanced Materials & Formulations €261m R&I spending • Scarce Resources SustainableEnergy OrganicElectronics 13 MAJOR R&I CENTERS • Over 1bn new consumers Eco-processes ConsumerChemicals >100Collaborativeinnovation projects • Health & Well-being

  3. Idea: Indicatorsfor cross-sectorialsustainabilityassessmentSPIRE-4 call – KA 5.2 • Buildon internalexperience of members to define a common set of indicators • Consistent with life cycle thinking • Simplified in order to beused by non-practioners of LCA • Based on a limitednumber of impacts • Usable in the early stages of projects • Solvay proposal for Suschem, beingcurrentlydiscussed…

  4. Quotation of Project vs. Reference through a set of questions Sustainability Index for Projects (1/2) Questions are written for project management team and do not require any LCA expertise For each question, project management team has to quote the new product versus its reference according to the following grid: … or the reverse

  5. From quotation to comparative positioning on 6 axes Sustainability Index for Projects (2/2) Distribution Matrix of the quotations over the 6 indicators X = 5

  6. Idea Impact The proposal strongly supports the SPIRE roadmap principles: • Life Cycle and Cost thinking, monitoring and steering • consistencywith LCA approach • Systemic analyses of alternative resource streams • Assessment will induce appropriate questions • Identification and cross-sectorial development or transfer of resource and energy efficiency solutions and practices • Assessmentwillinduce relevant connexions • A stagedapproach • From qualitative to quantitative • Creating the right skills, knowledge, standards and mechanisms • Can beconsidered as a 1ststeptowardsstandardization

  7. Existing Project Consortium WBCSD*: Life Cycle Metrics for Chemical Products • The objectiveis to ensure the consistent and credible communication of product environmental footprints by the chemical sector • The Guidance Principles are: • Relevance * • Completeness • Consistency * • Transparency * • Accuracy • Feasibility * • The Partners engaged in the Project are: • AKZO: Carmen Alvarado • BASF: Anahi Grosse-Sommer • DSM: Henk Bosch et Gaelle Nicolle • EASTMAN: Jason Pierce • EVONIK: Guido Vornholt • SABIC: SreepadarajKaranam (Sreepad) • SOLVAY: Jean-François Viot *WBCSD: World Business Coucil for SustainableDevelopment * Strong Connexion with SPIRE Project

  8. Looking for partners… • Starting from a simplified approach, we would like to partner with other industrial companies / technical centers / institutes in order to: • test relevance and robustness of the approach on different types of projects/products • refine the environmentalindicators • potentiallyenlarge the assessment to social domain • All sectors are welcome!
