|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 301 | 2014 | Tesco | United Kingdom | Timber | Partial | We have carried out a risk assessment for all wood and wood products in the UK but have not carried out a risk assessment for packaging. | Material risk | Compliance with the EU Timber Regulation came into force in March 2013 and we are working to ensure compliance across our supply base. | Material risk | We know that deforestation and sustainable sourcing is an area our stakeholders, namely customers and NGOs, care about. Sourcing products that could contribue to deforestation would lead to a loss of trust and confidence in our brand, and to NGO or pressure group campaign activity. | Non-material risk | Key operational risks for timber are price volatility and security of legal and sustainable supply. These are currently non-material risks but the risk level may increase in the future. | |
| 302 | 2014 | Tesco | United Kingdom | Palm Oil | Yes | We have carried out a risk assessment for all palm oil used in our UK products, and have carried out an initial mapping exercise across the Group (our non-UK markets). This initial mapping exercise was carried out in 2011 and we are currently in the process of gathering the most up to date information from the Group. | No risk | Currently no relevant regulation regarding the use of sustainable palm oil and therefore no regulatory risk. | Material risk | We know that deforestation and sustainable sourcing is an area our stakeholders, namely customers and NGOs, care about. Sourcing products that could contribue to deforestation would lead to a loss of trust and confidence in our brand, and to NGO or pressure group campaign activity. | Non-material risk | Key operational risks for palm oil are price volatility and security of legal and sustainable supply. These are currently non-material risks but the risk level may increase in the future. | |
| 303 | 2014 | Tesco | United Kingdom | Cattle Products | Partial | We have risk assessed our food products e.g. corned beef but have not yet carried out a risk assessment for non-food e.g. leather products. | No risk | Currently no relevant regulation regarding the use of cattle products and therefore no regulatory risk. | Material risk | We know that deforestation and sustainable sourcing is an area our stakeholders, namely customers and NGOs, care about. Sourcing products that could contribue to deforestation would lead to a loss of trust and confidence in our brand, and to NGO or pressure group campaign activity. | Material risk | Last year the discovery of horsemeat in products sold by major UK retailers, including Tesco, impacted consumer trust in our brand and highlighted a material sourcing risk for cattle products around the quality of the product. | |
| 304 | 2014 | Tesco | United Kingdom | Soy | Yes | We have carried out a risk assessment for the UK, including soy used as animal feed as well as ingredients in our products. | No risk | Currently no relevant regulation regarding the use of soy and therefore no regulatory risk. | Material risk | We know that deforestation and sustainable sourcing is an area our stakeholders, namely customers and NGOs, care about. Sourcing products that could contribue to deforestation would lead to a loss of trust and confidence in our brand, and to NGO or pressure group campaign activity. | Non-material risk | Key operational risks for soy are price volatility and security of legal and sustainable supply. These are currently non-material risks but the risk level may increase in the future. | |

| 308 | 2014 | The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. | USA | Timber | Yes | Review our products and suppliers to ensure compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct. Our audit process includes a Sustainability Initiatives and Social Responsibility Questionnaire. We will only buy directly from FSC-certified sources. | No risk | We are in compliance. | Material risk | As we market natural and organic products, our stakeholders and consumers expect us to source sustainably. | Material risk | A catastrophic event reducing or eliminating a crop or commodity.could drive operational risk, as well as social awareness of these issues that may not be catastrophic in nature. | |
| 309 | 2014 | The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. | USA | Palm Oil | Yes | Review our products and suppliers to ensure compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct. Our audit process includes a Sustainability Initiatives and Social Responsibility Questionnaire. We will only buy directly from RSPO-certified sources. | No risk | We are in compliance. | Material risk | Palm oil has a problematic reputation and we do seek alternatives when feasible. Although we only buy RSPO-certified directly, someone could make a mistake and damage our reputation. | Material risk | A catastrophic event reducing or eliminating a crop or commodity.could drive operational risk, as well as social awareness of these issues that may not be catastrophic in nature. | |
| 310 | 2014 | The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. | USA | Soy | Yes | Review our products and suppliers to ensure compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct. Our audit process includes a Sustainability Initiatives and Social Responsibility Questionnaire. We work with the Soyfoods Association of North America. | No risk | We are in compliance. | Material risk | No risk; periodic media reports drive consumer inquiries which are answered. | Material risk | A catastrophic event reducing or eliminating a crop or commodity.could drive operational risk, as well as social awareness of these issues that may not be catastrophic in nature. | |
| 311 | 2014 | The Hershey Company | USA | Palm Oil | No | No risk | Material risk | NGO campaigns, high level media coverage of palm oil and its presence in consumer products. | No risk | ||||
