From the Jury Chairman l 3

Industry – among the greatest organizers of human activity – bears an awesome responsibility forachieving definitive pathways to sustainable development. The WEC Gold Medal Award wasestablished to publicly acknowledge exceptional corporate achievement in sustainable development as

a means to stimulate the spread of innovative best practices and reward environmental stewardshipamong multinational corporations.

Since the Award’s inception in 1984, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has gained irreversiblemomentum under the rubric of sustainable development. Recognizing this trend, the WEC Board ofDirectors expanded the WEC’s Award criteria in 2000 to fully encompass the principles of sustainability.Corporate policies must demonstrate an integrated approach to economic and social responsibility andinclude in their implementation key components of CSR such as consistent worldwide standards andcommitted stakeholder engagement processes.

At the start of the new millennium, industry faces an ever-increasing and evolving set of economic,environmental and social challenges. Over the last twenty years, multinational companies receiving the WECGold Medal Award continuously remind us of the tremendous opportunities for innovation to be found insuch challenges as they strive for success.

In the pages that follow, each of our Gold Medal Awardees shares its major achievements in Environment,Health and Safety (EH&S) and most recent advances towards sustainable development. Our Awardees havebuilt upon the exceptional accomplishments for which they were honored over the last twenty years and aresetting the pace for environmental and social standards in their particular sector.

It has been such an honor – both personal and professional – to serve as Jury Chairman. Over the pasttwenty years, I have observed how leadership companies work to surpass regulatory compliance and engagein sustainable development, as evidenced by the increasing number of impressive submissions the Juryreceives each year. The WEC Gold Medal Program has played a significant role in raising corporatestandards and norms across industry sectors and the larger community.

I wish to thank our esteemed panel of Jury members, both past and present, who donated their expertise andunique scientific, academic, policy and private sector perspectives to this complex process. The Jury alsobenefits each year from the contributions made by a senior representative from the prior year’s AwardeeCompany. The steadfast and dedicated service of our independent Jury has helped in important ways to shapethis program and maintain high standards.

I offer congratulations to all of these deserved companies and commend their foresight, global vision andcommitment to the pursuit of sustainable economic development.

From the Chairman of the Board

2 l WEC Gold Medal 20th Anniversary Album

The role of multinationals in society is changing at an accelerating pace. Sustainable development – whetherat the global or local level – depends on meaningful cooperation between communities and thegovernments, industries, development agencies, international organizations and NGOs that support growth

and the creation of wealth.

Pfizer has been a part of this change over its 150-year history and we’re still finding new ways to playimportant roles in the many diverse communities where we operate and serve. The vital nature of theserelationships is now the determining factor in whether the world can find ways to use its natural resourcesresponsibly and in an ecologically sustainable manner.

The World Environment Center has been a quiet force for change since being established thirty years ago bythe United Nations Environment Programme. Flexible WEC programs offer assistance to participating topexecutives from major multinational corporations in navigating the complexities of this changing globaldevelopment paradigm.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2004, the independently awarded WEC Gold Medal for InternationalCorporate Achievement in Sustainable Development continues to raise the bar on global standards forcorporate sustainability performance in the areas of policy, implementation, and leadership. Since 1977, theWEC’s International Environment Forum (IEF) has provided a unique bridge for multi-sector dialog byfacilitating high-level peer exchanges and collaborations between industry, government, academia, and awide range of stakeholders.

WEC capacity building projects, conducted jointly through partnerships around the world, help disseminateexpertise in cleaner production, resource stewardship, risk management, and energy and water efficiency whereit can do the most good. Industry-led initiatives launched by the IEF, such as Global Corporate Citizenship,examine how multinationals are approaching Corporate Social Responsibility and working to implementsustainable development concepts in worldwide operations, and across far-flung supplier networks.

We owe a special debt of gratitude to our Board members, IEF Senior Corporate Delegates, partners andfriends, both past and present, whose support, guidance and commitment have sustained and enhanced theCenter’s work over the years. Additional financial and programmatic support from the U.S. Agency forInternational Development provides key linkages, enabling the WEC’s environmental programs to have agreater social and economic impact.

WEC means solutions. As Chairman of the Board, I have witnessed the formation of key relationships under theauspices of WEC meetings and working groups. I am proud to be associated with the industry executives andenvironmental decision makers involved with the WEC. Together, there is no limit to what we can accomplish.

On behalf of our Board of Directors and dedicated staff, I invite you to learn more about the activities ofthe WEC – a catalyst for solutions since 1974.

established a pioneering technical assistance andtraining program available to industry indeveloping countries. From 1992 to 1998,immediately following the fall of the Berlin Wall,WEC engineers and participating industry expertscontributed to a dramatic transformation of keyindustry sectors in Central and Eastern Europe.

The WEC and USAID, together with otherinternational aid donors, successfully deliveredmore than $40 million to recipients in the newlyindependent countries of Central and EasternEurope and the former Soviet Union. Programactivities included best practices training seminarsand conferences, technical assistance outreach,informational exchanges and site visits, and thedelivery of environmental equipment grants basedon waste minimization and energy efficiencytechnical assessments.

WEC capacity building programs, originally calledthe International Environment and DevelopmentService (IEDS), have extended services andenvironmental expertise to production facilitiesacross the developing world to identify pollutionproblems and recommend solutions. Often relyingon volunteer experts provided by IEF companies, theWEC successfully established one of the firsttechnology transfer mechanisms for matchingprivate sector expertise to environmental needs indeveloping countries.

WEC projects were each designed to generate datathat were used in case studies to clearly demonstratehow significant economic savings andenvironmental benefits could be achieved throughsmall capital investments. These capitalimprovements routinely achieved payback periods ofless than two years, often within just a three to six-month time frame. The WEC also conductednumerous emergency preparedness and crisismanagement training programs in Latin America,South East Asia and the Pacific Rim.

The Center is perhaps best known in Eastern Europefor successfully establishing eleven self-sustaininginstitutions – Pollution Prevention Centers (PPCs) –providing environmental management andconsulting services in Bulgaria, Czech Republic,Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania andSlovakia with three in Poland. Today, PPCs continueto provide vital services to environmentalprofessionals from industry and government. ManyPPCs operate as independent for-profit ventures.One merger has occurred between the WEC andUNEP/UNIDO centers in Slovakia.

Looking ahead, the Center seeks to integrate theproven methodology of best practices andenvironmental management systems into globalcorporations’ continuing efforts to achieveoperational efficiencies through new managementapproaches. In 2002, the WEC launched a globalpublic-private partnership, spearheaded by majormultinational corporations, for the promotion ofsustainable development principles and practicesamong small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)in the developing world.

With an initial focus in Central and South Americaand Asia, the WEC’s ‘Greening the Supply Chain’program seeks to work through cleaner production,energy efficiency and supply chain environmentalmanagement processes already in place at majormultinationals. One of this program’s central goals isto optimize production processes at SMEs so as toreduce waste and pollution generation at its sourcewhile cultivating a culture of cleaner productioninnovation and environmental responsibility amongSME customers and suppliers in developing countries.

Governments and non-governmentalorganizations are rethinking industry’s rolein sustainable development. Multinational

corporations now account for the majority ofprivate cross-border investment and more thanone third of all global trade. Concurrently,concerns for the environment are increasinglybeing reflected in multi- and bilateral tradeagreements, international regimes, and policies atthe national level, all of which can affect acompany’s license to operate. In particular, therole of multinational corporations as producers,consumers, and direct investors in infrastructure,capital, and training overseas is being viewed ascritical to growth in the developing world.

The World Environment Center seeks to meet thechallenges of globalization head-on. Established withseed funding from the United Nations EnvironmentProgramme (UNEP), the WEC’s initial mandate wasto help achieve the goals of the StockholmDeclaration by increasing public understanding ofinternational environmental issues, and the role ofthe UN and the international community inachieving them.

Dr. Whitman Bassow, aprominent journalist andformer internationalcorrespondent forNewsweek, originallyfounded the WEC as the‘Center for InternationalEnvironmentInformation’ and servedas the organization’s firstpresident. Dr. Bassowworked as special assistant

to Maurice Strong, then Executive Director of theUNEP and Chairman of the 1972 UN Conferenceon the Human Environment in Stockholm, wherethe two conceived of the Center together.

