Bunge’s Environmental Sustainability Metrics (GR4)

EN3: Direct & Indirect Energy Consumption

EN8: Total Water Withdrawal

EN15: Total Direct Greenhouse Gas Emissions

EN16: Total Indirect Greenhouse Gas Emissions

EN18: Greenhouse Gas Emissions Intensity

EN23: Total Waste By Type & Disposal Method

EN31: Environmental Expenditures & Investments

Why Have a Sustainability Program?

Environmental Management & Compliance Benefits (Nexus)• Compliance Burdens are Lowered by Reducing Air Emissions, Waste

Water, and Wastes.

• Environmental Contamination Risks

There’s Money to be Saved• Improving Energy Efficiency Lowers Costs

• Reducing Water Usage and Waste Water Discharge Lowers Costs

• Reducing Waste Lowers Costs

Needed to Meet Customer Expectations• Answering Customer Questionnaires

Strengthen Corporate Reputation and Brand• Reporting & Disclosure (e.g., GRI Sustainability, CDP, etc.)

Page 14: The Nexus Between Sustainability and Environmental Management; Polak, Loren; Bunge North America; 2014 Mid-America Environmental Compliance Conference

14

What is Within the “Nexus”?

Reducing Waste Water can Reduce Discharged Pollutants, which can Improve Discharge Compliance and Reduce Discharge Costs

Improving Energy Efficiency Can Reduce Air Emissions and Can Reduce Emission Charges while Reducing Fuel and Electricity Cost

Reducing Waste Generation Reduces Disposal Costs

This not only makes Environmental Management Sense, it also makes Business Sense.

Improved Sustainability = Improved Environmental Management = Good Business Strategy