| 312 | 2013 | Travis Perkins | United Kingdom | Palm Oil | Yes or 100% third party certified raw materials already achieved | Physical or operational risk We are too far removed from any operation deforestation risks arising from our use of this commodity to understand what, if any, mitigation is employed. The risk is high because it is unknown. Regulatory Risk There is no current or immediate threat of regulation that would impact on our current procurement practices around this commodity group. The regulatory risk is low. There are voluntary measures in place already around responsible procurement and we would encourage our 3rd party suppliers to move their supply chains towards these measures. Reputational risk The link to deforestation may not yet be made to this commodity in most stakeholder’s minds. Small amounts of this commodity are used in the value chains of our colleague meals. We don’t believe that there is a material risk to our reputation from 3rd parties’ use of this commodity in this way at this scale. Financial Risk There is no material financial risk to TP from this commodity group. | No risk | Non-material risk | No risk | ||||
| 313 | 2013 | Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. | Japan | Timber | Yes or 100% third party certified raw materials already achieved | ・We carry out risk assessment for printing paper, which has the highest purchasing value and is thought to have the highest deforestation risk. Every year, we carry out surveys on the legality of raw materials (wood chips and pulp) at all suppliers with which we did business in the previous year. In the questionnaire, we ask suppliers to disclose the country of origin of raw materials for paper, classify by method of proving legality, and disclose procurement ratios. For evaluation, we divide into 3 ranks of proof or legality and evaluate in order of lowest risk. ・We also obtain "Declarations to the Toppan Group" from all suppliers. These are declarations that illegally logged wood is not used . | No risk | No regulatory risk in Japan. | Non-material risk | Depending upon the supplier, there are companies that have a bad reputation among NPOs because of activities such as destruction of the natural environment. We therefore believe that procurement of paper from such companies carries a reputational risk. | Material risk | Because the number of possible suppliers for special paper is limited, there is a possibility of business risk such as not being able to procure materials or not being able to procure them in time to meet delivery deadlines. | |
| 314 | 2014 | Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. | Japan | Timber | Yes | EU timber regulation(regulatory risk),Paper manufacturers that are not evaluated well by NPOs(reputational risk),Substitute procurement for a special paper(operational risk) | No risk | No regulatory risk in Japan. | Non-material risk | Depending upon the supplier, there are companies that have a bad reputation among NPOs because of activities such as destruction of the natural environment. We therefore believe that procurement of paper from such companies carries a reputational risk. | Material risk | Because the number of possible suppliers for special paper is limited, there is a possibility of business risk such as not being able to procure materials or not being able to procure them in time to meet delivery deadlines. | |
| 315 | 2013 | Transcontinental Inc. | Canada | Timber | Yes or 100% third party certified raw materials already achieved | Transcontinental's paper purchasing policy aims at buying paper that is either 100% recycled, or 100% from forests that are certified through the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) or Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). In the 2011-2012 Financial Year, Transcontinental saw 67% of its paper purchasing falling into these categories. Out of the remaining 33%, 29% of the purchased paper contains certified fiber, ranging from 10 to 70%. We also support the CBFA (Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement). | No risk | Non-material risk | As a large paper buyer, Transcontinental Inc. need to be sure that this large purchase is a responsible purchase. | Non-material risk | The only risk to buying certified papers lies in the availability of the supply. | ||
| 316 | 2013 | Transcontinental Inc. | Canada | Soy | No | As a large-scale printer, Transcontinental buys many types of inks from different suppliers. While some of the vegetal oil content can sometimes be found in the MSDS identification sheet of each ink, no overall calculation has been done in order to quantify this content and verify its impact on the forest. | No risk | No risk | No risk | ||||
| 317 | 2014 | Transcontinental Inc. | Canada | Timber | Yes | Transcontinental's paper purchasing policy aims at buying paper that is either 100% Recycled, or 100% from forests that are certified through the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) or Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). In the 2012-2013 Financial Year, Transcontinental Inc. saw 76% of its paper purchasing fall into this category. Out of the remaining 24%, 21% contains certified fiber ranging from 10% to 70%, while the remaining 3% is paper bought from well-known, high-reputation companies who can provide sourcing information. | No risk | Non-material risk | As a large paper buyer, TC Transcontinental needs to be sure that such a large purchase is a responsible purchase. The subject of deforestation is also highly publicized and companies can be targeted by environmental NGOs. | Material risk | The only risk to buying certified paper lies in the availability of the supply. | ||
