  1. Exploring Opportunities for improving your Supply Chain sustainabilityUTi’s Carbon Footprint Analysis 26 June 2009

  2. Executive summary • Global Warming is resulting from increased concentration of GHG in the atmosphere ; GHG emissions arise mainly from human activity, have dramatic consequences so Public and Private sectors are now launching an increasing number of initiatives to reduce our environmental impact • Transportation/Logistics sector represents a substantial share of the total GHG emission • In line with the UTi global environmental strategy, thinkgreen, UTi has developed the Carbon Footprint Analysis to support our Clients with analyzing the environmental impact of their logistic activities • This analysis supports • to decrease the environmental impact • to gain recognition from our client’s clients • to report out according to regulations • to participate in carbon markets Carbon Footprint Analysis

  3. Executive summary (continued) • The proven approach consists in 6 steps and the emission calculations are supported by the UTi Ecotool, developed by UTi for that purpose and following the standards from the GHG Protocol • The first results of the application of this methodology are very encouraging : we could for instance help a major car manufacturer to determine the emissions resulting from its logistic activities from America to Europe • UTi can bring added value to the Client by combining its competences and expertise in logistics with its knowledge and strong interest in environmental matters • UTi sees this joint project as a win-win situation (helping our client to become greener while allowing UTi to be greener) that will deepen further the partnership between the Client and UTi Step 3 Model Configuration Step 6 Next Steps Step 2 Data Collection Step 1 Getting started Step 4 Analysis Step 5 Reporting Carbon Footprint Analysis

  5. Realizing the human negative impact on the environment... • Global warming is a fact and the principal cause for it is human activity: industrialisation has increased the amount of Greenhouse Gases in the atmosphere, trapping the sun energy in the atmosphere and heating up the earth • The effects of Global Warming (rising sea level, extinctions, precipitation patterns changing, extreme weather events, etc.) have dramatic consequences for the future • Now that the problem is acknowledged, action needs to be taken Global warming is a "modern" problem - complicated, involving the entire world, tangled up with difficult issues such as poverty, economic development and population growth. Dealing with it will not be easy. Ignoring it will be worse. “Feeling the heat”, UNFCCC publication Carbon Footprint Analysis

  6. ... Public and Private sectors are now taking action Response from the governments • The world's primary international agreement on reducing greenhouse gas emissions is the Kyoto Protocol, negotiated in 1997, now ratified by more than 180 countries, committed to specific targets for emissions of GHG gases by 2012 • Many countries are taking steps to reduce emissions through national policies including: • Introduction of emissions trading programs (carbon markets) allowing companies to sell or purchase carbon credits, depending on their allowances, e.g. the EU Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) • Voluntary programs • Carbon/Energy taxes, etc. • Some specific industrial sectors are already subject to regulations and included in the Emission Trading Programs; more industries will follow in the near future • In a post-Kyoto situation, companies most likely need to: • Annually report on their GHG emissions (their carbon footprint) • Buy/Sell their additional or surplus emission CAP on the carbon trade market • Firms must understand and manage their GHG risks to ensure long-term success in a competitive business environment, and to be prepared for future climate policies Implications for the corporate world Carbon Footprint Analysis

  8. UTi recognizes the environmental challenge for companies and has developed the Carbon Footprint Analysis to support them • Several firms have led the way and are already inventorying their GHG emissions and taking proactive actions to reduce their environmental impact Annual Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Sector • Transport sector causes 13.1% of the total GHG emissions; thus, a company’s logistic activities often represent a major part of its carbon footprint • As most of the companies are outsourcing their logistic activities, they lack the information and the visibility to perform a proper carbon inventory of their logistics activities Waste and waste water 2.8% • UTi has developed the Carbon Footprint Analysis to support our clients with this issue • The analysis will allow to: • Calculate the GHG emissions occurred during all their logistic activities, not only transportation but also warehousing and handling activities • Identify improvement opportunities to reduce their logistic carbon footprint Source: IPCC Synthesis Report - 2007 Carbon Footprint Analysis

  9. Value to the Client through the impact of reducing CO2 emissions Quantified Value • Visibility of carbon emissions and its impact reveals that reducing costs and reducing greenhouse gas emissions are not necessarily mutually exclusive initiatives • Optimization and management of CO2 emissions can bring to the companies competitive advantage and cost reduction opportunities • Optimization against CO2 in most of the cases results in simultaneous network optimization against cost, e.g.: • Currently some companies are addressing sustainability head-on and report their carbon emissions. Most likely in the nearest future companies will be forced to become environmentally responsible by standard law regulations • Reducing total carbon footprint within supply chain now will prevent from paying additional, soon mandatory fees and can bring for those ahead a return on investment with extra carbon credits • Route optimization against CO2 • Milk runs, less km driven, truck idle time reduction • Cost reduction • Transport mode optimization against CO2 • Intermodal transport introduction Carbon Footprint Analysis

  10. Understanding of carbon foot printing • Carbon foot printing focuses on global warming and climate change and calculates the amount of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emitted, all converted in carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) • Considering logistic activities, the major Greenhouse Gases emitted are CO2, S2O and CH4 Therefore, our study will only focus on these gases CO2 HFCs S2O GHG Concentration PFCs Variation in the Orbit Around the Sun SF6 Global Warming CH4 Volcanic Eruptions Water Pollution Change in Solar Luminosity Environmental Impact Noise … Air Pollution Carbon Footprint Analysis