From its inception, the WEC was constituted as anon-advocacy, non-profit organization devoted tocatalyzing high-level dialog and collaborations insupport of sustainable environmental solutions. Its

Board of Directors continues to be drawn fromenvironmental professionals and executives ingovernment, industry, academia and theinternational NGO community.

The Center’s first programs consisted of such effortsas the World Environment Report, a publication onenvironmental developments around the worldusing services of international journalists. Otherprograms included a series of luncheon meetings atthe United Nations to discuss internationalenvironmental developments.

These programs led to the establishment of theInternational Environment Forum (IEF) in 1977,with an initial group of 13 corporations. The IEFbecame well known as an innovative and usefulforum for bringing together government officials,industry executives and others for frank discussionsabout current environmental issues and trends.

In its second decade, the Center launched two globalprograms still in operation today. In 1985, formerU.S. EPA Administrator William D. Ruckelshausawarded the first annual WEC Gold Medal Award,then for International Corporate EnvironmentalAchievement, to 3M’s Chairman and Chief ExecutiveOfficer Lewis W. Lehr. Proceeds from the dinnerwent to support Project Aftermath, an industryinitiative created and administered by the Center inresponse to the Bhopal tragedy in 1984.

Project Aftermath provided mitigation assistance andsafety training to environmental and emergencyresponse professionals on the ground, as well asother positive actions to help avert such accidents inthe future. Whitman Bassow remarked of theprogram, “It is particularly important, after theBhopal accident, that environmental organizationsacknowledge there are environmental leaders in thecorporate world. It provides the necessary balancefor the dialogue to continue between all thoseconcerned with responsible environmentalmanagement, everywhere in the world.”

That same year, following extended discussionswith the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Agencyfor International Development (USAID), the WEC

History of the WEC – A Catalyst for Solutions

Excellence is a measure of achievement that must be constantly revised. The followingpages reveal the ongoing commitment of 20 award-winning companies and their effortsto date to build upon their successes in the new millennium.

The leadership multinational corporations described in this volume present their visions of asustainable future, where the needs of the present are met without compromising the promiseof the future.

Twenty years later wefind that all twenty WEC Awardee Companies continue to lead and inspire their industrysectors and the entire global business community.

The Center wishes to acknowledge the vision and foresight of the WEC’s first president, Dr.Whitman Bassow, and also Dr. Joseph T. Ling of 3M, recognized worldwide as the father ofpollution prevention, for their important contributions to the development of the Center’ssignature program.

The Center also recognizes Mr. James G. Veras and Mr. Antony G. Marcil, both formerpresidents of the WEC, each of whom made major contributions to the Gold Medal program.Antony Marcil’s innovations kept the program on firm footing, while Jim Veras’ renowned driveand management expertise helped maintain a high level of integrity and quality year to year.

This commemorative album is dedicated to all of the outstanding men and women at theseexceptional companies and to the early leadership of the WEC, who had the vision to create anddevelop the Gold Medal Award.

Introduction to the Album

Introduction to the Album l 76 l WEC Gold Medal 20th Anniversary Album

This year marks the 20th occasion that theWorld Environment Center recognizes andcelebrates the leadership of key multinational

corporations as they promote the concepts of asustainable society by example, word and deed. Eightyears before the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, theCenter’s prescient Board and management realizedthe important role multinational corporations playon a daily basis in the actualization of sustainabledevelopment on a global scale.

Furthering the WEC’s mission of forging links between diversestakeholders and encouragingenvironmental excellence inindustry, the WEC Board ofDirectors decided to create anaward to recognize the talents,efforts and example of thesecompanies. The WEC Awardwas one of the first examples ofpublic recognition for industry’sglobal environmentalaccomplishments andleadership. It remains a uniqueand universally respectedmeasure of industry’scommitment to sustainabledevelopment.

The WEC Gold Medal ispresented annually by an independent panel ofinternational environmental experts to a privateenterprise – a multinational manufacturing,processing or service corporation – with an outstanding, creative, sustained and well-implemented global environmental policy andinnovative programs and projects that stimulatenations and industry to enhance and protect theenvironment. The Jury may withhold the WECGold Medal in any year in which none of thenominees meets the stated criteria.

Multinational companies are invited to submitdetails of their global vision and evidence of afocused mission informed by sustainabledevelopment; innovative applications of policy andpractices; examples of international leadership inthe discharge of their economic, environmental and

social responsibilities; and a Signature Contribution.

The WEC Gold Medal criteria have been constantlyupdated to reflect evolving trends and practices andto continuously raise the baseline of expectationsand stimulate even higher levels of excellence andcorporate achievement. In 2001, the WEC Board ofDirectors reissued the award criteria and renamedit the WEC Gold Medal for International CorporateAchievement in Sustainable Development.

Acceptance of the WEC GoldMedal Award constitutes notonly public recognition forpast achievements but alsoadherence by the Recipient tomaintaining and improving itsleadership in EH&S andCorporate SocialResponsibility. An internationalpanel of experts from variousdisciplines, independent of theWEC and its programs, has for20 years carefully assessed eachsubmission against suchcomplex criteria.

The Signature Contribution iskey – it demonstrates thecorporation’s leadershipthrough creative, cutting-edge

approaches to sustainable development. Ideally,the Signature Contribution sets a newinternational benchmark and exemplifies the scaleand impact of the company’s vision, and hasentailed initiatives, programs or products that arecoherently linked to the corporation’senvironmental and social responsibility.

Signature initiatives recognized over the years havebeen as diverse as the Awardee Companiesthemselves. They include outstandingenvironmental policy implementation;occupational health and safety; worldwideenvironmental monitoring; pollution prevention;environmental toxicology; recycling and wastereduction; land reclamation and conservation;environmental education and awareness; andDesign for Environment.

Helping the environment. That’s our job.People spend as much as one-half of their time on the job and in their cars. The vehicles theydrive and the buildings in which they work account for a vast share of the world’s energyconsumption and have profound effects on the environment.

Our people help the environment every time they go to work. The products we make and theservices we sell help customers save energy, reduce pollution, waste less and recycle more.

In office buildings, schools, hospitals, factories and stores, our control systems and servicesimprove energy efficiency. In the United States alone, energy efficiency projects implementedby Johnson Controls since 1990 are expected to produce energy savings for customers of $95billion and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1.3 billion tons by 2020.

We help building owners improve indoor air quality, use environmentally safe supplies, recyclematerials and equipment, and handle wastes safely and responsibly. Johnson Controls helped theU.S. Green Buildings Council create a green-building rating system. Now, we help customersconstruct and certify green buildings.

In our automotive interiors business, we’re working to help improve the environmentalperformance of cars. We look for ways to reduce the weight of seats and other interior systemswithout compromising safety, which helps reduce a vehicle’s fuel consumption. We’vedeveloped environmentally friendly products like Eco-Cor®, an advanced material made fromrecycled fibers that can be used in vehicle instrument panels, overhead systems and door liners.

Johnson Controls has helped make automotive batteries a showcase for the benefits of reuseand recycling. Today, more than 90 percent of all used automotive batteries are recycled – themost recycled consumer product in the United States.

Social responsibilityJohnson Controls provides 118,000 jobs at more than 500 locations worldwide. Our goal is tomake Johnson Controls a safer, healthier place to work, year after year in every part of theworld. The effort pays off. Lost-time injuries at United States facilities, for example, havedecreased by half since 1995.

On-going diversity initiatives support an inclusive workplace and help Johnson Controlsreflect the communities and the customers it serves.

We widen the circle in other ways, too. As the first large corporation tosign “e-mission 55,” a global environmental proclamation, we cleared theway for other corporations to join. We have also added our support to anumber of environmental NGOs in vital reforestation projects; we areinvolved in no fewer than ten such projects around the world.

Embracing Corporate CitizenshipFor many years, we have worked to be not only an appealing andreliable company, but also a good corporate citizen. Corporatecitizenship can be an amorphous concept, which is why we havecodified it within the company.

We were among the first companies to create a Corporate SocialResponsibility Division. This Division is responsible for the RicohGroup CSR Charter and the Ricoh Group Code of Conduct, which govern all Ricoh Group members when developing company activitieson a global level.

