o NET positive™
o All businesses have positive and negative impacts on the environment and society through their policies, products and processes.
OUR APPROACH TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
7
Leaving a positive legacy now and in the future through our products, people and practices.
WHY NET POSITIVE?o A strategic approach that pays as much attention to
enhancing the positive impacts of an organization’s contribution to society as it does to reducing the negative impacts of its activity
o How we account for and measure these positive and negative impacts is a key question that the NET positive initiative aims to address

EP&L Approach
• Engaged strategic suppliers
• Collected supplier specific data
• Established locations of raw material flows
Quantification of E KPIs
Engagement and data collection
Refine E KPIs Valuation E P&L
• Calculated supply chain impacts back to raw materials
• Over €1bn expenditure analysed
• Refined calculations of supply chain impacts
•Operational E KPI data added
• GHG and water consumption valuation coefficients derived
• GHG emissions and water use valued in economic terms
(E KPIs) x (GHG & Water Valuation) = E P&L
Ecosystem Valuation Considerations
Air Pollution
Approach: Calculating Externalities
Water Use: Calculating valueExtensive literature review to obtain estimates from 40 studies of the direct and indirect use values of water under the total economic value (TEV) framework.
Water-use externality is represented as the reduction in the indirect use values (e.g. via hydrological functions, ecosystem maintenance, water nutrient cycling) of water accruing to third parties as result of water use in a company’s own operations and supply chain.
Baseline mean estimate of the indirect use marginal value across studies
Water Use: Transferring valueIndirect use values from available studies were plotted against scarcity in different areas to derive a value function based off the relationship between scarcity and value.
The relationship derived is calibrated to the valuation obtained from the literature to transfer values across locations in the company’s own operations and supply chain.
Approach: Scarcity and Value

Key Benefits:
A management tool to identify and minimise where the greatest negative environmental impact is occurring and maximise the positive environmental benefit on an on-going basis.
To demonstrate in a robust and scientific way the environmental benefits of products both now and in the dynamics of a more resource constrained world.
To accurately understand the environmental performance of products in financial terms.
To understand risk to supply chain operations from natural resource dependency (including water dependency in relation to scarcity).
To project the likely benefits of different business model configurations/ sustainability strategies.
To inform future sourcing and business strategy.
To understand your impact on ecosystem services and provide a single environmental performance indicator that can be tracked and reported against.
