Embedding sustainability in the value chain

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 water scarcity 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?

► 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

Ernst & Young helps companies embed sustainability throughout the value chain to improve profitability and increase returns.

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.

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).

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.

Sustainability – or corporate responsibility, as IBM refers to its applicability for the company – is a concept and commitment that has been an integral part of IBM’s business model and global management system throughout the company’s history.

Then-CEO Thomas J. Watson, Jr., included the following commitment to being a good corporate citizen in IBM Principles in the 1960s:

– “… We accept our responsibilities as a good corporate citizen in community, national and world affairs; we serve our interests best when we serve the public interest. …. We acknowledge our obligation as a business institution to help improve the quality of the society we are part of. We want to be at the forefront of those companies which are working to make our world a better place.”

IBM is committed doing business with responsible suppliers– Social and environmental responsibility is a major facet of our corporate responsibility

efforts.

Supplier environmental requirements date back to 1972 and continue to be updated

In 2004, IBM published its Supplier Conduct Principles to articulate the company's overall supply chain social and environmental requirements.

In 2012, IBM established new management system requirements for suppliers to effectively manage their business intersections with social and environmental responsibilities
