Climate Change Strategy

> Zero Carbon Initiative enacted in 2007 incorporates energy conservation and purchase of renewable energy and landfill gas for its facilities and operations, and offsets for business air travel
> Design for Environment approach to reducing energy demands throughout product life-cycle, including material sourcing, production, distribution, customer use, and recycle/reclamation
> Less-than-Truckload Direct and Geographic Manufacturing programs to streamline product distribution and reduce transportation emissions

Targets

> Zero Carbon Initiative: reduce carbon intensity 15% per dollar revenue from 2007 to 2012 and achieve net zero global GHG emissions by 2008, maintaining through 2012
> Reduce GHG emissions from operations and products by 25 million tonnes by Energy Smart operational settings
> Reduce overall transportation requirements by 25% by increasing capacity of flat railroad cars, using more multi-pack configurations and shipping efficiencies
> Reduce CO2 emissions by 40,000 tonnes by implementing server-managed power management for customers between FY2008-2012