| 318 | 2014 | Transcontinental Inc. | Canada | Soy | No | Transcontinental buys many types of inks from different suppliers. While some of the vegetal oil content can sometimes be found in the MSDS identification sheet of each ink, no overall calculation has been done to quantify this content and verify its sourcing and impact on the forest. | No risk | No risk | No risk | ||||
| 319 | 2013 | Travis Perkins | United Kingdom | Timber | Yes or 100% third party certified raw materials already achieved | Physical or operational risk Not all of our timber and timber fibre or derivative purchases are of certified well managed products. We know from our due diligence work around purchasing that there remains a high risk that a small number of purchases we make from traders in the EU will have inadvertently come from forest operations where the management is not yet good enough. We do not yet have full traceability on all our paper purchases. Regulatory risk As we directly import some timber based products in the EU we are subject to the EU Timber Regulations. There is then a risk of both product seizure and prosecution if our due diligence against the importation of illegal timber is not adequate. We have chosen to only import timber and timber fibre products covered by the regulation that are credibly certified to either FSC or PEFC. Reputational risk Timber remains a commodity which attracts lots of interest from both government and civil society. Since TP is a large timber trader we have a high profile in this area and are rightly subjected to a degree of scrutiny. Our customers, colleagues and investors all value the position we take on timber trading and consequently, turnover, employee brand and share price can all be affected by association to poor practice in the value chain. A high reputational risk remains. Financial risk Material financial risks are high because of the scale of our involvement with the commodity and could come about from regulatory seizure, customers boycotts or shareholder action. | Material risk | The EU due diligence legislation introduces a material threat of costs from fines or from timber confiscation arising from TP operator activities. Even when TP is the trader cost from supply interruptions because of supply chain failure are possible. | Material risk | Timber and joinery sales contribute about 1/5th of our turnover. We are consistently scrutinised by ENGOs, the supply chain, competitors and customers - all of whom will make judgements about our performance. To that end we are vulnerable to NGO expose, media attention and customer boycotts if we do not control our commodity purchases. | Material risk | Supply interruptions because of regulatory or civil society action in the UK could mean we would be temporally unable to supply some products. Government action in producer countries could mean that certain products need to be resourced, re specified or no longer traded. | |
| 320 | 2013 | Uni-Charm Corporation | Japan | Timber | Partial | We are using timber harvested from the forest certificated by third party or our suppliers’ forest | Material risk | It will be difficult to procure raw materials because of the tightening of regulations in EU and North America. | Material risk | Because our company doesn’t purchase forest resources directly, that risk is small to us. But we are dependent on our suppliers of confirmation operation of the situation of forest management. So we have indirectly risks. | Material risk | We have the potential to be difficult to choose materials because of the limit of sustainable forest. | |
| 321 | 2013 | Travis Perkins | United Kingdom | Cattle Products | Partial | Physical or operational risk We do not have full traceability of the leather in our safety products. Neither do we have any traceability over any other cattle products that 3rd parties use to deliver our colleague catering services. The risk of operational deforestation resulting from our use of the products is therefore high. Regulatory risk There is no current or immediate threat of regulation that would impact on our current procurement practices around this commodity group. The regulatory risk is low. Reputational risk The link to deforestation may not yet be made to this commodity in most stakeholder’s minds. We have a small but growing profile around leather goods but, moreover, have a high profile when it comes to any association with deforestation because of our timber business. We therefore take a sensitive view to the reputational risk from our use of cattle products and are likely to regard the risk as high. We use small amounts of beef or beef by-products in our colleague meals and don’t believe that there is a material risk to our reputation from our 3rd parties’ use of cattle products in this way at this scale. Financial Risk Loss of sales of leather goods because of either, a lack of raw material, or, because of consumer boycotts, would not be a materially high risk. However, the risk of a reputational decline because of a general association to deforestation would be likely to also affect turnover in our timber business. The financial risk here is appreciable. | No risk | Material risk | Screening now suggests that there is a low level of anxiety within stakeholders around cattle products and this could mean that our purchase of leather goods would be subject to NGO exposé or media attention. | Non-material risk | Whilst supply interruptions would be frustrating; leather goods are incidental in our companies product ranges and we could manage an exit of the market without material loss. | ||
| 322 | 2013 | Travis Perkins | United Kingdom | Soy | Yes or 100% third party certified raw materials already achieved | Physical or operational risk We are too far removed from any operation deforestation risks arising from our use of this commodity to understand what, if any, mitigation is employed.

