2 Agenda Product and production site related environmental measures Drivers, activities, active parties Software solutions for environmental measures For products GaBi software For corporation SoFi software GaBi Software

3 Product and production site related environmental measures Definition Product related environmental measures Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Design for Environment (DfE) Design for Recycling (DfR)... Production site related environmental measures Internal benchmarking Process audits Environmental Reports Sustainability reporting based on guidelines from Greenhouse Reporting Initiative (GRI)...

4 Product and production site related environmental measures Drivers and reasons for LCA activities (I) Public drivers like Integrated Product Policy (IPP) promote life cycle thinking and management In the course of this, Environmental Product Declaration (EPDs) based on LCA gain momentum Existing and even more upcoming regulation as for example the CO 2 emission trading require the attention of effected industry Especially in the automotive/transportation, electronic and construction industry, the application of e.g. LCA as a tool for support of strategic decisions regarding products plays an important role These activities can be conducted effectively only if information from the involved up-steam supply chain are available. Therefore associations like IISI, EAA, ICA, IZA,... analyze their productions and production processes to support the necessary information

5 Product and production site related environmental measures Drivers and reasons for LCA activities (I) Also the use in day to day work in the design of parts / monitoring of the environmental performance of the products is widespread For a company, knowledge on environmental effects is an appropriate information learn more about the own products in a lifecycle perspective demonstrate competence in product related environmental questions differentiate from competitors intensify and improve customer relations build up an internal procedure for sustainable product development...

6 Product and production site related environmental measures Applications of GaBi 4 Life Cycle Assessment LCA framework Goal and scope definition ISO Inventory analysis ISO Impact assessment ISO Interpretation ISO Direct applications: Product development and improvement Strategic planning Public policy making Marketing Other

7 Product and production site related environmental measures Applications of GaBi 4 Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS II) The new Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS II; regulation (EC) No.761/2001) requires that the companies participating have to:...consider all environmental aspects of its activities, products and services... An organization shall consider both direct and indirect environmental aspects of its activities, products and services. complementary balance core balance secondary EA complementary balance Supplier indirect EA indirect EA direct EA indirect EA indirect EA primary EA Materials Parts OEM Utilization EoL primary EA EA: environmental aspects LCA disposal

8 Greenhouse Gas Accounting Emission Trading Each company participating gets certificates for the start emission. Emitting more carbon dioxide than allowed means buying additional certificates but means also avoiding cost intensive environmental investments. Emitting less carbon dioxide means selling certificates. Activity Instruments Joint Implementation (JI): Winning emissions certificates out of projects between states, which are committed to the emission reduction Clean Development Mechanism (CDM): Winning emissions certificates out of projects in states, which are not committed to the emission reduction, these are mostly developing countries Emission Trading Scheme (ETS): Trading of emissions certificates between states, which are committed to the emission reduction Advantages Collection of all relevant greenhouse gas emissions. Identification of energy devourers and proposals for avoiding carbon dioxide. Identification of the company s risk in respect of climate policy. Avoiding emissions where the reduction potentials are the most cost-effective (economical advantages caused by emission trading). Possibility for public effective environmental communication. Disadvantages Additional costs for companies caused by investments and the acquisition of emission certificates.

9 Product and production site related environmental measures Applications of GaBi 4 - Integrated Product Policy (IPP): Preparation for integrated product policy (IPP): Goal: Improvement of the sustainability aspects of products. Therefore it is necessary to analysis the complete life cycle. Status: IPP is a voluntary activity of industries. Currently a green book exists defining the major contents. A white book was expected for end of 2001 (is delayed). IPP is focusing on the use of existing environmental standards like DIN ISO and DIN ISO LCA is a major decision tool within IPP to quantify and evaluate potential environmental impacts.

10 Product and production site related environmental measures Benefits from environmental activities Internal benefits Detection of strategic risks and environmental issues Identification of relevant steps in the complete life cycle of products Development of sustainable products Support to fulfil legal requirements Communication with politics and authorities Improvement of motivation of employees EMAS II support External benefits Increase of image due to ecological considerations Supporting environmental innovations and decrease of environmental impacts Competitive advantage by inclusion of environmental aspects

11 Product and production site related environmental measures Benefits from environmental activities - communication Internal: intranet newsletter workshops setting of guidelines External: with authorities during the process of finding new production sites basis for discussions with politicians during the process of defining upcoming regulations with non-governmental organisations with the society (e.g. environmental report, ) with share holders

12 Agenda Product and production site related environmental measures Drivers, activities, active parties Software solutions for environmental measures For products GaBi software For corporation SoFi software GaBi Software

13 Software solutions for environmental measures Products GaBi 4 software system - general information New technologies and features make GaBi 4 an universal tool addressing the needs for sustainability data administration and evaluation on the organization, facility, process or product life cycle level.

GaBi 4 analyst and scenario manager GaBi 4 editor for material flow plans GaBi 4 data base manager

16 Software solutions for environmental measures Products - client statements: General Motors on our Life Cycle Assessment software - GaBi: GaBi 3 Professional was adopted as a common software tool for life cycle analysis studies and to utilize the world's largest database of life cycle inventory data related to the automotive industry. T. Gibson, General Motors: The authors consider GaBi clearly the best software package for use within General Motors. The rollout of GaBi software to other parts of the organization in preference to other environmental LCA tools has begun. Mrs. Alice de BRAUER, VP Environmental policy at Renault: Since many years, the design of Renaults vehicles and its industrial sites incorporate an ecological dimension. Life Cycle Assessment is one of the useful tools to develop environmental-friendly vehicles. PE Europe supports us effectively in terms of methods and tools to extend the ecological dimension in our car design Source:
