4 | Foreword

In spring 2013 the European Commission released the Environmental Footprint Guides (for products and organisations) as part of the Communication Building the Single Market for Green Products. The initiative is based on the Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe that calls for a common methodology to assess, display and benchmark the environmental performance of products, services and companies. How environmental footprinting will be implemented in EU environmental policies is still open and will be decided after a 3 year pilot phase and the subsequent evaluation. Beyond political regulation the methodology offers an approach for producers and retailers to quantify, manage and communicate the environmental performance of products and product portfolio in a more comprehensive

and efficient way. To achieve this and allow for simplification further specifications need to be developed. The development process of product category rules and organisation sector rules is being tested in the pilot phase by several groups consisting of companies, business associations, NGOs, governmental organisations, academia and other stakeholders. The resulting category and sector rules of the pilot phase will become valid for the entire sector.

The pilot phase has already started with 17 pilot projects from the nonfood sector in November 2013 (1st wave of pilots). First results have already been presented in various public consultations. In the 2nd wave of pilot projects 7–10 groups from the food, drink and feed sector will start their work in June 2014.

Environmental Footprinting – A short introduction


The following sectors have applied to participate in the EU Environmental Footprint pilot process:

Beverage• beer• wine• bottled water• coffee• tea• dairy products

Food• meat• fish• uncooked pasta• fresh packaged citrus• canned fruits and vegetables• edible animal fats• oil (olive and seed)

Feed & other• animal feed• pet food

At the PEF Food Conference, experts from the relevant initiatives, sectors and organisations will be present to inform and discuss the most important and relevant issues on environmental footprinting and show possible ways to join or collaborate in the process.

We invite you to follow and join the discussion and use this window of opportunity to contribute to an initiative that offers the possibility to integrate life cycle thinking and the management of sustainability into everyday business.

Consumption of goods and services directly and indirectly contributes towards increasing global GHG emissions and additional negative environmental impacts. Efforts are being made to better understand, manage and reduce these emissions. Standards and tools for carbon and environmental footprinting as well as more comprehensive sustainability metrics are being developed, refined and practically tested.

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) World Forum * is a neutral platform where practical experiences and knowledge towards climateconscious and environmentally friendly consumption and production patterns are shared. It provides orientation in current standardisation and guidance processes. A focus is thereby placed on the EU Environmental Footprint Initiative and the associated pilot phase.

The PEF World Forum * creates and provides opportunities to discuss international corporate best practices and emerging tools to support environmentally friendly consumption models. Given the everincreasing number of initiatives globally, often with very little understanding on respective approaches and initiatives the international platform emerged. The ambition is to create dialogue rather than passive inaction.

The PEF World Forum * is an initiative by Berlin based thinkdotank THEMA1.

16:45 Parallel Tracks

▶ Track 1: Methodology workshop – PEF & ISO 14040

Chair: Michael OomsTechnical Helpdesk of the EU Environmental Footprint Pilot Phase & RDC

Mark Goedkoop Jan Christian Polanía GiesePré PEF World Forum

With the introduction of the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) Guide several questions have been raised regarding methodological issues and how PEF relates to the widespread LCA standard ISO 14040. This track is thought to touch on the discussion on similarities and differences as well as shortcomings and identify criticisms for both methodologies. The idea behind this session is to objectify the discussion on the PEF methodology and point at issues that should be treated during the pilot phase and looked at for potential revision.

16

About Michael OomsMichael is director of RDC Environment since 2006. With a degree in bio engineering, he has been working for more than 10 years on Life Cycle Assessment issues. He currently coordinates the technical helpdesk for the European Commission regarding the 3year pilot project PEF method. As an expert for ADEME (French Environment and Energy Management Agency), he is a member of the ISO TC207/SC7 committee, which has entitled him to actively participate in the working group of ISO 14067 and ISO 14069 standards on carbon footprint calculations for products and companies.

About Mark GoedkoopMark Goedkoop is partnership builder and business developer for PRé Consultants BV. He focuses on developing ways to help companies to embed lifecycle management procedures and LCA tools as a key decision support tool.

▶ Track 2: The rocky road to sustainable consumption – How to make consumers buy the right products?

