   CAPTURING OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE
ENVIRONMENTAL AND BUSINESS PERFORMANCE



               JULY 2009
GREEN PORTOLIO FRAMEWORK
                                                 WELCOME & CONTENTS
       Welcome to the Green Portfolio Framework, a process & set of resources designed to
        enable managers to measure & improve business & environmental performance.
The Green Portfolio Framework (GPF) was developed through Environmental Defense Fund’s (EDF) partnership with private equity industry
leader Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR) and pilot tested with three portfolio companies in 2008. The pilot helped the three companies – U.S.
Foodservice, PRIMEDIA and Sealy Corporation – together realize savings of $16 million per year and avoid 25,000 metric tons of greenhouse
gas emissions, 3,000 tons of paper products and 650 tons of material waste annually.
This presentation provides a working version of our Green Portfolio Framework Handbook and includes a number of resources to help you get
started or continue tracking and improving business and environmental performance on an ongoing basis. Specific resources include:
  •     Overview of the Green Portfolio Framework (p 4) – Summary of the steps for implementing the GPF.
  •     Environmental Performance Metrics (p 5) – Table identifying the framework’s Key Environmental Performance Areas (KEPAs) and the
        related core (absolute) and management (productivity) metrics for tracking and improving performance.
  •     Company Implementation Playbook (p 6) – Guide and timeline for implementing the GPF.
  •     Company Example (p 7) – Illustrative example of a company implementation of the GPF.
  •     Company Resources (p 12) – Worksheets and available tools and resources for assessing and improving your company’s environmental
        performance.
        •    Materiality Assessment Table & Matrix (p 13) – Resources to help evaluate and prioritize the KEPAs based on what is most
             relevant to your organization.
        •    Additional Resources (p 16)– List of tools and resources to help assess and improve your company’s environmental performance.
        •    GHG Conversion Factors (p 17) – Common GHG conversion factors for determining GHG emissions.
  •     Case Studies (p 18) – U.S. Foodservice, PRIMEDIA and Sealy case studies summarizing 2008 actions, results, and future plans.
  •     Background on EDF (p 23) – Background on EDF’s history, accomplishments, approach, results and corporate partners.
We believe this process is a meaningful way to build value for your organization, especially in difficult economic times, and hope that you find
these resources useful. We look forward to hearing about your results and lessons learned.

                      MATERIALITY ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS
        Use the Materiality Assessment Table & Matrix on the following slides to assess the
       impacts of your operations on the five KEPAs & the related business implications for
                                          your company.
Use the following resources to assess the impact of your operations on each Key Environmental Performance Areas (KEPAs: GHG, waste,
water, forest resources and priority chemicals) and the related business implications for your company. Evaluate the environmental and
business impact (high, medium, or low) of each value chain stage (Supply Chain (S), Operations & Facilities (O), Distribution & Fleet (D),
and Use & Disposal (U)) on the five KEPAs using considerations like the ones below and the table on the following page. Then plot the
results according to their business and environmental impact on the Materiality Assessment Matrix.

Sample Environmental Considerations:
Do the organization’s activities impact or have the potential to impact the KEPA?
(H – our core business impacts this issue, M – our non-core business impacts this issue, L – our business does not impact this issue)
Does the organization have direct control or influence over the impact on the KEPA?
(H – our choices directly affect our impact on this KEPA, M – we, along with our peers and other players in our industry, can affect our
impact on this KEPA, L – we have no choices currently to change our impact on this KEPA)
Are the current / potential impacts significant in comparison to other industries or peers in the same sector?
(H – we are one of the top companies in our industry, which influences this issue, M – we are not a major player in our industry, which
influences this issue, L – our industry does not influences this issue)

Sample Business Considerations:
Does this KEPA represent a cost to the organization?
(H – this currently is or will be a significant cost, M – this represents a cost, but not significant, L – this does not represent a cost and we do
not anticipate it will)
Are there short- or long-term reputational risks or opportunities associated with the KEPA?
(H – our influential stakeholders care significantly about this issue, M – the general public cares about this issue, L – few or no stakeholders
care about this issue)
Would addressing the risks / opportunities support the organization’s business strategy and objectives?
(H – this issue directly supports our business and growth goals, M – this issue aligns with our business and growth goals, L – this issue does
not relate to our business or growth goals)