As a result, every employee of the Ricoh Group knows the meaning andimportance of social responsibility, and has reason to be proud of his orher contributions.

Our PurposeTo constantly create new valuefor the world at the interface ofpeople and information

Our GoalTo be a good global corporate citizenwith reliability and appeal

Our PrinciplesTo think as an entrepreneur To put ourselves in the otherperson’s place To find personal value in our work

Preserving This Rich and Beautiful PlanetA Vision of Better Sustainable ManagementIn recent years, it has become increasingly clear that human activities are threatening the life-sustaining abilities of the planet.

In order to preserve the Earth for future generations, we believe that corporate activities mustbe structured to lessen the impact on the environment. This is why we have committedourselves to sustainable management in every aspect of our business.

For us, sustainable management means reducing the impact on the environment whileensuring profitability. Our corporate and management philosophies call for the participation of every person in improving business processes; the advancement of environmentallyconscious technologies; and working within environmental management systems.

Environmental conservation, profitability and social responsibility are the three pillars of asound and trusted global corporation. We have put much effort into all three, and willcontinue to do so.

Widening the CircleVirtually everyone with whom we do business gets involved in environmental conservation inone way or another. Our model of sustainable management is based on a concept we call theComet Circle. This is a graphic representation of a society that recirculates resources, and forus it also represents partnerships with customers, suppliers and contractors.

Our customers become involved when they make the decision to seek out and supportenvironmentally conscious technologies. We encourage our suppliers to get involved by settingup their own environmental management systems, and giving them hands-on help when theyneed it. In addition, we share green procurement guidelines and environmentally conscioustechnologies with all our business partners.

Technologies can indeed make sense both for customers’ needs and for the environment. Oneexample is our advanced energy-saving technologies. Another example is our reconditioneddigital copiers, which on a mass ratio consist almost entirely of used parts. We make as manyof our products as possible environmentally friendly; with that aim, we have achieved zerowaste to landfill at all of our major production sites worldwide.

Social ResponsibilityCEMEX places a strong emphasis on social responsibilitybased on a deep and profound concern for the interests ofits stakeholders. Significant programs are underway incommunity outreach, conservation and environmentalstewardship. CEMEX supports a wide range of wildlifeconservation projects with universities, several conservationorganizations, and other institutions. To date, almost 40projects concerning highly biodiverse ecosystems in tencountries around the world have been established. Theseefforts include reforestation, wildlife managementprograms, scientific research, the reintroduction andpreservation of local native species, and quarriesrestoration. A striking example of this goal is the El CarmenProject in Northern Mexico along the Mexico-United Statesborder that highlights international cooperation in thepreservation and conservation of a uniquely bio-diverseecosystem for present and future generations.

But community outreach programs extend well beyondenvironmental initiatives. In Asia, Europe, the Americasand the Caribbean, CEMEX has initiated and contributedto numerous and far-reaching social programs, includingdisaster relief, solid waste disposal, infrastructureimprovements, environmental awareness, and a variety ofcommunity health projects. CEMEX has also initiated adynamic and comprehensive environmental educationprogram involving all constituencies.

Cement Sustainability InitiativeCEMEX is one of the multinational cement companiescurrently participating in a Cement Sustainability Initiativein coordination with the World Business Council forSustainable Development (WBCSD). The initiative is

based on the results of the Toward a Sustainable CementIndustry study commissioned with the WBCSD. CEMEX´sefforts to achieve a sustainable future are being continuedconcurrently in all its operations.

Given a clear dependence upon natural resources, companiesin the cement industry are working together to embrace theconcepts and principles of sustainable development. To meetthe needs of people living today without compromising theability of future generations to meet their own, sustainabledevelopment requires a long-term vision of industrialprogress, preserving the foundations upon which humanquality of life depends: respect for basic human needs andlocal and global ecosystems.

Six Key AreasThe ten initial participating companies in the CementSustainability Initiative have identified six key areas wherewe believe a significant contribution can be made over thenext five years toward achieving a more sustainable society:

• Climate Protection

• Fuels and Raw Materials

• Employee Health and Safety

• Emissions Reductions

• Local Impact

• Internal Business Processes

Our companyAs a leading global producer and marketer of cementand ready-mix concrete, CEMEX is helping its clientsbuild their future, providing them with the best cementproducts and building solutions services in the industry.CEMEX has operations in the most dynamicinternational markets across four continents, employsmore than 24,000 people with an unwaveringcommitment to customer satisfaction, employee well-being, community outreach, environmental stewardshipand shareholder value creation.

CEMEX is guided by the philosophy and operational goalthe company refers to as “In Harmony with Nature”. Thisphilosophy has been translated into specific actions in theform of an eco-efficiency program, internationalenvironmental education, and numerous significant sociallyresponsible outreach efforts. In addition, the company isapplying a global approach to setting and meeting strongcompany-wide environmental standards and in achievingbalance throughout its worldwide operations.

Over the last decade, CEMEX experienced a consistentperiod of growth through geographic diversification. In fact,CEMEX successfully integrated its outstandingenvironmental systems into its strategy for corporate growth.

EHS CEMEX PolicyAt CEMEX, accident prevention, safeguarding employeehealth, and environmental protection are integral parts ofour business philosophy.

It is a matter of policy at CEMEX that all of its companyoperations be safe for its personnel, communities, andthe environment.

Therefore, CEMEX’s business units must be committedto eco-efficiency and continuous improvement byimplementing steps toward sustainable development.This represents the balance among business operatingeconomies, environmental protection, and corporatesocial responsibility.

The Board of Directors and CEO have endorsed thispolicy, this ensures implementation throughout thecompany and its worldwide operations.

Our strategy for Sustainable Development iscomposed of three primary actions:

• Employ cutting-edge technology in our operational processes in order to ensure energy efficiency and theoptimum use of raw materials;

• Promote a culture of Environmental Awareness, IntegralHealth, and Safety within the company and thecommunity, in accordance with our principle that “Wetake care of those things we know”;

• Use the most effective equipment and systems tosafeguard our people, neighboring communities,equipment and environment.

EHS StandardsAs a corporation actively acquiring new businesses,CEMEX has established a process termed post-merger integration (PMI). A PMI plan is developed andimplemented to quickly bring the new facility up toworld-class EHS standards. In January 1997, CEMEXestablished an EHS Steering Committee comprised oftop level CEMEX executives. Under the guidance of theCommittee, CEMEX created unique tools that are usedto ensure health and safety at existing facilities as well asto upgrade and improve performance and safety atnewly acquired facilities.

CEMEX created a global monitoring and trackingdatabase system for all its facilities, which is unique to theindustry. The system provides indicators and relevanthealth and safety facts online from every CEMEX plant.By using these tools, CEMEX has been able to reduce theannual rate of accidents from 4.2 percent in 1996 to 1.6percent in 2003. Almost one half of CEMEX’s plantsworldwide have achieved an accident rate of less than onepercent. Additionally, newly constructed facilities aredesigned and built to provide state-of-the-art capabilitiesin energy efficiency and emissions control. Continuousperformance improvement and innovation areestablished practice for CEMEX.

Eco-efficiency ProgramAn important part of our sustainable developmentstrategy is our eco-efficiency program.

Eco-efficiency reflects our efforts to optimize energy andraw material efficiency to produce an economic andecological benefit derived from a reduction of ourenvironmental impact. Formally launched in 1994, oureco-efficiency program leverages our people’s technicalexperience and ability to capitalize on opportunities thatfoster our profitability and sustainable development. Sinceits inception, the eco-efficiency program’s estimatedeconomic benefits total more than US$75 million.

In fact, this National Marine Sanctuaryforms the most northerly reef on the U.S.continental shelf.

Which is why, when Shell went looking for oil and natural gas inthis region, we looked for help from Jim Ray – a marine biologistand Shell employee.

For some thirty years now, Jim and others just like him have been

working to protect this magnificent areaand other sensitive marine environments.

They’re providing a habitat for allmanner of marine life, so everyone fromecologists to schoolteachers has theopportunity to study this wonderfulworld firsthand.

Because at Shell, we focus on energy but that’s not our only focus.To find out more, see the Shell Report at www.shell.com

Waves of change

Contributing to sustainable development: Putting words into actionShell is driven by its core values – honesty, integrity and respect for people. In 1997 werevised our Business Principles to include a commitment to contribute to sustainabledevelopment. As a global energy company, producing more than 3% of the world’s oil andgas, this was not a step we took lightly.