Chair: Jacob Bilabel Martin BortzmeyerThinkDoTank THEMA1 & MEDDE, FranceInternational Network ofProduct Sustainability Initiatives (INPSI)

Luke Upchurch Daniel HiresConsumers International Carbon Disclosure Project

The discussion on the role of the consumer in regards to sustainable consumption is highly controversial. Is it a lack of understandable information, the absence of incentives or is it the products themselves that should be tackled or even removed from the market? The workshop addresses all three questions and aims at developing new ideas but also builds on the rich experience that has been made so far. The track will be opened with a general overview on environmental communication and the shared responsibilities. This will be complemented with input statements that refer to behavioural change, approaches from the creative industry and practical experience from the French Environmental Labelling pilot.

09:00 Keynote

▶ When will consumers trust your sustainable business claims? A critical view on environmental communication

Luke UpchurchConsumers International

Public trust is flux. Postfinancial crisis and in the face of huge concerns about corporate power, environmental degradation and growing inequality, consumers are increasingly looking for values, as well as value. Leading global corporations recognise these changes and are putting vast sums into marketing their corporate reputation and securing brand loyalty. But this migration of trust is volatile: as the digital age turns us all from passive to proactive consumers, businesses will need to do more if they are to secure enduring belief in their sustainability claims.

This keynote will look at how consumer values are changing, how trust can be won, and why sustainable business claims need much more than a good marketing plan.

About Luke UpchurchLuke holds overall responsibility for CI’s stakeholder relations, partnerships, networking initiatives, and digital presence. Luke has been working in the field of consumer rights for over 10 years and previously worked in corporate communications and as a journalist in Africa and Europe. His interests include sustainability, CSR, access to knowledge and digital empowerment. Luke is currently leading CI’s work on the migration of consumer trust and the impact of changing consumer behaviour in the digital age.


09:30 Retailer Response Forum – How to manage sustainability with big product portfolios?

▶ Experiences in the OEFSR retail pilot project from the perspective of an NGO

Martin WildenbergGlobal2000/ Friends of the Earth Austria

GLOBAL 2000 is one of the very few NGOs that take an active role in the EU Pilots. We will present first steps towards Organisation Environmental Footprint Sector Rules for the retail sector. The Pilot has been said to be the most challen ging one among the running pilots. Given the heterogeneity of the companies in this sector, the diversity and extent of the product portfolio, the challenge to develop a con sistent approach becomes obvious. Retailers are important “gatekeepers” between production and consumption. They influence upstream production by their purcha sing and downstream use by their marketing strategies. That is why they are often held responsible for unfavourable environmental or social effects of the products they sell. From a NGO perspective, a consistent, transparent and practicable approach for the assessment of the environmental impact of retailers is very important.

About Martin WildenbergWorking in an environmental NGO that is not contented with pointing at hotspots but also wants to take an active role in the development of solution strategies, Martin is leading the sustainability programme at GLOBAL 2000/Friends of the Earth Austria.Martin and his team work in the area of sustainable consumption and production, especially in and with the retail and agricultural sector. In the last years a system to access environmental footprints of agricultural products spanning the entire value chain has been set up and is used in cooperation with a large Austrian Retailer. Martin is a member of the technical secretariat of the OEFRetail Pilot.

▶ Reducing Environmental Footprinting through the Value Chain

Frederic Vermeiren Andreas CirothColruyt Group GreenDelta

Frederic will explain Colruyt’s role in the OEF Retail pilot. Besides the involvement in the sector rules Colruyt is also leading a complementary pilot Chain OEF where the emphasis is more on the practical implementation of OEF and PEF. The Chain OEF methodology aims at elaborating on environmental footprints of value chains: by asking companies to submit their primary data and connect with other value chain actors, they will be able to reduce the environmental footprint of their organisation, products and their value chains in a collaborative way. A European notfor profit foundation, called Revalue will be set up to manage this independent and open sourced industryrecognised collaboration platform. Its objective is to achieve an active environmental reduction economy. First case studies have been initiated and currently new test partners are being recruited. Andreas will refer to the development of the IT infrastructure that is conducted jointly with Quantis, University of Ghent and other European experts.

About Frederic VermeirenFrederic Vermeiren graduated in 2007 as an Environmental Engineer from the University of Ghent (Master of Science in Bioscience Engineering ). In 2008 Frederic started his professional career at the Research Institute for Forest and Nature (INBO) and participated in the water budget modelling during the FutMon project (Life+). After two years Frederic joined Colruyt Group, a mayor Belgian retailer, where he works at the department of Energy, Environment and Advanced Techno logies as a project engineer primarily focusing on sustainability, footprinting and water management. In 20112012 Frederic participated in the test of the draft methodologies OEF and PEF of the European Commission.

