5. How to understand company Scorecard

The overall score can be better understood by looking at quantitative information - theme scores, activated criteria - and qualitativeinformation - strengths & improvement areas.

A. QUANTITATIVES INFORMATION: SCORES & ACTIVATED CRITERIA

THEME SCORES: Like the overall score, theme scores are on a scale of 1 to 100.

ACTIVATED CRITERIA: Each of the four themes - ENVIRONMENT, LABOR, FAIR BUSINESS PRACTICES, and SUSTAINABLEPROCUREMENT- have specific criteria associated to them. It is important to note that not all 21 criteria are activated for everycompany and some criteria have more weight than others in the overall assessment. The weights for the criteria are determinedbased on the CSR risks faced by the company according to their industry of operation and their country of operation(s). For moreinformation see Appendix: category profile.

Non ActivatedIf criteria are not activated, this means that the specific associatedissue is not relevant or has very low CSR risk for the company

Medium ImportanceMedium importance criteria are the issues where there is some CSRrisk, but it is not the most pressing criteria.

High ImportanceHigh-importance criteria are the issues where the company facesthe greatest CSR risk.

Only in Risk countriesCriteria classified as Only in Risk Countries are activated only if thecompany has significant operations in one or more risk country.

B. QUALITATIVE INFORMATION: STRENGTHS & IMPROVEMENT AREAS

Qualitative information provides more details and insights into the theme scores. For each theme the company is assigned Strengths (theelements of the CSR management system that are positive) and Improvement Areas (the elements of the CSR management system thatneed to be improved). The strengths & improvement areas are divided according to the 3 management indicators - Policies, Actions,Results – and are also classified by level of importance/priority (i.e. Priority.)

Green check marks indicate the Strengths Alert signs indicate the Improvement Areas

Improvement Areas are a focus point for improvement. The EcoVadis Corrective Action Plan Tool allows companies to improve their CSRperformance on specific improvement areas. It is an interactive tool shared between suppliers and buyers. It supports the development ofAction Plans, a starting point for an effective dialogue between buyers and suppliers on actions taken by a supplier to improve their CSRperformance.

Each improvement area is given a priority levelwhich can be used to set up corrective actionplans.

KEY CSR ISSUES

This section shows a qualitative explanation of the key CSR issues and risk pertaining to Manufacture of plastics products.

Key CSR Issues ENVIRONMENT

Energy Consumption & GHG

Definition: Energy consumption (e.g. electricity, fuel, renewable energies) used during operations and transport.Greenhouse gases direct and indirect emissions including CO2, CH4, N2O, HFC, PFC and SF6. Also includesproduction of renewable energy by the company.

Sectorial issues: Plastic manufacturing requires a significant amount of energy. According to the Pacific Institute(1), it takes around 3.4 megajoules of energy to make a one liter plastic bottle, cap, and packaging. Themanufacturing process differs according to the type of plastic, though each step of the process (e.g.compounding, extrusion, injection, etc.) requires energy consumption for machinery. Energy intensity levels arehighest during the extrusion and thermoforming phases due to the high temperature requirements for theseprocesses. To minimize the environmental impacts caused by non-renewable energy sources, companies shoulduse innovative technologies (e.g. plastic extruders that reduce process temperatures), reduce fugitive emissions,use alternative sources of energy and develop heat recovery systems.

Water

Definition: Water consumption during operations. Pollutants rejected into water.

Sectorial issues: The manufacturing of plastic products does not require as much water as other manufacturingactivities; however, water pollution during the manufacturing process occurs.. Water polluted with small pre-production plastic pellets are emitted during the unloading phases of production and additional chemicals areemitted during the cooling processes (2). Waters emitted during the cleaning stages potentially contain highBiochemical Oxygen Demand levels, and may contain oil, grease. Companies must properly control and treat watereffluents; monitor for, and mitigate leaks; and provide training to ensure safe handling of chemicals. Companiescan also reduce water pollutants by substituting chemical products (e.g. biodegradable plasticizer ) for eco-friendlyalternatives (see also Material, chemicals and waste).

Local Pollution

Definition: Impact from operations on local environment around company facilities: emissions of dust, noise andodor. It also includes accidental pollution (e.g. spills) and road congestion around the operation facilities.

Sectorial issues: Pollution, including noise and dust, may result from the manufacturing processes of plasticproducts (3). The World Bank’s 2007 study of the environmental impacts associated with plastic productionidentified fine dust particles as a material issue because it can cause explosions if left unmanaged (4) To preventsuch accidents from occurring, companies should install and maintain air filters to prevent emissionconcentrations. Additional pollutants resulting from plastic production include spills by the mishandling ofchemicals that, when spilled, may contaminate air, soil and water. Numerous national regulations require stringentprocedures to prevent such accidents from occurring (e.g. the IPPC directive in the European Union (5)).

Materials, Chemicals & Waste



[email protected]


Page: 25/31



Definition: Consumption of all types of raw materials and chemicals. Non-hazardous and hazardous wastegenerated from operations. Also includes air emissions other than GHG (e.g. SOx, NOx).