We did it in response to important changes in our business environment: a loss of trust in business, and a growing worry about the long-term social and environmental sustainability of today’s economic development.

Also, we saw the business value to be gained from sustainable development.

Contributing to sustainable development provides us with new insight into all aspects of ourbusiness. It is like looking through a new lens, helping us understand and better manage thefull range of impacts – positive and negative – that our operations, supply chain andproducts have on society and the environment.

In practice, it means acting to:

Meet the energy challenge.By far our biggest contribution to sustainable development comes from providing the extraenergy needed for development, including more oil and natural gas, without increasingpollution to levels that harm health or threaten vital natural systems. By offering customerscleaner products (for example natural gas to replace coal, low-sulphur petrol, or hydrogenfor new fuel cell vehicles) we work to reduce the impacts from energy use. We are alsohelping with the long-term shift to lower-carbon alternatives, such as biofuels for transportand wind and solar power.

Continually improve environmental performance in ways that make business sense.For example, we have launched a major energy efficiency programme – Energise™- that is running at 12 Shell sites and will be operating at all major locations by 2007. In 1998, we introduced a voluntary greenhouse gas reduction target and a pilot emission trading system.In 2003, we became the first energy company to commit not to explore or develop in naturalWorld Heritage Sites.

Continually improve social performance.This means reducing disruptive impacts of our activities and generating benefits for communitiesand societies where we work. We have achieved leading performance, for example on ourAthabasca Oil Sands project in Canada, where we have forged a long-term partnership with theneighbouring native community to protect their culture and help hire local staff and use localbusinesses. Plans are now in progress to achieve this everywhere we operate.

Live by our core values.This means behaving with integrity, including obeying our long-standing ban on political payments, bribery and facilitation payments.

Be transparent.Honesty about our successes and failures is critical to building trust and maintaining themomentum of change. For the last six years, we have reported our economic, social andenvironmental performance in The Shell Report.

Society’s concerns about sustainability will continue, as will its insistence that business contributesto sustainable development. We have great confidence that our sustainable development lens willhelp us identify the opportunities, avoid the pitfalls and run a profitable business that creates solidgrowth in shareholder value.

Health, Safety, and Environmental Responsibilityis fundamental to Kodak’s culture.

More than 100 years of global responsibility

Kodak’s culture stems from a long history of considerationfor health, safety, and the environment. Our charter mem-bership in the U.S. National Safety Council began in 1912,followed by the establishment of a Medical Department in1914. In 1936, a laboratory of industrial medicine and toxi-cology was formed to investigate the impact of our prod-ucts. In 1974, we built—and still operate today—theworld’s first methanolysis plant for recycling of PET plastic(used for X-ray and motion picture film products).

In 1999, we announced a series of aggressive, voluntary,worldwide environmental goals.Over a five-year time peri-od,we sought to reduce emissions to the environment andconserve natural resources.Our results were excellent:over44% reduction of air emissions of Priority Chemicals, 17%reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, 47% reduction inmanufacturing waste, and 36% reduction in water use.Among the many improvements that resulted from thepursuit of these goals was the registration of all 28 majormanufacturing sites and the corporate EnvironmentalManagement System to ISO 14001. And because our com-mitment is to continual improvement, a new set of equallyrigorous five-year goals were announced in April, 2004.

Kodak’s Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) programsare integrated all along our business value chain. Weengage our suppliers in partnering with us to provideproducts and services that are consistent with our HSEpolicies. A comprehensive lifecycle management pro-gram includes HSE integration into research & develop-ment, product commercialization, manufacturing andlogistics, customer response, and end-of-life issues. As aresult, we have been able to demonstrate continuous

improvement in the development of safe and environ-mentally friendly products.

Kodak has also been selected for a number of awards for itsenvironmental achievements. Kodak is proud of theawards that we have received, including the WorldEnvironment Center Gold Medal for InternationalEnvironmental Achievement, the Queen’s Award forEnterprise: Sustainable Development in the UnitedKingdom, the EPA Energy Star Corporate CommitmentAward, Wastewise Hall of Fame, EPA Project XL (pollutionprevention), and others.

The next 100 years

Kodak has been identified as the leader within its industrygroup on the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSIWorld), a guide for people who seek to invest in companieswith “a business approach that creates long-term share-holder value by embracing opportunities and managingrisks deriving from economic, environmental, and socialdevelopments.”While the company is proud to receive suchrecognition for our own work, we also actively promoteconservation efforts by others through programs such asthe Kodak American Greenways Awards, which we presentin concert with The Conservation Fund. In addition, we sup-port programs run by organizations such as The NatureConservancy (Photovoice), and the World Wildlife Fund.

We strive every day for continuous improvement in all thatwe do, and remain committed to protection of the globalenvironment, as well as the health and safety of ouremployees and people around the world.

More than 100 years of innovation

Kodak’s first camera reuse program was introduced in 1900

with the slogan, “You press the button, we do the rest.”

Consumers mailed their Kodak Brownie cameras to our

factory where the pictures were developed and, together

with a reloaded camera, returned to the consumer. Ninety

years later, Kodak led the photographic industry again, by

starting a program that has since recycled more than 774

million Kodak one-time-use cameras. In fact, these cameras

today have the highest recycling rate—74 percent—of any

consumer product in the world.

Advances in our technologies over the last 30 years have

decreased the volume of chemicals required to develop

and print a roll of film—by a factor of 20—and this year

Kodak introduced a kiosk for retail stores that will develop

a roll of film and print your pictures without any wet

chemicals in about ten minutes.

Kodak is now at the forefront of the digital era with

exciting new products for capturing and using images in

the health care, office, leisure, and entertainment sectors.

Kodak’s efforts to enhance and ensure sustainability are accomplished through our

Responsible Growth program. For Kodak’s operations worldwide, Responsible Growth

means reducing our impact on the environment, protecting the safety of our employees

and customers, and supporting the communities where we do business while ensuring

the sustained growth and profitability of the company. Our policy is to operate our

facilities in a manner that protects the environment and the health and safety of our

employees and the public, conserve natural resources and energy, and demonstrate our

commitment to continual improvement and the prevention of pollution. Kodak is the

leading company in helping people take, share, enhance, preserve, print, and enjoy

images — for memories, information, health, and entertainment purposes. Kodak is a

leader in the application and use of digital technology to serve these businesses along

with our traditional silver halide products.

Depend on each other

Royal Philips ElectronicsOur rich heritageAt Philips we are in the unique position to link our brand heritage to the challenge ofimproving the quality of people’s lives – because this is what Philips has done since ourfounders started the company. For Anton and Gerard Philips there was no difference betweenbusiness and sustainable business. Putting people at the center was inherent to their way ofdoing business. You could say sustainability is in our DNA.

We have long been integrating economic prosperity, environmental quality and social equity.Sustainable development is a necessity and the right thing to do. It’s our way of doing business– an investment that creates value and secures our future.

Environmental responsibilityMore than 30 years ago, the Philips Board of Management issued guidelines for environmentalperformance. This was followed by an environmental policy that was updated, keeping it aliving document.

We are guided by the basic principle that prevention is better than cure, striving always to avoidproblems at the outset. Further, we have long regarded environmental improvement as anopportunity for innovation, and we work continuously to minimize the impacts of products,processes and services.

To meet this challenge, we began establishing solid action programs 10 years ago. The targets setforth in this series of four-year action programs help us drive progress, as we work to meet targetsthat are measured against improvements achieved with previous programs. And, perhaps mostimportantly, we monitor our progress and have been reporting our results since 1998.

Sustainability policy Building on this firm foundation, the company developed its sustainability policy, which wasissued in 2003.

We set high performance targets for ourselves and strive to reach our goals. We are leveragingwhat we have learned in the environmental area and applying this knowledge to the other areasof sustainability monitoring and reporting. This will serve over the coming years as our roadmap for reporting and external verification.

Embracing an exciting challengeToday, Philips employees are urged to explore new business opportunities and new markets withsustainability as the key driver. We are particularly interested in helping bridge the digital divide,providing access to technology to the 4 billion people at the bottom of the economic pyramid.

