JB – Labor practices category: SHE is one element greatest opportunity in adding value is understanding risk assessment opportunities
JB – identify where SHE is involved: contribute to the inventory, reporting and accounting systems: opportunities come externally KTC example – battle succumbs to acceptance through proven initiative (card-to-card) engineers did card to card; EHS did risk assessment and contribution to work practice (safeguarding and human factors engineering) and efficiency; result: decrease in shipping costs, decrease in work steps, less frustration on clamshell; increase in safety, increase in EHS acceptance in the organization, and able to take credit in reporting (external acceptance)
JB – explain CDP and purpose: EHS inserting into the process for opportunity; otherwise, this ends up with PR / Marketing – Legal and CFO See if your company is participating; process is expanding into water usage and recycling including electronics
JB / FF – 1: Annual Reports – requirement for publically listed companies; however, CSR is resulting in annual report-like disclosure from all types of organizations: EHS plays a role in assisting the organization in capturing credit for CSR effort 2: Social Media – if not observing social media from a monitoring standpoint, here is an opportunity to listen in on the conversation (window): also presents opportunity to identify insertion points for EHS to be of value to the organization 3: Shareholder Communication – have to be prepared to disclose what you are doing in the CSR area: expected requirement; affects materiality 4: Investor Research Reports – EHS is becoming increasingly visible as the organization becomes more transparent; EHS is becoming a tool in investment strategy (JB Were / Goldman Sachs): financial and EHS performance go hand in hand and have a stake in organizatonal outcome

Case Study You are the SH&E manager at XYZ company which is celebrating their recent marketing win – a contract to supply your product to Wal-Mart. This is a big win as the team has been wooing Wal-Mart for over a year with multiple visits to Bentonville, AR by the executive team. The conversations happening during this sales process have been focused on how much new volume and revenue are projected from this contract. No one on the sales team has put much focus on the operating conditions of working with Wal-Mart. As the SH&E manager you have not been in the sales process except for putting new dates and updating the Business Continuity Plan and safety programs especially around hazardous material use and handling. You’ve not been to Bentonville or have you had any contact with the Wal-Mart safety or sustainability team. This will be happening soon once the celebration moves to so how will we work with this new customer. You have not in the past been asked to gather information on greenhouse gases or other metrics related to sustainability. Now, Walmart is asking your company to complete the sustainability index. Your company knows your value to the organization, but isn’t sure SH&E is the appropriate point: this is your opportunity to step up.
Please break into groups of about five, but no more than 7. Pick a category on the sustainability index; Address these questions on the slide.
