4 | Foreword

Environmental Footprinting – A short introduction In spring 2013 the European Commission re­ leased the Environmental Footprint Guides (for products and organisations) as part of the Communication Building the Single Market for Green Products. The initiative is based on the Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe that calls for a common methodol­ ogy to assess, display and benchmark the environmental performance of products, services and companies. How environmen­ tal footprinting will be implemented in EU en­ vironmental policies is still open and will be decided after a 3 year pilot phase and the subsequent evaluation. Beyond political regu­ lation the methodology offers an approach for producers and retailers to quantify, manage and communicate the environ­ mental performance of products and pro­ duct portfolio in a more comprehensive

and efficient way. To achieve this and allow for simplification further specifications need to be developed. The development process of product category rules and organisation sector rules is being tested in the pilot phase by several groups consisting of companies, business associations, NGOs, governmental organisations, academia and other stake­ holders. The resulting category and sector rules of the pilot phase will become valid for the entire sector.

The pilot phase has already started with 17 pilot projects from the non-food sector in November 2013 (1st wave of pilots). First re­ sults have already been presented in various public consultations. In the 2nd wave of pilot projects 7–10 groups from the food, drink and feed sector will start their work in June 2014.

About the PEF World Forum | 5

The following sectors have applied to partici­ pate in the EU Environmental Footprint pilot process: Beverage • beer • wine • bottled water • coffee • tea • dairy products Food • meat • fish • uncooked pasta • fresh packaged citrus • canned fruits and vegetables • edible animal fats • oil (olive and seed) Feed & other • animal feed • pet food

At the PEF Food Conference, experts from the relevant initiatives, sectors and ­organisations will be present to inform and discuss the most important and relevant ­issues on environmental footprinting and show possible ways to join or collaborate in the process.

We invite you to follow and join the discus­ sion and use this window of opportunity to contribute to an initiative that offers the possibility to integrate life cycle thinking and the management of sustainability into every-day business.

About the PEF World Forum Consumption of goods and services directly and indirectly contributes towards increasing global GHG emissions and additional nega­ tive environmental impacts. Efforts are being made to better understand, manage and reduce these emissions. Standards and tools for carbon and environmental footprinting as well as more comprehensive sustainability metrics are being developed, refined and practically tested.

The PEF World Forum * creates and pro­ vides opportunities to discuss international corporate best practices and emerging tools to support environmentally friendly con­ sumption models. Given the ever-increasing ­number of initiatives globally, often with very little understanding on respective ­approaches and initiatives the international platform emerged. The ambition is to create dialogue rather than passive inaction.

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) World Forum * is a neutral platform where practical experiences and knowledge towards climate-conscious and environmen­ tally friendly consumption and production patterns are shared. It provides orientation in current standardisation and guidance processes. A focus is thereby placed on the EU Environmental Footprint Initiative and the associated pilot phase.

The PEF World Forum * is an initiative by Berlin based think-do-tank THEMA1. www.pef-world-forum.org

* formerly known as PCF World Forum

Mark Goedkoop Pré

Jan Christian Polanía Giese PEF World Forum

With the introduction of the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) Guide several questions have been raised regarding methodological issues and how PEF relates to the widespread LCA standard ISO 14040. This track is thought to touch on the discussion on similarities and differences as well as shortcomings and identify ­criticisms for both methodologies. The idea behind this session is to objectify the discussion on the PEF methodology and point at issues that should be treated ­during the pilot phase and looked at for potential revision.

About Michael Ooms Michael is director of RDC Environment since 2006. With a degree in bio-­ engineering, he has been working for more than 10 years on Life Cycle Assess­ ment issues. He currently coordinates the technical helpdesk for the European Commission regarding the 3-year pilot project PEF method. As an expert for ADEME (French Environment and Energy Management Agency), he is a member of the ISO TC207/SC7 committee, which has entitled him to actively participate in the working group of ISO 14067 and ISO 14069 standards on carbon footprint calculations for products and companies. He is also a member of the LCA ­steering committee at UNEP/SETAC. Lastly, he internally develops the strategy on the ­development of sectoral LCA tools.

About Mark Goedkoop Mark Goedkoop is partnership builder and business developer for PRé Consultants BV. He focuses on developing ways to help companies to embed lifecycle manage­ ment procedures and LCA tools as a key decision support tool. ▶▶ Track 2: The rocky road to sustainable consumption – How to make ­consumers buy the right products?