Sectorial issues: Production inputs of plastic products include large quantities of oilroughly ¼ liter/1 liter waterbottle (1). One alternative used to reduce reliance on oil is the use of plants as an alternative; however, themethod remains controversial due to land degradation and food supply consumption caused by over-using plants.Additionally, companies can design lighter or thinner products to reduce their (indirect) consumption of oil or userecycled plastic as raw material. The manufacture of plastic products also causes air pollution that requiresmitigation efforts. For instance, processing of PET at high temperatures may result in the emissions of numeroussubstances (e.g. formaldehyde, methoxy benzene), and volatile organic compounds (VOC)(5). Companies mustimplement efficient waste management systems for hazardous and non recyclable process waste, includingproducts (e.g. ethylene dichloride (EDC) in PVC production). A large part of production waste, scrap materials andun-degraded pellets are reusable or recyclable.

Product End-of-Life

Definition: Direct Environmental impacts generated from the end-of-life of the products. These impacts caninclude hazardous, non-hazardous waste generated, emissions and accidental pollution.

Sectorial issues: Due to the high demand for plastic products, recyclability of plastic products is vital for sectorsustainability. The life-span of a plastic bag can be 15 to 1000 years, depending on the kind of plastic used. UNEP(6) stated in 2012 that every square mile of ocean contained 46.000 plastic parts floating on its surface. Plasticwastes endanger ecosystems and cause the deaths of more than a million birds, and more than 100,000 aquaticmammals every year. Manufacturers, as industry actors, should contribute to environmental awareness bymanufacturing products containing recycling instructions (resin identification code) to customers of consumer andhousehold goods. For For larger products that contain plastic components, they can ease the recycling process bymanufacturing products that reduce dismantling processing and refraining from using multiple resins types. Theycan as well provide customers with eco-friendly products containing biodegradable or oxo-biodegradable plastics.

Customers Health & Safety

Definition: Negative health and safety impacts of products and services on customers or consumers.

Sectorial issues: The health and safety risks linked to the usage of plastics are as numerous as the potential enduse of plastic products themselves. Risks exposure is particularly high in the food and beverage as well as thepackaging industries due to the recognized consequences associated with plastic and food contact. Exposure tosome plastics, including BPA, have been recognized as causes for biological impacts, including increased cancerrisk. Risks are higher when plastic are exposed to high temperatures through the use of microwaves). Companiescan participate in public research on effects of plastics on health, invest in alternative materials, and prohibit theusage of more the dangerous plastics (e.g. PVC).

LABOR PRACTICES

Employee Health & Safety

Definition: Deals with health and safety issues encountered by employees at work i.e. during operations andtransport. Includes both physiological and psychological issues arising from, among others, dangerousequipment, work practices and hazardous substance.

Sectorial issues: Workers employed in the sector are exposed to toxic and hazardous effluents and fumes,including toxic vinyl chloride vapors and chlorine, may irritate the lungs and increase the risk of cancer andreproductive issues (5). In order to limit such risks, companies must maintain machinery and adhere torecommended temperatures during the melting process. They also should provide employees with adequateprotective equipment, particularly when highly flammable materials are used. As in many industries, there are alsorisks repetitive strain risks, exposure to noise, and heavy machinery accidents. Each risk exposure can be greatlyreduced by effective, continuous training.

Working Conditions

Definition: Deals with working hours, remunerations and social benefits granted to employees.

Sectorial issues: According the PwC, given the opportunity, 64% of Millennials (and 66% of non-Millennials)would like to occasionally work from home. Apart from standard working conditions applicable to any activity (e.g.working hours, holidays, wages and benefits) the furniture manufacturing sector faces non-specific issues due tothe manufacturing activity involving employees. Measures such as shift allowance, personal & medical insurancecan be implemented to improve employees work/life balance by reducing the consequences of their position intheir life outside of work.

Social Dialog

Definition: Deals with structured social dialogue i.e. social dialog deployed through recognized employeerepresentatives and collective bargaining.

Sectorial issues: The Global poll 2012 led by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC)(7) shows that70% of workers from 13 countries worldwide think current labor laws provide inadequate legal protection onwages, and 44% think the legal framework does not ensure reasonable working hours. A sound and structuredsocial dialog is thus of importance especially in a context of medium or low skilled workforce, like in themanufacturing industry of plastic products.

Career Management & Training



[email protected]


Page: 26/31



Definition: Deals with main career stages i.e. recruitment, evaluation, training and management of layoffs.

Sectorial issues: A strong workforce provides the basis for a successful company. In order to foster theircommitment, plastic manufacturers must continually invest in training and development for their employees. Foremployees working for the sector, skills development training in new equipment usage not only keeps employeesup-to-date on new technologies, it also supplements health and safety training. The sector as a whole benefitsfrom career management systems as training, combined with fair wages and work environment, motivatesemployees. Companies engaged in this sector should not only train employees, but also evaluate and providefeedback to employees in order to identify further skills development needs.