Financial Risk There is no material financial risk to TP from this commodity group. | No risk | Non-material risk | No risk | ||||
| 323 | 2013 | Travis Perkins | United Kingdom | Biofuels | Partial | Physical or operational risk We get biofuels by default. We are too far removed from any operation deforestation risks arising from our use of this commodity to understand what, if any, mitigation is employed. The risk is high because it is unknown. Regulatory Risk EU Policy around biofuels would suggest that levels are likely to increase in diesel and petrol blends by default. Whilst there is not direct risk to us from this it has the effect of increasing both the operational and reputational risk. Reputational risk Our position is not distinguishable here from any other business in the EU since the use of the biofuel blend is mandated. We do not detect any stakeholder expectation on users of road fuel to actively engage in the setting of responsible procurements standards around the commodities used to manufacture the biofuel. The risk is low. Financial risk There is no material financial risk to TP from this commodity group. | Material risk | EU Road Transport Fuel Obligation without adequate safeguards on the sourcing of the bio fuels will introduce a risk across all businesses that use forecourt top ups of delivery vehicles and company cars or other vehicles | Non-material risk | No risk | |||
| 324 | 2014 | Travis Perkins | United Kingdom | Timber | Yes | Physical or operational risk Not all of our timber and timber fibre or derivative purchases are of certified well managed products.

| 326 | 2014 | Uni-Charm Corporation | Japan | Timber | Partial | We are using timber harvested from the forest certificated by third party or our suppliers’ forest | No risk | アジア中心に事業展開しており、現時点では考えられる規制Riskはない | Non-material risk | 紙おむつメーカーとして、多くの森林資源を使用している企業としてのイメージはあると思われ、他社が先駆けて森林認証ラベルなどを先行させることで売上げが20%程度低減してしまう可能性がある。 | Material risk | 森林の育成には時間がかかるので、計画とずれてしまうことで、育成が追いつかず、市場への供給量が搾られ、調達費用が10%程度上昇する可能性がる。 | |
| 327 | 2013 | Unilever plc | United Kingdom | Timber | Yes or 100% third party certified raw materials already achieved | Financial and Reputational - Unilever has been assessing the risks related to its paper and board (P&B) supply chain since 2010. Assessment of our suppliers includes deforestation and traceability issues. The key scope of the risk assessment is to look at the transparency of the supply chain, look for sustainability credentials through forest certification and related chain of custody certification and also understand the level of suppliers own understanding and their capabilities as they relate to sustainable wood fibre sourcing. In 2012, we assessed about 86% of our paper and board packaging suppliers and aim to reach 100% by 2013. In paper and board packaging, we currently use a tool - GTS (Global Traceability Solutions) - to manage this data collection and assessment. In addition, we have assessed 100% of our office paper suppliers in 21 key countries. We aim to have assessed all of our wood fibre based material/product supplier base by the end of 2014. This includes also indirect procurement materials such as all office paper supply, marketing materials, pallets etc. | Non-material risk | We see regulations that address deforestation as an opportunity. However, on both forest and palm oil, in the event that government regulatory bodies set up compulsory national standards while banning voluntary standards from being established or promoted, this can have consequences for the perception of these countries to tackle deforestation. | Material risk | NGO criticism against non-certified virgin wood fibre products. These can lead to consumer boycotts and harm our brands. | Material risk | Lack of sufficient, available certified sources. Also continued NGO criticism and concerns around deforestation even if sources are certified. | |
| 328 | 2013 | Unilever plc | United Kingdom | Palm Oil | Yes or 100% third party certified raw materials already achieved | Financial, Reputational, deforestation and outstanding land & social conflict issues. In 2012, as part of the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan, we made an additional commitment that 100% of our palm oil will be traced to certified mills by 2020. As a result, we have reviewed our current supplier relationships with the aim of moving to a long-term sourcing strategy with those suppliers that can guarantee traceability to the originating mill and supply base. We also make implicit in our sourcing that we have a commitment to zero deforestation