Chair: Jacob Bilabel Think-Do-Tank THEMA1 & International Network of Product Sustainability Initiatives (INPSI)

Martin Bortzmeyer MEDDE, France

Luke Upchurch Consumers International

Daniel Hires Carbon Disclosure Project

The discussion on the role of the consumer in regards to sustainable consumption is highly controversial. Is it a lack of understandable information, the absence of ­incentives or is it the products themselves that should be tackled or even re­ moved from the market? The workshop addresses all three questions and aims at ­developing new ideas but also builds on the rich experience that has been made so far. The track will be opened with a general overview on environmental communica­ tion and the shared responsibilities. This will be complemented with input state­ ments that refer to behavioural change, approaches from the creative industry and practical experience from the French Environmental Labelling pilot.

08:45 Opening 09:00 Keynote ▶▶ When will consumers trust your sustainable business claims?

A critical view on environmental communication Luke Upchurch Consumers International

Public trust is flux. Post-financial crisis and in the face of huge concerns about corporate power, environmental degradation and growing inequality, consumers are increasingly looking for values, as well as value. Leading global corporations recognise these changes and are putting vast sums into marketing their corporate reputation and securing brand loyalty. But this migration of trust is volatile: as the digital age turns us all from passive to proactive consumers, businesses will need to do more if they are to secure enduring belief in their sustainability claims.

This keynote will look at how consumer values are changing, how trust can be won, and why sustainable business claims need much more than a good marketing plan.

About Luke Upchurch Luke holds overall responsibility for CI’s stakeholder relations, partnerships, net­ working initiatives, and digital presence. Luke has been working in the field of con­ sumer rights for over 10 years and previously worked in corporate communications and as a journalist in Africa and Europe. His interests include sustainability, CSR, access to knowledge and digital empowerment. Luke is currently leading CI’s work on the migration of consumer trust and the impact of changing consumer behaviour in the digital age.

Retailer Response Forum – How to manage sustainability with big product portfolios? ▶▶ Experiences in the OEFSR retail pilot project from the perspective of an NGO Martin Wildenberg Global2000/ Friends of the Earth Austria

GLOBAL 2000 is one of the very few NGOs that take an active role in the EU Pilots.

We will present first steps towards Organisation Environmental Footprint ­Sector Rules for the retail sector. The Pilot has been said to be the most ­challen­ging one among the running pilots. Given the heterogeneity of the companies in this ­sector, the diversity and extent of the product portfolio, the challenge to develop a con­sistent approach becomes obvious. Retailers are important “gatekeepers” between ­production and consumption. They influence upstream production by their ­purcha­sing and downstream use by their marketing strategies. That is why they are often held responsible for unfavourable environmental or social effects of the products they sell. From a NGO perspective, a consistent, transparent and practi­ cable ­approach for the assessment of the environmental impact of retailers is very important.

About Martin Wildenberg Working in an environmental NGO that is not contented with pointing at hotspots but also wants to take an active role in the development of solution strategies, Martin is leading the sustainability programme at GLOBAL 2000/Friends of the Earth Austria.

Martin and his team work in the area of sustainable consumption and production, especially in and with the retail and agricultural sector. In the last years a system to access environmental footprints of agricultural products spanning the entire value chain has been set up and is used in cooperation with a large Austrian Retailer.

Martin is a member of the technical secretariat of the OEF-Retail Pilot.

▶▶ Reducing Environmental Footprinting through the Value Chain Frederic Vermeiren Colruyt Group

Andreas Ciroth GreenDelta

Frederic will explain Colruyt’s role in the OEF Retail pilot. Besides the involvement in the sector rules Colruyt is also leading a complementary pilot Chain OEF where the emphasis is more on the practical implementation of OEF and PEF. The Chain OEF methodology aims at elaborating on environmental footprints of value chains: by asking companies to submit their primary data and connect with other value chain actors, they will be able to reduce the environmental footprint of their organisation, products and their value chains in a collaborative way. A European not-for profit foundation, called Revalue will be set up to manage this independent and open sourced industry-recognised collaboration platform. Its objective is to achieve an active environmental reduction economy. First case studies have been initiated and currently new test partners are being recruited. Andreas will refer to the develop­ ment of the IT infrastructure that is conducted jointly with Quantis, University of Ghent and other European experts.

About Frederic Vermeiren Frederic Vermeiren graduated in 2007 as an Environmental Engineer from the University of Ghent (Master of Science in Bioscience Engineering ). In 2008 Frederic started his professional career at the Research Institute for Forest and Nature (INBO) and participated in the water budget modelling during the FutMon project (Life+). After two years Frederic joined Colruyt Group, a mayor Belgian retailer, where he works at the department of Energy, Environment and Advanced Techno­logies as a project engineer primarily focusing on sustainability, footprinting and water management. In 2011-2012 Frederic participated in the test of the draft ­methodologies OEF and PEF of the European Commission.