Child & Forced Labor

Definition: Deals with child, forced or compulsory labor issues within the company owned operations.

Sectorial issues: For companies engaged in the manufacture of plastic products, risks associated with child andforced labor is potentially high, particularly when operating in identified high-risk countries. According to the ILO,there are nearly 21 million victims of forced labour across the world. International standards such as ILOconventions and the Guiding Principles on Business and Human RIghts provide a global framework for companiesto adhere to in the development of effective sustainable procurement programs. Operational-level mitigationstrategies to prevent child and forced labor include hiring procedures that scrutinize worker age and whistle-blowing procedures and disciplinary measures established to reinforce child and forced labor policies.

Discrimination

Definition: Deals with discrimination issues at work. Discrimination is defined as different treatment given topeople in hiring, remuneration, training, promotion, termination; based on race, national origin, religion, disability,gender, sexual orientation, union membership, political affiliation or age.

Sectorial issues: Promoting diversity through non-discrimination policies and practices has positive impacts onboth workplace motivation and has been shown to Diversity at work on the other hand is believed to have positiveimpacts on companies’ financial performance. When effective nondiscrimination policies not in place however,companies risk financial penalties in countries that have laws and regulations prohibiting discrimination based onvarious personal characteristics. Managers, as in any other industry, have to be careful regarding cases of genderdiscrimination and discrimination against handicapped workers.

Fundamental Human Rights

Definition: Deals with fundamental human rights issues at work. This includes the respect of security, propertyrights, employees privacy rights, civil and political rights, rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining,social and cultural rights (including indigenous people) as well as the prevention of harassment, moral and physicalviolence and inhumane or degrading treatment.

Sectorial issues: As set out in the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, companies have anobligation to respect and promote human rights. For companies operating in identified high risk countries, it isimportant that human rights impact assessments are performed in order to gain an understanding of whereworkers’ rights, including the right to collective bargaining and limited working hours, are stifled. A Europeanworking Conditions Survey found that 5% of respondents were subjected to bullying and/or harassment, and 6%reported threats of violence at work (8). As harassment and threats of violence lead to increased absenteeismand potential legal consequences for companies, it is vital that HR systems are in place to prevent such behaviors.Whistle-blowing and disciplinary measures are effective measures for promoting human rights in the workplace.

FAIR BUSINESS PRACTICES

Corruption & Bribery

Definition: Deals with all forms of corruption issues at work, including among other things extortion, bribery,conflict of interest, fraud, money laundering.

Sectorial issues: Corruption and bribery issues are major issues for any company, particularly when operating inrisk countries. Regulations such as the FCPA (Foreign Corrupt Practice Act) in the U.S. or the U.K. Bribery Actaddress these issues and make it unlawful to make payments to assist in obtaining or retaining business.Companies in this sector are exposed to risks related to corruption due the level of corruption and bribery thatexists in the metals sector (see also SUP 2). As the sector is engaged in manufacturing of products used forpublic works, there is also corruption risks related to public procurement contracts. Companies should developand implement effective anti-corruption training programs that address the impacts of bribery, and other forms ofcorruption, on markets and long term business costs. Any business ethics training program can be reinforced byan effective whistle-blowing procedure.

SUSTAINABLE PROCUREMENT

Suppliers & Environment



[email protected]


Page: 27/31



Definition: Deals with environmental issues within the supply chain i.e. environmental impacts generated from thesuppliers and subcontractors own operations and products.

Sectorial issues: Inherent risks associated with the processing of plastic are abundant and require effectivesustainable procurement programs to ensure sector sustainability. As mentioned in “Water”, the prevention ofnurdle emissions into water sources is a key sector issue which requires effective management throughout thesupply chain. Companies should monitor supplier transportation vehicles and handling systems to ensure thatlead sources are secured. Regarding product specifications, companies should require that suppliers comply withinternational standards regarding the manufacture of chemicals (e.g. REACH in EU). In addition, as plastic industryconsumes high quantities of oil-based, non renewable raw materials to manufacture new plastic resins,manufacturers of plastic products might look in their procurement process for alternative raw materials less oilconsuming (see also “Materials, Chemical and Waste”).

Suppliers & Social

Definition: Deals with labor practices and human rights issues within the supply chain i.e. labor practices andhuman rights issues generated from the suppliers and subcontractors own operations or products.

Sectorial issues: Given the manufacturing nature and the high risk locations of much of manufacturing activities,an effective sustainable procurement program is necessary to prevent labor, human rights and unethicalsituations from occurring in the supply chain. The manufacturing location, combined with the low-skilled,vulnerable social status of workers in the manufacturing labor market, human rights abuses, including poorworking conditions, the inability to join unions, creates a volatile supply chain that increases reputational andlogistical risks for companies. Social audits should be performed on manufacturing facilities located in identifiedhigh risk countries, and capacity building efforts established to scale labor and human rights managementpractices are also effective mitigation measures for plastic manufacturers.
