3.  Sustainable development pathway, can, therefore, be
constructed through an integrated approach, involving key
elements of the three pillars

4.  How do you shift from a non-sustainable pathway
toward a sustainable pathway?
 Problems
 Legacy investment in non-sustainable technologies,
processes and systems
 Sustainable development viewed as an expense, not as
an opportunity
 Poor environment for innovation

5.  “You can’t ignore the impact your company has on the
community and the environment. CEO’s used to frame
thoughts like these in the context of moral responsibility,
but now, it’s also about growth and innovation. In the
future, it will be the only way we do business.”
Paul Cescau, CEO, Unilever
 “Sustainability has moved from the fringes of the business
world to the top of the agenda for shareholders, employees,
regulators, and customers…Any miscalculation of issues
related to sustainability can have serious repercussions on
how the world judges a company and values its shares.”
Sunny Misser, PricewaterhouseCoopers global leader of Sustainable Business Solutions

7.  reduce the carbon footprint of the “drink in your hand”
25% by 2020
 build a 1.2-mile pipeline
 pipeline eliminated the need for an average of 70
tanker trucks per day
 reducing the company’s carbon emissions by
approximately 20 million metric tons per year

8.  The cogeneration boiler Clean Development Mechanism
(CDM) project
 monitored emissions and reduced/removed greenhouse
gases by using the annual inventory
 eliminated seven old boilers and diesel fuel-based power
generators, as well as the disposal of biomass waste in the
landfill.
 The certified emissions reductions between 2005 and 2012
totaled 11,11,861 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents

9.  McCain Delmas had the highest water-to product ratio
 McCain Global’s “Search for Pools”initiative
 repaired water valves and used check lists to stop all water
leaks. Weekly meetings reviewed progress on all
outstanding action items
 used presentations, posters, training, and continual
reinforcement in daily meetings
 In two-year period, the water reduction program delivered
approximately $138,000 (R$1.5 million ZAR) in savings

12.  The Rural Development Initiative
(RDI) focuses on improving
crop yields, access to markets, and
incomes for farmers; enhancing
educational opportunities and combating child labor;
and increasing access to basic health care,
improved nutrition, and safe drinking water.
 In 2008, Cargill and CARE launched a five-year, $10 million
program called the RDI.
 RDI has helped improve the livelihoods of more than
100,000 people around the world

13.  implemented policies and
procedures to improve
work/life balance, such as
flexible working and
dependents leave, an annual Family Fun Day
 awareness days with health experts; literature and
advice on stress awareness, alcohol awareness and
smoking cessation; an after-work running club
 reduced staff turnover by more than half to 14.2%,
sickness absence to 3.2%, and accidents to 36 in 2012.

14.  Rethinking and redefining GDP
 The need to include the 5 capitals:
 Human
 Social
 Natural
 Manufactured
 Financial
 Indigenous business development
 Engagement of communities in sustainable development
and growth of enterprise
 Innovation of existing processes
 Development of micro-enterprise
 Authentic indigenous solutions

15.  creating long-term relationships
with farmers, supporting
sustainable farming,
strengthening the supply chain,
encouraging stability, creating transparency and
traceability, correlating price and coffee quality
 a fully transparent pricing system that pays premiums
to farmers who produce coffee above the standard
quality generally produced in their regions. The
farmers have re-invested these premiums to develop
innovative organic agriculture techniques on their
farms

16.  farmer cooperatives improved
the economic security of
smallholder farmers
 supported better and more
sustainable agricultural practices. These practices are
expected to lead to higher, long-term productivity (higher
yields per hectare), which is linked to better market access,
increased income, and improved social and environmental
conditions.
 In crop year 2012-2013, farmers produced close to 90,000
metric tons of certified cocoa, for which Cargill paid $8.4
million to producer groups

17.  The Examples mentioned above are the suppliers of
McDonald’s
 This is the way how McDonald’s achieved Sustainable
development’
 So Why can’t Others

18. The Green Growth Roadmap lays out seven key priority accesses:
1. Access to water resources management and sanitation
2. Access to food security (agriculture) and non‐chemical products
3. Access to sustainable land‐use
4. Access to renewable energy and energy efficiency
5. Access to information and knowledge
6. Access to means for better mobility
7. Access to finance and investments