About Andreas Ciroth Andreas Ciroth is founder and director of GreenDelta, a consulting and software company that focuses on sustainability assessment and life cycle analyses. ­Environmental engineer by education, he finished his PhD (error calculation in LCA) in 2001 at TU Berlin and is working since then in sustainability consulting in ­research, industry, and policy contexts. Andreas is member of the advisory councils of ecoinvent and of the US LCI database. Andreas leads the openLCA project to ­create a free, open source sustainability assessment software. Further, he holds a lecturer position at the Technical University of Darmstadt in Germany, and is author and co-author of several publications. In broader terms, his interests are: How to ­assess, and improve, the impacts of human decisions on nature and society – ­besides arts and playing Badminton.

▶▶ Implementing product sustainability: First lessons from TSC Euan Murray The Sustainability Consortium

The presentation will cover The Sustainability Consortium’s (TSC’s) recent ­experiences in implementing product sustainability with industry. Euan will explain TSC’s involvement in the EU PEF pilots, other implementation activities and the partnership with SAP. About Euan Murray Euan is responsible for the strategic and organizational development of TSC. His role includes product strategy & business model development, global expansion, ­innovation and alliances. Prior to this, Euan was Director of Footprinting at the Carbon Trust, leading the work on product carbon footprinting and carbon labelling.

Euan has a BA in Natural Sciences and an MSc. in Materials Science & Metallurgy from Cambridge University, UK. ▶▶ Sustainability assessment at scale – dealing with large supplier networks and large product portfolios Rupert Lange SAP

How can sustainability assessments scale up to large supplier networks or large product portfolios? Not surprisingly, one lever to facilitate scale is standardization of the methodology being applied. Another one is tapping into the “systems of record” to avoid the risks associated with re-modelling the company. The presentation will give evidence from real-world examples and provide an outlook on how software systems could evolve to provide an integrated view of the business.

About Rupert Lange As development architect, Rupert Lange researches ways of embedding ­sustainability dimensions into core operational and analytical business processes and how enterprise software systems can be leveraged or augmented for this ­purpose. Prior to his current role, Rupert worked as a consultant for Corporate EHS/Sustainability Reporting and large scale organizational and product foot­ printing. In earlier functions he was involved in various technical and organizational roles within SAP’s technology development division.

▶▶ Environmental footprinting in the food sector – what are the key aspects?

Anita Lundström Swedish Environmental Protection Agency

A product life-cycle perspective from seed to waste is necessary in order to get safe, healthy and environmentally sound products. Facts on environmental implications throughout the food chain could help us find the road to a more resource-efficient food supply chain. Can existing certification systems contribute to Environmental Footprinting? This issue will be highlighted by relevant examples.

About Anita Lundström Anita Lundström is senior adviser at the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, Policy Development Department. She has long-term experience in the field of ­sustainable consumption and production and on environmental impacts related to food and the food supply chain.

Business perspectives 2: Food and drink pilot projects and first conclusions & experiences from the first wave ▶▶ Lessons learned from the laundry detergents pilot Guido Axmann Think-Do-Tank THEMA1, Germany

The liquid laundry detergent pilot project started working November 2013. First ­hurdles are taken and the number of stakeholders involved in the process for the development of product environmental footprint category rules (PEFCRs) has ­extensively grown. Besides detergent producers (including SMEs), producers of washing machines, members of the apparel sector and others are consulted. In such a multi-disciplinary group communication is key. In his presentation Guido will refer to that issue and furthermore update on the current status and the way ahead.

Further contributors are announced at the day of the conference.

34 | The Venue & Network Dinner

The Venue & Network Dinner The informal Network Dinner has become a tradition at PCF/PEF World Forum events. The dinner is typically held during the evening of the first conference day at carefully selected locations. Here participants receive a unique opportunity to network and meet with other fellow people whilst indulging in local and exquisite cuisine in a warm and relaxed atmosphere.

Impressions from past Network Dinners

Welcome to the Bildungsstätte on Schwanenwerder Situated on the idyllic island of Schwanenwerder between the river Havel and Wannsee the villa is surrounded by a historically landmarked park. Being far off from the pulse of the city the location and the picturesque surrounding provide a sense of being in nature yet the villa is in close proximity to Berlins city centre.

This setting provides the perfect atmosphere for the PEF Food Conference, leaving room for both in-depth thematic discussions and presentations, numerous opportunities of intensive dialogues and networking opportunities with other fellow PEF Food Conference participants during dinner in this inspiring environment.

The cooks on the premise only use fresh and carefully selected ingredients that are in season, local and certified organic. The meal that will be served during the PEF Food Conference ­Dinner will be a vegetarian option.
