  2. EY’s Global Sustainability Capability & Reach • Globally integrated, multi-disciplinary network of approximately 700 professionals who combine our firm’s experience in assurance, tax, advisory and transactions with climate change and sustainability skills and industry knowledge. • Most globally integrated of the Big Four, leveraging our experience from serving clients with similar business models. • Our global network of professionals collaborate on international projects on a regular basis, constantly sharing leading practices, lessons learned, and knowledge around the world. Our sustainability services include: • Sustainability risk assessment, planning, management • Sustainability strategy and management systems • Performance goal setting, measurement, and reporting • Assurance readiness • Independent assurance • Product environmental and financial performance improvements • Stakeholder segmentation and engagement • Energy cost reduction and operational performance improvements • Environmental Health & Safety cost savings and process improvements • Tax incentives

  3. Improve operating efficiency Create shared value upstream by managing supplier impacts and leveraging sustainable innovation opportunities Conserve resources in facility operations to decrease financial and enviornmental costs Reduce, recycle, reuse or sell waste Grow revenues Identify new revenue-generation opportunities through product or process innovation Drive revenue growth downstream through partnerships with customers Increase brand value through enhanced identity and positioning Manage enterprise and supply chain risk Evaluate impacts on operations from rising energy costs, water scarcity or regulatory compliance throughout the value chain Embedding sustainability in the value chain Ernst & Young helps companies embed sustainability throughout the value chain to improve profitability and increase returns. Sustainability helps companies improve performance and capture value • We ask the question: Can you do more with less? • Are you incorporating life cycle costs (including energy usage) in your capital expenditures (e.g., for PPE)? • What are the potential risks of waterscarcity and fuel price volatility to your operations and supply chain? • Can you generate new revenue and avoid landfill fees from your operational waste? • Where are there opportunities to reduce material usage in products and packaging? • Do you have the information you need to manage energy, water, and materials? • Are there sufficient controls in place to manage that information?

  4. Supply Chain Sustainability OpportunitiesSome examples for value creation • Environmentally preferable purchasing (EPP) • Goals: Reduce waste generation volume, frequency, permitting fees and landfill disposal costs, and identify recycling opportunities that generate revenue. • Action: Connect procurement and waste management professionals at enterprise/site-levels. • Goal: Develop EPP policies, procurement criteria, purchasing guidance for material inputs and manufactured product goods. • Action: Track 435+ internationally recognized eco-labels, sustainability certifications and standards, and down-select those that are credible and relevant to adding value to your specific line of business. • Early supplier involvement and collaboration • Goal: Engage key suppliers early (i.e. strategic importance, critical resource availability, annual spend) to develop mutually beneficial sustainability performance goals/initiatives. • Action: Develop collaborative partnerships and identify opportunities to share data, knowledge, and resources.

  5. Supply Chain Sustainability Risk5 areas that impact your business opportunities • Strategic – Linking supply chain risk management to enterprise strategic planning (e.g. supplier segmentation by critical resource inputs) presents opportunities to improve competitive advantage (e.g. waste and cost reduction). • Compliance – Companies complying with supplier sustainability requirements must track data (e.g. energy/fuel use) and make the information available for audits. Conversely, a company implementing its own supplier sustainability program needs processes to track/monitor supplier compliance and can use the data to inform business decision-making. • Financial - Supply chain issues can impact a company’s financial strategy (e.g. cost cutting opportunities, cash management/liquidity implications of carbon markets, due diligence requirements for mergers/acquisitions. As companies increase public disclosures in non-financial and integrated reports, CFOs /audit committees are increasing oversight and controls. • Reputational – To manage reputational risk and enhance brand, companies are increasingly implementing supplier segmentation and qualification programs to ensure they do business with suppliers with shared values, who meet social and environmental performance expectations. Periodic supplier review/audit can gauge collaboration opportunities (e.g. environmentally preferable purchasing) and potential risks (e.g. EH&S non-compliance). • Operational – Improved operational efficiency of processes , systems, and resource utilization reduces risk and creates business opportunities (e.g. spare parts inventory management, manufacturing equipment utilization, maintenance planning, downtime, reduction, manufacturing waste recycling innovations, facility energy optimization).

  6. Snapshot: Supply Chain Sustainability RiskWhat are conflict minerals? • Section 1502 of Dodd Frank requires certain public companies to provide disclosures about the use of “conflict minerals” from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and 9 adjoining countries. • Cassiterite: An ore of tin and commonly used in electronics (solder), plating and as a stabilizer in plastics. • Columbite-Tantalite or “coltan”: An ore of the element tantalum that is commonly used in the manufacture of various electronics. • Wolframite: An ore of tungsten that is commonly used in metal wire, electrical and welding applications. • Gold: Common uses are in jewelry and electronics.