To do that, we have developed a special program that we rolled out earlier this year. Philipsemployees are asked to develop a business case for projects that will benefit people andcontribute to our growth, thinking about their role as individuals and the role of theirbusinesses in meeting this challenge.

For over a century Philips has been committed to bringing meaningful technology to markets toimprove the quality of people’s lives, yet this is an exciting new start for us. Satisfying the unmettechnology needs and aspirations of 4 billion people is an exciting and worthy challenge for all of us.

by integrating aspects of product planning, design and manufacturing, and utilizing an ambitiousDFE approach that incorporates environmental options at each phase of every product’s life cycle,from inception to disposal.

Energy EfficiencyToday, HP’s product stewards work with product designers and research and development teamsto identify, prioritize and recommend environmental innovations for products. HP’s more than400 ENERGY STAR-qualified products save customers money and reduce pollution and climatechange impacts.

Materials InnovationMaterials innovation – “doing more with less” and reducing the use of hazardous materials inproduct design and packaging - is fundamental to HP’s product environmental strategy. Reducingthe amount of materials used to make our products can cut costs for our customers and HP, andwe are continuously working to increase the use of recycled material where this does notcompromise quality. For example, HP developed a HP Scanjet scanner component made fromrecycled inkjet cartridge plastic and recycled PET bottles, while meeting all quality specificationsand requirements.

Design for RecyclabilityHP is working to design products that are easier to upgrade and recycle. For instance, many HP products have a modular design so that components can be removed, upgraded or replaced,and when technically feasible, HP uses snap-in features instead of glues and adhesives inproduct construction.

HP believes that through intelligent design we can reduce the environmental impact of ourproducts and that of our customers.

“Environmental protection is a complex undertaking, but

the laws of nature are simple. We will provide leadership on

the journey to an environmentally sustainable future, with

efficient products and creative recycling systems.”

Carly Fiorina, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

HP is committed to making a lasting contribution to the communities inwhich we live and work.

Global Citizenship is one of HP’s corporate objectives: to make a positive contribution to theglobal community, in addition to our commercial role as a business. At a minimum, GlobalCitizenship means upholding the highest possible standards of integrity and transparency.

HP is committed to sustainability by using the technology we produce to improve people’s livesthrough education, e-inclusion, community and environmental programs. Whether supportingengineering and computer science students through educational grants, using our productsand services to promote social and economic development in underserved markets, ordiverting millions of pounds of electronic waste from landfill through our innovative productrecycling programs – HP strives to be an exemplary corporate global citizen by applyingourselves to the environmental, social and economic challenges of globalization.

We take action toward a sustainable future in a number of ways. We are guided by a core set ofethics and governance practices that permeate the company worldwide; we deliver value to ourcustomers without compromising the health of the planet; we encourage our employees toengage in communities locally and across the globe; and we strive to close the gap betweentechnology-empowered and technology-excluded communities worldwide.

Our character is defined not only by what we do, but how we do it.

As a global company doing business in more than 170 countries, we recognize the importance of being extremely clear about our policies and deliberate in our actions, as we engage inresponsible business around the world and live up to our reputation as a good global citizen.This means rigorously managing our performance in the areas of social investment, customerand employee privacy, environmental sustainability, and human and labor rights. It also meansan insistence that we choose suppliers and vendors that maintain appropriate standards inthese areas as well.

The Greening of HP’s Products

Design for EnvironmentIn 2002 Hewlett-Packard and Compaq Computer Corp. joined forces in one of the largest ITmergers in history. Both companies had progressive environmental programs and philosophiesbefore the merger, but the new HP yielded a program that is unrivaled in the IT industry. Oneof HP’s signature environmental sustainability initiatives is its cutting-edge Design forEnvironment (DFE) program. Compaq and Hewlett-Packard began their individual DFEprograms in 1992 with three priorities: energy efficiency, materials innovation and design forrecyclability. Compaq was awarded the 1997 WEC Gold Medal for International CorporateEnvironmental Achievement for comprehensive environmental programs and EnvironmentalHealth & Safety standards. The Gold Medal Jury recognized Compaq’s dynamic application ofDFE principles as the company’s signature contribution to sustainable development. Today, HPhas taken exponential leaps and advanced the combined DFE program beyond what was inplace seven years ago. HP has been recognized for innovative product stewardship highlighted

Looking to the FutureAs we face the future, we know that sustainable development is achieved by design.Teams of Alcoa employees around the world are redesigning their work and theirworkplaces to better serve our customers and take waste in all its forms out of ourprocesses and the value chains they support. This is the Alcoa Business System inaction, and it continues to underpin our efforts to achieve sustainability.

In Iceland, for example, a multidisciplinary team of Alcoa professionals is drawingon lessons gathered over the past 20 years to guide the design of the first primaryaluminum smelter Alcoa has built since the 1980s.

This US$1.1 billion facility—to be powered by a National Power Company hydro-power project—is a key element in our strategic plan to base as much primaryaluminum capacity as possible on clean and renewable energy. Painstaking work isalso being done by Alcoa and members of the local communities—including somewho oppose the development—to plan the economic, cultural, and environmentalintegration of the enterprise.

Alcoa and WECIn 1996, Alcoa earned the World Environment Center’s Gold Medal forInternational Corporate Environmental Achievement. This landmark event forAlcoa helped confirm that sustainable outcomes emerge from constructive anddiverse partnerships. In recognition of the contribution made by every Alcoaemployee toward the attainment of the WEC Award, the Gold Medal was sent on ayear-long journey to Alcoa operating locations worldwide. Now, on WEC’s 30thanniversary, this album offers another opportunity to recognize the value of WECsupport and the continuing commitment of Alcoa employees to delivering asustainable future. To you all—thank you, and well done!

Alain J. P. Belda

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Alain Belda, Chairman and CEO of 1996 WEC Gold Medalist Alcoa, describeshow commitment to sustainable development has shaped the company’s past,its approach today, and its promise to the future.

Lessons from History“The Company will, where economically possible, dump the overburden (from mining areas) into excavations

made for the purpose by the Company. The Company will ensure after its operations on an area that the area

is rendered and left tidy but not necessarily restored to its original contour.”

Western Australian regulation governing mine rehabilitation, 1961.

When Alcoa was granted a lease to mine bauxite in the biodiversity-rich jarrah forest ofWestern Australia in 1961, no one asked nor expected us to rehabilitate exhausted mine

pits in the way that it is done today.

Although we will mine less than 6% of the total jarrah forest area in the hundred years or sothat we’ll be there, our early U.S. and Australian leadership realized that the long-term future of the operation then depended on protecting the forest’s capacity to support multiple usestomorrow. They began working in partnerships with government agencies and researchinstitutions, and today Alcoa-rehabilitated forests restore the biodiversity and function of theoriginal forest.

Deeply Rooted CommitmentThis is our culture—a deeply rooted commitment to sustainability that is driven by our valuesand our aspiration to be the best company for our shareholders, employees, customers,suppliers, and the communities in which we operate.

Our culture led the Portland Aluminium smelter in Australia to set a goal for zero-waste-to-landfill in five years, and the smelter’s management closed the landfill to take away the safetynet. This culture led us to teach sustainable agriculture to villagers in Brazil when fishpopulations began to decline due to soil erosion caused by the villagers’ slash-burning of forest.This same culture led us to set a goal of zero injuries—previously thought to be impossible—and to post real-time safety data on our website to highlight our progress.

Our people continue to show that extraordinary effort is possible when they build on their pastsuccesses but also challenge and refuse to accept the ways of the past. They are showing thatquestions rather than well-known answers often determine the path to sustainability.

As a result, we have enabled the development of aluminum-intensive vehicles that improve fuelefficiency and environmental performance while providing drivers and passengers withimproved safety performance because of Alcoa’s unique ability to integrate materials, structuralengineering, and advanced manufacturing techniques. Since 2000, we’ve reduced water use by16% and landfilled waste by 44%; greenhouse gas emissions declined by 25% since 1990. Ourshareholder return for 2003 was more than 71% compared to approximately 28% for the DowJones Industrial Average. We also continued our “more than money” strategy of employeevolunteerism and engagement in our communities.