About Andreas CirothAndreas Ciroth is founder and director of GreenDelta, a consulting and software company that focuses on sustainability assessment and life cycle analyses. Environmental engineer by education, he finished his PhD (error calculation in LCA) in 2001 at TU Berlin and is working since then in sustainability consulting in research, industry, and policy contexts.

Euan has a BA in Natural Sciences and an MSc. in Materials Science & Metallurgy from Cambridge University, UK.

▶ Sustainability assessment at scale – dealing with large supplier networks and large product portfolios

Rupert LangeSAP

How can sustainability assessments scale up to large supplier networks or large product portfolios? Not surprisingly, one lever to facilitate scale is standardization of the methodology being applied. Another one is tapping into the “systems of record” to avoid the risks associated with remodelling the company. The presentation will give evidence from realworld examples and provide an outlook on how software systems could evolve to provide an integrated view of the business.

About Rupert LangeAs development architect, Rupert Lange researches ways of embedding sustainability dimensions into core operational and analytical business processes and how enterprise software systems can be leveraged or augmented for this purpose. Prior to his current role, Rupert worked as a consultant for Corporate EHS/Sustainability Reporting and large scale organizational and product footprinting.

11:30 Country Response Forum

▶ Update on the French environmental footprinting programme and the role of France in the PEF programme pilot phase in the food sector

Martin BortzmeyerMinistry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy, France

After the French Environmental Labelling Pilot and the associated evaluation, France is now revising the main document BPX 30 3230 and discussing further steps. As a member of several pilot projects France contributes directly to the Environmental Footprint pilot process. In his presentation Martin will describe recent advancements on methods and databases with a special focus on the food and drink sector and conclude with a perspective on the PEF/OEF process.

About Martin BortzmeyerIn the French Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable development and Energy, Martin is responsible of the “agricultural unit”, in the department dedicated to methods for sustainable development. He is in charge of the environmental assessment of the agricultural policies and farming. This unit is a centre of expertise and initiates these issues in the ministry. Martin and his team publish studies in the economic and agronomic field and carry out efforts of persuasion towards the Ministry of Agriculture. One of the highpriority issues is the identification of agroenvironmental indicators. This has led to the French environmental labelling project for food products.


▶ PEF – the German government’s contribution

Ulf JaeckelFederal Ministry for Environment, Germany

Ulf Jaeckel will present and describe the participation of the Federal Ministry for the Environment in the PEF Pilot Phase. Thereby Ulf will first present outcomes of the ongoing research project on PEF conducted by the Technical University Berlin and then point at challenges and issues to tackle.

▶ Environmental footprinting in the food sector – what are the key aspects?

Anita LundströmSwedish Environmental Protection Agency

A product lifecycle perspective from seed to waste is necessary in order to get safe, healthy and environmentally sound products. Facts on environmental implications throughout the food chain could help us find the road to a more resourceefficient food supply chain. Can existing certification systems contribute to Environmental Footprinting? This issue will be highlighted by relevant examples.

About Anita LundströmAnita Lundström is senior adviser at the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, Policy Development Department. She has longterm experience in the field of sustainable consumption and production and on environmental impacts related to food and the food supply chain.

12:30 Business perspectives 2: Food and drink pilot projects and first conclusions & experiences from the first wave

▶ Lessons learned from the laundry detergents pilot


The liquid laundry detergent pilot project started working November 2013. First hurdles are taken and the number of stakeholders involved in the process for the development of product environmental footprint category rules (PEFCRs) has extensively grown. Besides detergent producers (including SMEs), producers of washing machines, members of the apparel sector and others are consulted. In such a multidisciplinary group communication is key. In his presentation Guido will refer to that issue and furthermore update on the current status and the way ahead.

Further contributors are announced at the day of the conference.

The Venue & Network Dinner

Impressions from past Network Dinners

34 | The Venue & Network Dinner

Welcome to the Bildungsstätte on Schwanenwerder

Situated on the idyllic island of Schwanenwerder between the river Havel and Wannsee the villa is surrounded by a historically landmarked park. Being far off from the pulse of the city the location and the picturesque surrounding provide a sense of being in nature yet the villa is in close proximity to Berlins city centre.

This setting provides the perfect atmosphere for the PEF Food Conference, leaving room for both indepth thematic discussions and presentations, numerous opportunities of intensive dialogues and networking opportunities with other fellow PEF Food Conference participants during dinner in this inspiring environment.

The cooks on the premise only use fresh and carefully selected ingredients that are in season, local and certified organic. The meal that will be served during the PEF Food Conference Dinner will be a vegetarian option.
