The Awareness Inflection Point?

Oslo, 10 December 07:

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate

Change and Albert Arnold (Al) Gore Jr. were

awarded ofthe Nobel Peace Prize "for their

efforts to build up and disseminate greater

knowledge about man-made climate change

and to lay the foundations for the measures thatare needed to counteract such change.

(Triple Bottom Line) How much does your company, your suppliers, your products, and

do you personally emit (Tons of CO2/year)?

Carbon Calculators based on Standards are emerging

Company/Buildings/Products are being assessed

Analytical, Certification, and Auditing services are emerging

Carbon Trading Schemes have emerged

Cap and Trade

buy and trade credits of Carbon emissions (RECs, TRCs)

get taxed on your emissions? (San Francisco started already)

Companies specifying Green Choice electricity from Utilities

Wind farms, PV, and even Nuclear is in a gold rush The Triple Bottom Line has emerged

A competing Building Certification

system from GBI/Green Globes

The Green Globes software tools and ratings/certification system are based on the recognized and

proven Green Globes assessment protocol, thus environmental impact is comprehensively assessedon a 1,000 point scale in multiple categories: Energy, Indoor Environment, Site Impact,

Water, Resources, Emissions, and Project/Environmental Management.

Green Globes is a revolutionary green building guidance and assessment program that integrates

a comprehensive environmental assessment protocol, software tools, qualified assessors with green

building expertise, and a rating/certification system. Together, this combination of tools and services

integrate to offer an effective, practical and affordable way to advance the overall environmental

performance and sustainability of buildings.

GHG Protocol Initiative

The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) is the most widelyused international accounting tool for government and businessleaders to understand, quantify, and manage greenhouse gas

emissions. The GHG Protocol, a decade-long partnership between theWorld Resources Institute and the World Business Council for SustainableDevelopment, is working with businesses, governments, and environmentalgroups around the world to build a new generation of credible and effectiveprograms for tackling climate change.

Too many standards competing for

Offset Markets?

Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)Gold Standard (GS)Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS)VER+The Voluntary Offset Standard (VOS)

Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX)The Climate, Community & Biodiversity Standards(CCBS)Plan Vivo System

The voluntary offset market is awash with competing standards.This report shows that no other standard can ensure the sameenvironmental and social integrity as the GoldStandardhttp://www.tricorona.com/news/98/ (published March10, 2008).

Beyond Company behavior/attributes

and Building Green-ness lies LCA

http://lca.jrc.ec.europa.eu/lcainfohub/toolList.vm

GaBi 4.2 (Just one of many tools available)

PE International GmbH

Life cycle management (LCM), Compliance checks, Life cycle assessment (LCA), Life

cycle inventory (LCI), Life cycle work environment (LCWE), Product stewardship,

supply chain management, Life cycle impact assessment (LCIA), Life cycle

sustainability assessment (LCS), Life cycle costing (LCC), Design for environment

(DfE, DfR), Life cycleengineering (LCE), Substance/material flow analysis (SFA/MFA)

Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, Danish, Thai, Chinese, German, English

Companies (like Walmart) are now focusing on Product emissions

Expect your products to eventually need emissions per item to be disclosed

UL is continually enhancing its

environmental service offerings

Established Service Offerings (Analytical,

Certification, and Auditing Services) Training and Education (QMS and Legislation/Requirements)

Added all Global Legislation emerging to RoHS and WEEE

Added Batteries, Packaging, EUP, REACH, ELV, etc. Planning and Consulting (deciding what to do that meets the

requirements in the shortest time and for the lowest cost)

Execution (XRF testing, Analytical Testing, Product Certification,

QMS Assessments, Installation of QMS, Water Analysis/Certification,

Wind/Solar performance testing and certification)

Continuing Improvement and Surveillance (QMS review and

Product testing) to insure continuing compliance


39/40

p 39

Environmental Stewardship Mark

from UL coming

Based on Pillars (product attributes) Energy efficiency and reduction

Materials (RoHS, WEEE, REACH, etc.)

Company Environmental Management practices

(ISO14001/64/65, etc.)

Supply Chain (contribution to overall environmental

performance from supply chain)

LCA, GHG evaluations (systems repeatable, scalable,based on international standards)

Water Certification (for applicable products)


40/40

p 40

Conclusion: Where are we headed?

Environmental Compliance is gaining strengthand is now part of ones Market AccessStrategy

The Triple Bottom Line is becoming the norm:

Profit is good, but it must be accompanied bydoing good things with the environment, andprotecting people in the community

Each Company will need to step back, decide

what from the long list of items could betackled, and then tackle them

Look for ULs Environmental Stewardship Markin the near future
