2 About Barco You will find us where images are critical to professionals NYSE Euronext 90+ 3, International company Headquartered in Belgium Stocklisted (BAR) on NYSE Euronext Brussels Presence in more than 90 countries Employees Billion euro sales in 2012

3 Business areas Four core divisions, four wholly-owned ventures Projection Healthcare Advanced Visualization Defense & Aerospace Lighting LED ATM software Design services

4 Flagship products 43, million unlimited 10x 1 click 71 C Lumens for world s brightest cinema projector Pixels of grayscale perfection Number of sources with Barco s networked control rooms concept More silent than competition in its class Share your ideas on screen with just one click Our rugged displays can withstand temperatures this high

5 Barco s role in the GreenElec project Contribute to build components inventory by providing Full Material Declarations for PCBAs Discussing possible improvements in: PCBA design: interfaces, connections, components with higher recyclability Product: mechanics, connections, ease of disassembly Implementing improvements on carrier product 5

6 Barco s ECO office: aims and services Set up in 2010 Objectives: To support the Barco community in ensuring all Barco products are compliant with worldwide current and future requirements. To drive the integration of sustainable development principles into Barco products and processes. Handling customer requests related to environmental compliance, ecodesign, energy efficiency and recyclability Issuing certificates of compliance for environmental standards such as RoHS, REACH and WEEE Directives Reporting the compliance status of our Bills of Materials during the NPI process Providing compliance and ecodesign advice to R&D during the NPI process 6

7 Barco s environmental management system ECO monitoring ECO sourcing ECO design ECO requirements EMS ECO communication 7

8 ECO monitoring: Barco Supplier Sustainability Programme commitment more than 1200 Barco suppliers have been requested to proof their commitment to environmental compliance by sending and exchanging information about the chemical composition of their products. training Barco has provided its suppliers with educational material explaining what are the obligations set by international environmental standards Full disclosure As part of its proactive approach to environmental compliance, Barco is following the international trend to opt for encouraging suppliers to provide a Full Material Disclosure 8

9 ECO monitoring: our data collection activities WHY: To achieve compliance we need to know what is in our products HOW: We collect material information from every supplier for every product part WHO: We do not do this alone. This is done by GreenSoft, US company based in California with a data factory in China and offices around the world. Our sourcing department helps us to solve escalations. 9

10 ECO monitoring: GreenSoft Technology Who is GreenSoft? Collect Interpret certificates US company founded in 2002 Specialized in providing environmental compliance content management tools Full material declarations Validate store GreenSoft collects data and has developed software to manage and report on data ISO 9001 certified maintain update Test reports Main customers: Thales, Texas Instruments, etc. 10

11 ECO monitoring: data collection process Sourcing department engages supplier to provide compliance evidence GreenSoft collects information from suppliers GreenSoft elaborates and validates information Sourcing department supports escalations ECO office issues reports of compliance 11

12 Environmental data requirements Required Data RoHS CoC Weight end product List of Batteries Full Material Declaration Barco to follow up Deliver to: ECO List of Exemptions if not possible Restricted Substance Decl. if not possible REACH CoC Acceptable Formats Declaration in BOMcheck.net IPC 1751A (Class 3) or IPC-1752 (Class 5) Declaration using Barco template Supplier's own format Internal Process GreenSoft to interpret/validate the data and deliver data package for GDMgr Roll-up and reporting substances on product level Page 12

13 Page 13 Barco template for FMDs

14 ECO monitoring: full material declarations We ask our suppliers primarily for Full Material Declarations: Why? FMD is not a legal requirement but is an element of a tactical approach to compliance management This allows us to de-risk our products against future regulations This allows us to de-risk products already during the NPI process This allows us to answer customer surveys / customer requests This helps us to conduct LCA studies more accurately This allows us to locate industry-restricted materials in our products and to seek for alternatives (Plasticizers, flame retardants This allows us to have an indication of the recycling value or economic residual value of our products 14

15 ECO monitoring: Tool How are the data stored? We use the GreenData Manager tool (9K USD -> 57K USD) - Includes all data from suppliers - We can issue reports against ROHS,REACH and any other substance list (also customer-tailored) - We can search for a substance across all our BOMs - No link to our ErP system yet. Tool has limited access. - COST OF THE ASSESSMENT: 10-5 USD * part (volume dependant) - COST OF THE MAINTENANCE: 5-2,5 USD * part 15

16 Full Material Declarations IPC-1752A Reports against customized rules China ROHS compliance table 16

17 GreenData Manager Setting up special substances rules 17

18 GreenData Manager Example of Full Material Declaration 18

19 ECO monitoring: data collection for PCBAs PCBAs: Barco collects data for all standard parts in the BOM EMSs give info for soldering paste and process EMSs give info about PCB manufacturer ECO contacts PCB manufacturer for data 19

20 ECO monitoring: data collection for mechanical parts Mechanical Parts New process established with involvement of mechanics working group within Barco - ECO gets list of parts from ProEngineer tool - List contains weight and material for parts - GreenSoft checks list of surface treatments - ECO office checks list of paints suppliers 20

21 Conflict Minerals In 2011 Barco starts investigation in the supply chain on conflict minerals (gold, tin, tantalum, tungsten) More than 200 suppliers investigated, 80% of response Use of EICC forms 1635 smelters identified and reported 2013 exercise extended to other divisions 21

22 Results of our assessment 2013 Total parts in database: Total FMDs: Total CoCs: For which parts we do not get FMD Average duration of assessment for one display Mechanics, plastics, PCBs Beginning: 6-12 months After 3 yrs of assessment: 3-4 months 22

23 Data for Greenelec PBA Total parts for PBA Total FMDs For which parts we do not get FMD 790 components+pcb components+pcb Resettable fuse, ferrite beat, mechanics 23

24 Issues encountered Suppliers not ready to collect and share information Very difficult to get material declarations for plastic parts due to confidentiality and IP reasons Collecting data requires infrastructure and resources: tools and people to collect, interpret, validate and maintain information The industry lacks a common standard/way to share environmental information Concept of full material declarations difficult to accept by manufacturers as it is not mandatory by law Internal Change Management 24
