Michigan State University 21 st April 2014 Understanding the impact of the supply chain Dr. James Salo SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, NORTH AMERICA TRUCOST
INTRODUCING TRUCOST Trucost has been helping companies, investors and cities to understand the environmental impacts of their supply chains since 2000 Trucost has analysed the environmental performance of >500,000 suppliers representing $100B expenditure Trucost wrote environmental reporting guidelines for business for the UK Government and Shanghai Stock Exchange Trucost models are supported by an International Academic Advisory Panel
Risks and opportunities Understanding the impact of the supply chain
SUPPLY CHAIN OPPORTUNITIES REDUCE THE COST OF MATERIAL INPUTS AVOID PASS THROUGH COSTS ENSURE A CONTINUED SUPPLY OF RAW MATERIALS AVOID SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTIONS ON AVERAGE, TRUCOST SUPPLY CHAIN SERVICES HAVE IDENTIFIED $1.8 MILLION IN POTENTIAL SUPPLY CHAIN ENERGY COST SAVINGS PER PROJECT.
SUPPLY CHAIN RISKS "In the next 40 years we need to produce as much food as we produced in the past 8,000." WWF 3bn more middle class consumers by % water shortfall by 2030 >100% increase in real commodity prices since X increase in volatility of commodity prices since 2000

“TRUCOST REGULARLY FINDS THAT JUST 10 – 20% OF SUPPLIERS ACCOUNT FOR 80 – 90 % OF SUPPLY CHAIN IMPACTS.” ‘SEE’ THE FOREST
WHY CARE: RISK OF PASS THROUGH COSTS Potential risk of water pass through costs (magnitude + likelihood based on regional water scarcity and regulatory scenarios) 29% of profit warnings by FTSE companies due to rising raw material prices (Ernst & Young 2011)
Michigan State University 2013 Assessment Understanding the impact of the supply chain
MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY – 2013 ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVES Inform supply chain strategy development Identify greatest areas of risk and opportunity for GHGs & Water Progress since initial assessment in 2010 Expand analysis to include water consumption Include additional suppliers beyond 2010 assessment Quantify potential financial risks associated with supply chain environmental impacts Continue to involve suppliers in assessment and joint performance improvement

Review of project findings Food services supply chain
SUPPLIER RESPONSE – FOOD SERVICES Supplier engagement results – data verification 6 companies completed supplier engagement: Michael Foods/Papettis Hygrade Eggs Norpac Services Ken’s Foods Northern Lakes Seafood & Meats Stone Circle Bakehouse King & Prince Seafood A further 18 companies were previously researched by Trucost
KEY SECTORS – FOOD SERVICES The top 3 spend categories account for 97% of the total carbon emissions across the supply chain – manufacturing alone accounts for 79% The top 3 spend categories account for 97% of the total carbon emissions across the supply chain – manufacturing alone accounts for 80% GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS WATER CONSUMPTION
CARBON & WATER DISTRIBUTION – FOOD SERVICES The top 10 suppliers contribute to 59% of total carbon emissions and 55% of total water use The top 50 suppliers account for 95% of total carbon emissions and 96% of total water use

Why valuing natural capital? Business case for environmental initiatives: cost-benefit ROI analysis of intangible issues to support decisions that have historically been value based. Environmental context: understand business dependence on nature and identify what is material (e.g., water scarcity). Quantify the risk of pass through costs. Optimize investment portfolios or brand portfolio to manage risk. Inform sourcing decisions to ensure a stable supply of raw materials. Grow sales. Lower cost of capital for a new technology. Optimize product design.