In the same spirit, Novartis recognized the need for furtherimprovement of patients’ access to treatments and has initiated anumber of innovative programs. Through public-private partnershipswith the World Health Organization, Novartis provides medicinesagainst leprosy, malaria and tuberculosis to developing countries atnot-for-profit prices, or sometimes entirely free.

A separate partnership, with the Singapore Economic DevelopmentBoard, led to the creation of the Novartis Institute for Tropical Diseases.Based in Singapore, the research center applies cutting-edge scientifictools to discover treatments for dengue fever and tuberculosis, twomajor “neglected” diseases afflicting the developing world.

The Novartis Foundation for Sustainable Development has beenworking to improve living conditions of poor people in developingcountries since 1973.

“Further progress is needed and we remain committed to sustainabledevelopment and to proactive solutions,” Novartis Chairman and ChiefExecutive Daniel Vasella says. “We want to be a leading corporatecitizen, technologically and economically. It’s both a strategic businessinitiative and the right thing to do.”

About Novartis

Novartis AG (NYSE: NVS) is a world leader inpharmaceuticals and consumer health. In2003, the Group’s businesses achieved sales ofUSD 24.9 billion and a net income of USD 5.0billion. The Group invested approximatelyUSD 3.8 billion in R&D. Headquartered inBasel, Switzerland, Novartis Group companiesemploy about 78 500 people and operate inover 140 countries around the world. Forfurther information please consulthttp://www.novartis.com.

“The pharmaceutical industry is able and ready to make a

valuable contribution to improve access to medicine for people

in the poorest countries. Novartis, however, has gone even

further. Thanks to our good results last year we were able to

provide, at no charge, all the drugs used by the World Health

Organization for the treatment of leprosy patients worldwide.

Furthermore, we are providing the WHO with our new malaria

drug Coartem at cost. Recently we additionally committed to

supply medicines for the treatment of 500,000 tuberculosis

patients over the next five years, free of charge.”

Daniel Vasella, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in the 2003 Novartis Annual Report

Passing the Sustainability Torch to NovartisCiba-Geigy AG was awarded the 1995 WEC Gold Medal in recognition of corporatepolicy that balanced long-term economic success, social responsibility and soundenvironmental management.

Less than a year later, Ciba-Geigy agreed to merge with crosstown rival Sandoz AG to formNovartis AG. The merger led to a corporate metamorphosis, narrowing the new company’sstrategic focus to healthcare. Ciba-Geigy’s former industrial chemicals division was spun off asCiba Specialty Chemicals in 1997 and three years later, Novartis shed its agribusiness in atransaction that created the world’s biggest agrochemical company, Syngenta AG.

Amid all that change, however, the long-term commitment to sustainability at Novartis has grownstronger and the scope of sustainable development has broadened significantly. Today, in additionto the original environmental focus, the company’s integrated Corporate Citizenship programencompasses a commitment to the United Nations Global Compact, supported by corporateguidelines in fields as diverse as business ethics, fair working conditions and human rights.

This Corporate Citizenship culture reflects the growing impact of globalization in recent years.Major companies like Novartis face intense scrutiny from diverse, often critical stakeholders,spurring demands for greater transparency and accountability.

That’s particularly true in the politically charged field of healthcare where Novartis is a visibleplayer in global debates over access to treatment, pricing of drugs, intellectual-propertyprotection and other health-related issues.

Reporting on Health, Safety and the Environment at Novartis is one example of the waysustainability has become intimately integrated in day-to-day operations and is openlycommunicated to concerned stakeholders. In 2000, Novartis set a three-year target of reducingabsolute CO2 emissions by 3% – through process optimization, technical advances such asenergy-efficient installations and improvements in the energy mix. As noted in the Novartis2003 Annual Report, the result was a decrease of 2.8%, slightly below the target but still betterthan the industry average.

The CO2 reduction program is just one initiative covered in this year’s annual report, alongwith descriptions of risk assessments, preventative measures and regular audits of the Health,Safety and Environment (HSE) performance of group sites against targets, conducted by morethan 400 dedicated HSE specialists. “We manage HSE the same way we do the rest of thecompany – by setting targets, measuring results and publicly disclosing the outcome,” says Dr.Kaspar Eigenmann, global head of the Corporate HSE Dept. at Novartis.

As the WEC grasped a decade ago, economic success remains a precondition for sustainablecorporate citizenship. In presenting the 1995 Gold Medal to Ciba-Geigy, World Bank ManagingDirector Gautam Kaji spoke of a “new environmentalism” – where “a responsible attitude towardsthe environment has to be good for the bottom-line, as well as for the biosphere.”

Our New Green MachineXerox’s new DocuColor iGen3 Digital Production Press is an environmentallypreferable choice for the commercial printing industry. Compared to traditionaloffset presses, the DocuColor iGen3 uses non-toxic dry inks with a transferefficiency of nearly 100 percent. Up to 97 percent of the parts in this three-tonmachine and 80 percent of the waste it generates can be reused or recycled. Ozoneand particulate emissions are strictly controlled to limits set for office equipment.Finally, its digital technology favors just-in-time, right-size print runs.

Looking to the FutureIn moving toward a sustainable future, Xerox recognizes that it must furtherreduce the environmental impact of its own operations, while at the same time,extending the reach of environmental policies across the supply chain. To thatend, we recently launched two new initiatives.

• Reducing Energy and Greenhouse Gases. While energy management is not newfor Xerox, in 2003 we significantly strengthened our commitment. Xerox joinedthe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Climate Leaders and the BusinessRoundtable’s Climate RESOLVE programs. A company-wide baseline inventoryof greenhouse gas emissions, now under development, will result in corporatetargets for reducing emissions through 2012.

• Promoting Responsible Forest Management. As one of the largest brands of cut-sheet paper in the world, Xerox believes it must ensure responsible management ofthe forests that provide raw materials for paper production. In 2000, we formalizeda position to source paper from companies committed to sound environmentalpractices and sustainable forest management. In 2003, in support of this position,we issued stringent requirements to Xerox paper suppliers worldwide.

Our Waste-Free Commitment: Translating Sustainability Principles into PracticeResponsible corporate citizenship – including protection of the environment – is both abusiness and social imperative for Xerox. For well over a decade, we have worked to put theconcept of sustainability into practice with the following goal – produce Waste-Free Productsin Waste-Free Facilities to help Xerox customers achieve Waste-Free Workplaces.

Waste-Free ProductsIt starts with a commitment to help customers do more with less … and Xerox has madeimpressive progress. Each new family of Xerox products offers more functionality while usingless material and energy throughout the product life cycle.

• Design strategies maximize our ability to remanufacture products and reuse and recycleparts, conserving both raw materials and energy. Since 1991, Xerox has diverted more than1.4 billion pounds of waste from landfills this way.

• Today’s products use up to 80 percent less energy than machines introduced in 1990. Eachyear, energy-efficient product features enable our customers to save more than one millionmegawatt hours of electricity.

Waste-Free FacilitiesEliminating factory waste is both environmentally and economically sound. We haveconsistently reduced emissions to air and water and improved recycling rates. And all worldwideXerox manufacturing operations are ISO 14001-certified. Some examples of our success:

• Air emissions have been reduced by 92 percent since 1991.

• Ninety-seven percent of hazardous waste was beneficially managed in 2002 throughtreatment, recycling, or use as fuel.

• Ninety-two percent of non-hazardous solid waste was recycled in 2002.

Waste-Free WorkplacesBecause Xerox customers share our concern for the environment, our goal is to help themachieve Waste-Free Workplaces. Xerox has developed the Green World Alliance – acomprehensive program for collecting and reprocessing spent copy/print cartridges, tonercontainers and waste toner from Xerox equipment. With strong customer participation, thisprogram reused and recycled more than 18 million pounds of material in 2002.

Smart use of paper is the hallmark of an eco-efficient workplace. Xerox enables this withmachines that offer reliable two-sided printing and copying, solutions that facilitate print-on-demand and distribute-then-print workflows, and a broad array of recycled papers.

The Procter & Gamble Company1992

Linking Opportunity with ResponsibilityP&G has a long history of innovation in the social, economic and environmental areas. From establishing profit sharing programs for employees in the 1880’s,one of the first programs in the United States. To developing the first syntheticdetergents for household use in the 1930’s. To implementing environmentalmanagement systems, life cycle assessment and product stewardship programs in the late 1980’s.