Green Portfolio Framework 7 09

  • 1. GREEN PORTFOLIO FRAMEWORK CAPTURING OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE ENVIRONMENTAL AND BUSINESS PERFORMANCE JULY 2009
  • 2. GREEN PORTOLIO FRAMEWORK WELCOME & CONTENTS Welcome to the Green Portfolio Framework, a process & set of resources designed to enable managers to measure & improve business & environmental performance. The Green Portfolio Framework (GPF) was developed through Environmental Defense Fund’s (EDF) partnership with private equity industry leader Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR) and pilot tested with three portfolio companies in 2008. The pilot helped the three companies – U.S. Foodservice, PRIMEDIA and Sealy Corporation – together realize savings of $16 million per year and avoid 25,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions, 3,000 tons of paper products and 650 tons of material waste annually. This presentation provides a working version of our Green Portfolio Framework Handbook and includes a number of resources to help you get started or continue tracking and improving business and environmental performance on an ongoing basis. Specific resources include: • Overview of the Green Portfolio Framework (p 4) – Summary of the steps for implementing the GPF. • Environmental Performance Metrics (p 5) – Table identifying the framework’s Key Environmental Performance Areas (KEPAs) and the related core (absolute) and management (productivity) metrics for tracking and improving performance. • Company Implementation Playbook (p 6) – Guide and timeline for implementing the GPF. • Company Example (p 7) – Illustrative example of a company implementation of the GPF. • Company Resources (p 12) – Worksheets and available tools and resources for assessing and improving your company’s environmental performance. • Materiality Assessment Table & Matrix (p 13) – Resources to help evaluate and prioritize the KEPAs based on what is most relevant to your organization. • Additional Resources (p 16)– List of tools and resources to help assess and improve your company’s environmental performance. • GHG Conversion Factors (p 17) – Common GHG conversion factors for determining GHG emissions. • Case Studies (p 18) – U.S. Foodservice, PRIMEDIA and Sealy case studies summarizing 2008 actions, results, and future plans. • Background on EDF (p 23) – Background on EDF’s history, accomplishments, approach, results and corporate partners. We believe this process is a meaningful way to build value for your organization, especially in difficult economic times, and hope that you find these resources useful. We look forward to hearing about your results and lessons learned. Environmental Defense Fund 2 July 2009 – Working Draft

  • 13. GREEN PORTFOLIO FRAMEWORK MATERIALITY ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS Use the Materiality Assessment Table & Matrix on the following slides to assess the impacts of your operations on the five KEPAs & the related business implications for your company. Use the following resources to assess the impact of your operations on each Key Environmental Performance Areas (KEPAs: GHG, waste, water, forest resources and priority chemicals) and the related business implications for your company. Evaluate the environmental and business impact (high, medium, or low) of each value chain stage (Supply Chain (S), Operations & Facilities (O), Distribution & Fleet (D), and Use & Disposal (U)) on the five KEPAs using considerations like the ones below and the table on the following page. Then plot the results according to their business and environmental impact on the Materiality Assessment Matrix. Sample Environmental Considerations: Do the organization’s activities impact or have the potential to impact the KEPA? (H – our core business impacts this issue, M – our non-core business impacts this issue, L – our business does not impact this issue) Does the organization have direct control or influence over the impact on the KEPA? (H – our choices directly affect our impact on this KEPA, M – we, along with our peers and other players in our industry, can affect our impact on this KEPA, L – we have no choices currently to change our impact on this KEPA) Are the current / potential impacts significant in comparison to other industries or peers in the same sector? (H – we are one of the top companies in our industry, which influences this issue, M – we are not a major player in our industry, which influences this issue, L – our industry does not influences this issue) Sample Business Considerations: Does this KEPA represent a cost to the organization? (H – this currently is or will be a significant cost, M – this represents a cost, but not significant, L – this does not represent a cost and we do not anticipate it will) Are there short- or long-term reputational risks or opportunities associated with the KEPA? (H – our influential stakeholders care significantly about this issue, M – the general public cares about this issue, L – few or no stakeholders care about this issue) Would addressing the risks / opportunities support the organization’s business strategy and objectives? (H – this issue directly supports our business and growth goals, M – this issue aligns with our business and growth goals, L – this issue does not relate to our business or growth goals) Environmental Defense Fund 13 July 2009 – Working Draft
