Types of Data Being Collected
• Lear collects a variety of data streams across the enterprise
• All of this data is aggregated and reported annually in Lear’s sustainability report

Metric Goal
Energy Use 15% Reduction (Per Operational Man-hours)
GHG Emissions 15% Reduction (Per Operational Man-hours)
By-Product Recycling 20% Increase
Water Usage 10% Reduction (Per Operational Man-hours)
Social Projects All Plants Have at Least One Social Project Per Year to Help Local Communities
Lear’s Key Metrics and Global Goals
• Key data metrics have been chosen based on historical
availability of data, reporting requirements/sustainability
pressures, and areas of sustainability impact
• Below are Lear’s Global Goals for 2018 from a 2010 baseline

Energy and Emissions - 2013
• 2013 Energy consumption
(MWh/mh) was reduced by 45.9%
over 2010 baseline usage.
• In 2013, Lear achieved an 37%
reduction in Greenhouse Gas
Emissions (Tonne CO2e/mh) over
2010 baseline.

Energy by Year
• We achieved a 12.4% reduction in Energy Consumption in 2013 when compared with 2010 baseline using absolute* values. *absolute means actual GHG emissions and is not normalized by hours worked.

Lear’s Global Continuous Improvement teams strongly supports our
sustainability efforts using lean manufacturing processes to identify energy
and waste reduction projects, track progress and operate a best practice
website to share successful projects. A sampling of energy reduction
projects undertaken at several plants around the globe during 2013 include:
• Replaced lamps with more energy efficient lighting such as T5 fluorescent and LED
technology.
• Installed a solar water heater to reduce energy consumption for process water.
• Heating the plant using waste energy from a Biogas powered combined heating and
power unit, provided by a supplier. Approx 300 t CO2 reduction per year and approx.
44% cost reduction.
• Modified roofing to let more sunlight in to reduce lighting requirements.
• Implemented plant monitoring to ensure task lighting and computers are switched off
during off shifts.
• Revised air compressor system to run smaller compressors to provide essential
compressed air for specific activities. Allows plant to turn off large compressors and
save energy.

• Lear also achieved a 12.7% reduction in Greenhouse Gas Emissions in 2013 when compared with 2010 baseline using absolute* values.
*absolute means actual GHG emissions and is not normalized by hours worked.

Key Water Risks and Water Stressed Regions
• Water scarcity can have a sizeable impact on our manufacturing operations
• We use water in many key manufacturing phases in our plants (metals and fabric plants)
• We cannot be certain we will always have access to the water we need
• Some of our facilities are located in regions where water supplies are under stress
• Global climate change has the potential to further impact the availability and quality of water

By Products and Waste Management - 2013
• Major By-Product Recycling has consistently increased since 2010.
• Recycling rate dropped in 2013 as Reflected in the total waste volume decrease by 58% from 2012.

Lear’s Key Metrics and Global Goals
• Below is Lear’s Global Data from a 2010 baseline
• We have exceeded all 2018 goals!!!!!!
13
Note: Recycling Rate in 2013 reduced due to significant waste reduction.
• Lear has re-established a base line from the 2013 data
with the addition of new facilities. New emission factors
have also been utilized to update the CO2e emission
calculations.
• Lear has set new 2020 goals using the same percent
reductions and the new 2013 baseline.

Steps to Becoming More Sustainable
• Systems must be put in place to manage sustainability issues
• Leverage lessons learned from ISO14001
• These steps will be necessary in the process
• The process does not end:
– Continuous improvement
– Changing sustainability pressures may keep “moving the finish line”
15
• Sustainability Report – CEO message (first report signed off by Executive
VP-now signed by CEO)
– Global GHG’s, Water and By-Product Management
– Green Design - features our green products
– Community Programs - features a collage of pictures
of employees around the globe participating in events