In the new millennium, we are working to integrate all three of these areas under the more holistic concept of sustainable development. We are building on our history of being a company that is a responsible member of society and are seeking to link this with the business opportunity to create a better quality of life for everyone, now and for generations to come.

We continue to reduce our environmental footprintIBM’s manufacturing processes are developed to minimizetheir potential impacts on the environment. Our efforts toreduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals and prevent pollutionhave reduced hazardous waste by 91.8 percent and reduced airemissions by 96 percent worldwide since 1990.

We conserve energy to reduce our impact on the climateIBM’s greatest potential impact on climate change is an indirect one, through the release of carbon dioxide by the utility companies providing the company’s energy.We therefore have a strong focus on conserving energy. Our conservation efforts haveavoided the emission of more than 7.7 million tons of carbon dioxide worldwide—a 33 percent reduction in our global emissions of CO2—since 1990.

We consider the environment when developing our products IBM established its Environmentally Conscious Products Program in 1991 to enhanceits focus on the potential environmental impacts of its products. Designing productswith consideration for their reuse, recyclability, energy efficiency and use ofenvironmentally preferred materials and finishes are key objectives of this program.

Among the program’s achievements are the development of powder coatings forfinishing decorative parts of computers, thereby eliminating the VOCs and wasteassociated with liquid-based paints; the use of recycled content plastics for computers;and the elimination of certain hazardous materials from products and packaging.

The company also extends its energy conservation efforts to its customers through itsproducts. IBM was a charter member of the US EPA ENERGY STAR ComputersProgram and has been a leader in producing ever more energy efficient IT products.

As part of product end-of-life management activities, we currently offer product reuseand recycling solutions in 35 countries.

We contribute to sustainable developmentIBM’s activities for a more sustainable world extend from its leadership in corporatephilanthropy to its development of technologies that help solve problems ranging from environmental protection and finding cures for diseases to enabling economicdevelopment through e-business. Two examples:

Our Environmental Research Program awarded 14 grants totaling $16 million toresearch institutions and universities around the world. The technology and fundingenabled researchers to study environmental problems including air and water quality,climate change, species biodiversity and the preservation of fragile ecosystems.

IBM’s flagship $70 million Reinventing Education grant program sends IBMresearchers, educational consultants and technology into schools to improve learningand teacher preparation. It has now reached 90,000 teachers and more than 8 millionstudents in Australia, Brazil, China, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Singapore, the UK,the US and Vietnam.

We look toward the future Though we are proud of our achievements thus far, there is more yet to do. IBMremains committed to seeking solutions that contribute to the betterment of our world.

IBM’s commitment to corpo-rate citizenship is as old as thecompany itself. With it comesthe responsibility to enhancethe environmental, economicand social quality of ourworld. Moreover, since manyof the world’s major problemscan be better understood andsolved through informationtechnology, we have a uniqueopportunity and role in help-ing to address them.

IBM used the honor ofreceiving the 1990 WEC GoldMedal as a further incentiveto continually improve itsintegration of environmentalconsiderations throughout itsbusiness and to help theworld develop in a more sustainable manner.

At Dow we have translated the concept ofsustainable development into the TripleBottom Line Business Model of economicprosperity, environmental stewardship andcorporate social responsibility.

Our commitment to SustainableDevelopment includes recognizingsuccesses within Dow that epitomizeDow’s belief in this concept. The biannualDow Responsible Care Award programrecognizes projects that demonstrateexcellence in Environment, Health, andSafety initiatives as well as publicoutreach. The awards span fourcategories: customer or product success,resource productivity, incident prevention,and social responsibility.

Examples of projects judged worthy of2002 Dow Responsible Care Awardsincluded:

Water Management in Terneuzen,the Netherlands.The water treatment system at Dow’sTerneuzen site was restructured to recycle80 percent of the non-salty wastewater atthe site. This resulted in a 50 percentreduction in total wastewater discharge perpound of product at the site. In addition,advanced membrane technology wasimplemented to desalinate warm seawaterfor use as process water. Overall, the projectresulted in significant energy savings aswell as contributing to the long-termavailability of fresh water in the region.

New Polyglycol Lubricants Address Toxicity Concerns.In response to a report from the EuropeanCentre for the Ecotoxicology andToxicology of Chemicals (ECETOC), Dowled an industry effort to investigatepotential delayed toxic effects in a groupof polyglycols used in lubricantformulations. This effort resulted inreclassification of those products, but alsoled Dow to develop a new generation ofpolyglycol lubricant basestocks. Nowoffered commercially as SYNALOX* fluids,the new products offer low inhalationtoxicity, excellent lubrication performance,and good low temperature properties tomeet market requirements.

Safety Excellence Built intoOPTIMAL facility. When affiliates of Dow and Petronas, thenational oil company of Malaysia, builttheir new facility in Kerteh, Malaysia,8,500 workers recorded 22.7 millionconsecutive safe man-hours without a losttime accident- a Malaysian record. Thesuccessful effort to build safety excellenceinto the project was especially impressiveconsidering that the project involved fourmain contractors and 200 sub-contractors,and that workers spoke 18 differentlanguages. Learnings from the project willenable Dow and others in the communityto achieve similar safety records insubsequent construction projects.

The Dow Chemical Company is committedto make an increasingly stronger globaleconomic contribution with a steadilysmaller environmental footprint. Thesecommitments help our employees achieve,our customers succeed, our shareholdersprosper, and our communities thrive.

50 l WEC Gold Medal 20th Anniversary Album The BP Group l 51

In the 16 years since BP was first awarded the World Environment

Center’s Gold Medal for environmental achievement, BP has grown

significantly. From several heritage companies, we have become

one single group, combining assets, technologies, market positions

and knowledge. Today, we are an enterprise that competes globally,

as one of the leaders in our industry. We own one of the best

exploration records in the business, with more giant field

discoveries in the last six years than any major competitor, and

some of the industry’s lowest finding costs. Yet while we have

evolved, we have never lost sight of the principle and the necessity

of environmental sustainability, and we are proud to once again

have our beliefs and actions recognized by the WEC.

Our BusinessBP is one of the world’s largest oil andnatural gas groups, serving customersin more than 100 countries across sixcontinents. Our main businesses areexploration and production; refiningand marketing; gas, power andrenewables and petrochemicals.Through these business segments, weprovide fuel for transportation, energyfor heat and light, retail brands andpetrochemical products for use ineveryday items.

Our Purpose

The nature of our business requires us to participate actively in a global marketplace servingaround 13 million customers, each with their own constantly changing needs, desires anddreams. Such as mobility. Industry. Prosperity. Opportunity. Sustainability. These diverse andevolving demands create a constant tension between what we as a society can live with andwhat we cannot live without. And they have led us at BP to think beyond the expected to theways in which we can most responsibly support human needs and fuel the world’s progress.

Our publicly stated aspiration is to be numbered among the world’s great companies.The idea – actually, the ideal – of economic, social and environmental sustainability has foryears influenced corporate-level policies. At BP, it permeates the group, from the quality ofcorporate governance and the transparency of our reporting down to such project-level decisions as our partnership choices, low-impact drilling and the launch of new, cleaner fuels in advance of regulatory requirements.

But why should an oil and gas company be a force for human progress? What is the businesscase for social responsibility and environmental sensitivity? The first answer is that, for anycompany with the scale and reach of BP, responsible conduct is a requirement. At BP, wemake this requirement a business practice as well as a corporate principle. Secondly, weexpect our conduct to be measured by responsible standards. Already, we see that living up to high standards for behaviour, environmental policies and human rights opens doors tonew relationships and resources. It sparks innovation and permits investment. And it fosters constructive debate and co-operation rather than confrontation. For BP, that is the way wewant to conduct our business.

Milestones

• In 1997, BP became the first major oil company to state publicly that the risks of climatechange could be serious, and that precautionary action was justified. While uncertaintiesremain, we believe business planning and long-term strategy should be based on the need tostabilize atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs).

• In 2001, BP achieved its first GHG target – to lower operational emissions by 10% from 1990levels. We then set a new target for 2012 – to maintain net emissions at 2001 levels throughmore efficient operations and cleaner products offering improved fuel efficiency.

