Green’s Competitive Edge Political & Economic Implications & Key Risks FPPA 12th Annual Convention Tucson, AZ March 3, 2009 Provide Insights & Info… How sustainability fits into the changing landscape Who’s driving sustainability What’s important now The risks associated with sustainability Where your business can focus for success DuPont Packaging Graphics for FPPA Annual Conference, March 2009 Sustainability Today… • More defined and more important than 1 year ago • Being leveraged as the neutral and galvanizing cause that people, parties, governments and nations can agree on. • Strongly coupled with the economy & economic recovery Sustainability is bigger than you and me and it’s surrounded with very powerful players. DuPont Packaging Graphics for FPPA Annual Conference, March 2009 Sustainability Importance – Where it Started Wanting to move faster and push farther than anyone else and knowing that nations, regions, municipalities and states would never move quickly enough, Wal-Mart created THE SCORECARD. Establishes 7R’s Launches Sustainability Summits Establishes Sustainability Value Network Pushes China to “go green” DuPont Packaging Graphics for FPPA Annual Conference, March 2009 Hardening Their Resolve… Even in Uncertain Times Outgoing Walmart CEO, Lee Scott – Fall 2008 “With all that is going on in the global economy, should being a socially and environmentally responsible company still be a priority? You’re darned right sustainability should be a priority.” “This global economy will turn around. But the social and environmental challenges we are addressing today will be with us for decades.” Incoming Walmart CEO, Mike Duke – 2/2009 New Wal-Mart Boss Wants to "Accelerate" Green Efforts …the company will continue to work toward meeting its various green targets, such as its goal to become a zero waste operation and source all its energy from renewable sources, while stepping up pressure on suppliers to improve their environmental performance. www.businessgreen.com, accessed 2/23/09 DuPont Packaging Graphics for FPPA Annual Conference, March 2009 Wal-Mart Is Not Alone.. Increasing Focus on Sustainable Packaging CPGC’s focus their sustainability efforts: • Reduce packaging weight – package to product rations • Reduced greenhouse gas emissions • Reduced water usage • Biodegradable alternatives to plastic • Maximizing the use of recycled materials • LCA results to understand how to reduce environmental burdens • Standardized eco-labeling • Reduce waste and improve handling DuPont Packaging Graphics for FPPA Annual Conference, March 2009 CPG’s & Retailers Moving Beyond Packaging Materials Beginning to consider the “whole value chain’s” sustainability Moving toward “greening the supply chain” Developing new relationships & learning The Collaborative Supply Chain “We want to look at innovation to reduce not just packaging materials, but also energy, water, transportation and replacing the use of non-renewable energy materials with renewables.” Tony Burns P&G Research Organizations 3PL, 4PL, 5PL Consultants Non-Gov’t Organizations Academia Trade Associations DuPont Packaging Graphics for FPPA Annual Conference, March 2009 The Collaborative Packaging Value Chain New collaboration opportunities across the value chain Don’t forget about non-traditional collaboration Google Wants Big Piece Of Home Energy Management Biz Google has unveiled Google PowerMeter, a prototype Web application that displays home energy consumption broken down by appliance. The software requires “smart” meters, which provide real-time information to both the utility and the customer, ... DuPont Packaging Graphics for FPPA Annual Conference, March 2009 The Collaborative Packaging Value Chain New collaboration opportunities across the value chain Don’t forget about non-traditional collaboration Competition: value chain vs. value chain Raw materials suppliers working with Brand Owners Opportunities to “close the loop” on packaging waste Waste to Value Partnering with NGOs Retailers creating packaging departments Looking to differentiate their packaging Net: Linear relationships of the past are not a viable means for future growth DuPont Packaging Graphics for FPPA Annual Conference, March 2009 The Sustainable Packaging Leaders SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING COALITION Linkages to retail &consumer products companies strengthening Cooperation and collaboration platforms expanding Focused on energy, emissions & natural resources High levels of visibility & influence DuPont Packaging Graphics for FPPA Annual Conference, March 2009 What are the Leaders Saying: Ann Johnson/SPC on Innovation • We need to value materials more than we currently do • The cost of something doesn't reflect the environmental impact. There isn't a price/cost associated with emissions (yet). GHG Protocols & GHG Productivity SPC Sustainable Metrics Project Project’s primary purpose is to develop guidelines for measuring the sustainability of packaging and packaging systems.

The near-term plan & stimulus dollars were set in place at the National Clean Energy Summit last week.

Podesta The National Clean Energy Project: Building the New Economy • Focus on modernizing and expanding the electricity grid DOE Awarded $38.7B • Smart Grid component capable of capturing and distributing renewable energy from where it’s plentiful to where it’s needed. • Integrating energy efficiency and distributed generation into operation and regulation • Rapidly increasing transmission capacity for renewable energy • Reducing our nation’s dependence on foreign oil by: • Examining short- and long-term solutions to replace foreign oil with domestic resources to fuel vehicles and trucks, including natural gas.