• By the end of 2003, 99% of our major operations had been independently assessed forcertification to the ISO 14001 international standard on environmental management. Thissystem drives continuous performance improvement at our sites to reduce air emissions, waterdischarges and accidental releases, including oil spills to sea or land.

Creating Shareholder and Societal Value ...While Reducing Our Footprint Throughout the Value Chain

From the Chief Executive:

As we strive to integrate sustainable growth policies and practices across DuPont, 2003 was animportant year of progress.

Our safety and health performance improved overall with double-digit reduction in employee injuryrates, and modest improvement in contractor rates. We also continued to make significant progress inreducing the incidence of soft tissue injuries through early detection and prevention programs.

Year-over-year environmental performance showed generally small changes in waste and emissions asproduction rebounded – some increases (greenhouse gas emissions are up 2 percent) and somedecreases (air carcinogens are down 8 percent). We will continue to pursue reductions towards the goalof zero. Versus 1990 our global air carcinogens are down 92 percent, global air toxics are down 75percent, global hazardous waste on a dry basis is down 44 percent and global greenhouse gasemissions, on a CO2-equivalent basis, are down 67 percent. This has been accomplished during aperiod when production has grown by almost 30 percent.

We continue to support the development of responsible public policy and market-based tradingsystems to encourage the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. In the U.S., we donated 44,000metric tones of reductions from one of our U.S.-based manufacturing sites to the LeonardoAcademy’s Cleaner and Greener program to be permanently retired to help offset emissionsassociated with several conferences and meetings. We also became a charter member of the ChicagoClimate Exchange and participated in its first auction.

Our total global energy use is now 9 percent below our 1990 base with cumulative savings over thepast 12 years of almost $2 billion. We have 2 percent of our global energy supply based onrenewables and expect to be at 5 percent by 2005 and 10 percent by 2010. Our sources will includehydroelectric, landfill gas, biomass and possibly wind power.

The transition of DuPont from a company that, for 195 years, generated revenue from depletable rawmaterials, primarily oil, natural gas and minerals, is well underway. In 2003, we generated 15 percent ofglobal revenues from non-depletable resources including agricultural feedstocks, technology andknowledge sales, and service. Our goal is to achieve 25 percent by 2010.

For the second year in a row, DuPont was named Chemical Segment Leader for the Dow JonesSustainability Index. On behalf of DuPont employees, I was pleased to accept the U.S. Council onInternational Business Award for leadership in environmental stewardship and sustainabledevelopment with UN Secretary General Kofi Annan participating in the awards evening. DuPontalso became the first company ever to receive a second U.S. National Medal of Technology, this onefor our work to phase out chlorofluorocarbons and develop alternatives to support societal needs forrefrigeration and air conditioning.

Our goal is to continue to bring science and technology to address the world’s most difficultproblems and pressing needs in ways that make people’s lives safer, better and healthier.

Its principal business isenergy, involving exploration for, andproduction of, crude oil and naturalgas, manufacture of petroleumproducts and transportation and saleof crude oil, natural gas andpetroleum products. ExxonMobil is amajor manufacturer and marketer ofbasic petrochemicals, includingolefins, aromatics, polyethylene andpolypropylene plastics and a widevariety of specialty products.ExxonMobil also has interest inelectric power generation facilities.Affiliates of ExxonMobil conductextensive research programs insupport of these businesses.

The world is growing fast – more people, more industry,

more economic growth. Clearly, the world is going to need

more energy. Which is why, at ExxonMobil, we’re continually

exploring a variety of innovative energy solutions – from

advanced exploration technologies to lower emission fuels.

We also sponsor one-of-a-kind initiatives such as the Global

Climate and Energy Project led by Stanford University –

which is researching viable emission-reducing energy

technologies. After all, the challenge of supplying the world

with energy is great. And for our industry, the answer doesn’t

lie in one option, but in all of the above.

Sustaining DevelopmentPeople the world over have a vested interest in sustaining economic development in anenvironmentally responsible manner.

Energy use is central to both economic growth and environmental quality. Our job, as the world’slargest privately owned energy company, is to help provide the energy so vital to prosperity, and todo so in a way that is socially responsible and that embodies the best environmental practices.

Both growth and environmental quality must be sustainable. Neither growth nor theenvironment should be sacrificed for the other.

Hard to accomplish? Yes. But we are working to bring this vision to fruition.

The ongoing task is to ensure that the world has enough energy to support economic growth.The world in 2020 will likely need 40 percent more energy than today. Finding andproducing this energy will be central to sustaining economic prosperity and improving thelives of billions of people.

Yet this energy needs to be used efficiently and responsibly. Energy efficiency and conservation willprolong the availability of current resources, while delivering environmental benefits includingreduced emissions. The efficient use of energy also makes it more affordable to consumers.

We are helping to conserve energy through reductions in flaring, through efficiencyimprovements at our plants, and through research in developments that will help consumers useour products more efficiently.

We are working to provide the public with more natural gas, an environmentally favored energysource. New transmission technologies and advances in the liquefaction of gas should addsignificant clean resources to the world’s energy base.

We are also cooperating in more efficient automobile technology, advanced materials for plastics,and improved lubricant research, all of which will conserve energy.

In the longer term, it is essential to accelerate the development of commercially viabletechnologies that can substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. We have initiateda major research effort, the Global Climate and Energy Project, with other prominent companiesand Stanford University to identify the most promising technologies for low-emissions, high-efficiency energy supplies. We are also undertaking complementary climate and energy research atnine other major research institutions around the world.

It is our expectation that from among the multiple efforts that others and we are undertaking,new technologies will eventually emerge that can be successfully applied around the world.

But our contribution to development goes beyond energy advances. To many countries we bringsustained investment, with the prospect of jobs and other economic benefits. We contribute tocommunities and societies in many ways, including support in Africa for anti-malaria initiatives,along with investment in health clinics, schools and other infrastructure. We provide new trainingand skilled jobs for citizens of the countries in which we operate. And we conduct broadprograms that contribute to the social and cultural lives of local communities.

All these activities, as well as our efforts on energy technology and efficiency, are directed towardthe goal of ensuring that there will be an ongoing capability to provide adequate, affordable andlow-emission energy for long-term economic growth.

Fostering Wildlife HabitatWe are actively engaged in managing our open spaces to further wildlife

habitat on 3M lands. For now, six plant locations have wildlife

management plans. From promoting marine life in ponds to bird habitat

to maintaining natural environments for mammals, we are proving that

wildlife and manufacturing can prosper on the same land.

Sustaining Our FutureFor 100 years, 3M’s success has come from developing innovative technologies and products tomeet customers’ needs. 3M vigorously affirms its commitment to sustainable developmentthrough environmental protection, social responsibility and economic progress. We arecommitted to helping meet the needs of society today while respecting the ability of futuregenerations to meet their needs.

Corporate Values and Sustainability3M’s sustainability policies and practices are directly linked to our four fundamental corporate values:

• Satisfying our customers with superior quality and value.

• Providing investors an attractive return through sustained, high-quality growth.

• Respecting our social and physical environment.

• Being a company that employees are proud to be part of.

Our Sustainability Strategies:3M’s strategies for sustainability encompass the pursuit of customer satisfaction andcommercial success within a framework of environmental, social and economic values.

Meeting society’s and 3M’s expectations for environmental improvement:

• Utilizing 3M’s Environmental, Health and Safety Management System.

• Utilizing Life Cycle Management to continuously improve the environmental,health and safety impact of our products and processes.

• Making pollution prevention pay through development of new technologies and products.

New Management SystemIn 2001, 3M launched a new Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) Management System tohelp address changing societal needs and expectations through two major improvements:

• Using Life Cycle Management to put additional focus on both processes and products tocontrol EHS effects throughout products’ entire life cycles, from manufacturing thoughcustomer use and disposal.

• Complementing corporate EHS planning and goal setting with business unit planningand goal setting.

New Environmental Targets for 2005As part of the new EHS Management System, 3M’s corporate wide Environmental Targets takeover where 2000 environmental achievements left off. These assume a much broader approachto addressing environmental issues. The new corporate environmental targets are stretch goalsdirected at reducing our environmental impact on top of significant progress already made.