and will not source from areas in the world that have known incidences of social conflict between communities and the plantation. | Non-material risk | Upcoming European labelling policy for all vegetable oils, including palm oil, to be operative in 2014, although this will not affect the legality status of actual palm oil sourcing. We expect that there could be unintended impacts of biofuel regulation. | Material risk | NGO criticism on the deforestation links of palm oil cultivation. These can lead to consumer boycotts and harm our brands. We can also be held accountable for the action of our suppliers over allegations of land use and community conflict. | Material risk | Continued NGO criticism and concerns around the palm oil industry in general, even if sources are certified by the RSPO. We are addressing this risk by seeking to strengthen the monitoring and enforcement mechanisms of the RSPO. | |
| 329 | 2013 | Unilever plc | United Kingdom | Cattle Products | Yes or 100% third party certified raw materials already achieved | We have mapped out the origins of all our meat products including beef, pork, chicken and seafood. Beef represents 12% of our total meat purchases, with >80% sourced in Europe and the USA. | Material risk | There could always be unintended regulatory impacts such as biofuels on animal feed price or regulatory pressure on linking animal feed to deforestation, even if the beef production was in Europe. | Material risk | For our branded products such as Unox and for Knorr bouillon because it is an iconic brand and product. | Non-material risk | Our overall beef purchase is small and the sourcing could be moved to different origins. | |
| 330 | 2013 | Unilever plc | United Kingdom | Soy | Yes or 100% third party certified raw materials already achieved | Reputational and Financial - We have mapped the origins of our soy crops. More than two-thirds of our crop originates in the USA, the remainder is sourced from Brazil and Argentina. We have engaged with our soy suppliers to get their commitment to sustainable soy standards. | Material risk | If we took no action there is a real possibility of regulatory risk (e.g. at EU level) linked to deforestation and also the unintended consequences of biofuel legislation. | Material risk | NGO criticism on the deforestation links of soy cultivation. These can lead to consumer boycotts and harm our brands. | Material risk | Lack of sufficient, available certified sources. Also continued NGO criticism of RTRS and concerns around deforestation even if sources are certified. | |
| 331 | 2014 | Wesfarmers | Australia | Cattle Products | Yes | Coles: Risk assessment has been undertaken however considered low risk as majority of beef is produced in Australia where it is heavily regulated. Regulatory, reputational and operational deforestation risk considered low. Target:Not applicable for this division. Kmart:Not applicable for this division. Officeworks: Not applicable for this division. Bunnings: Not applicable for this division. | Material risk | Coles: The risk exists but our policies are designed to mitigate risk of all kinds. | Material risk | Coles: The risk exists but our policies are designed to mitigate risk of all kind. | Material risk | ||

| 333 | 2014 | Unilever plc | United Kingdom | Timber | Yes | • In 2013, Paper and Board (P&B) reporting was carried out twice in the year. Our assessment covered 85% of our supply base for P&B packaging materials using a reporting tool – Global Traceability Solutions. The questionnaire covers traceability of fibre to country of origin, declaration if the materials are certified against FSC, PEFC or recycled, and includes verification by our suppliers of the sustainability materials that go into making our packaging products. These assessments enable us to determine the volumes of wood fibre we source and the sustainable sourcing of the materials. • In January 2013, Unilever facilitated a sustainability workshop with our key P&B suppliers to help shape the Unilever P&B 2020 vision and determine the challenges and opportunities to scale up the sustainability in the sector. The findings of the workshop, while internal, helped improve the reporting process and shape the revised paper and board sourcing policy that will be published in 2014. It affirms Unilever and our suppliers commitment to work together to make the reporting of our wood fibres more transparent and robust. Unilever regularly engages with WWF and Greenpeace and was involved in the active dialogues with Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) on their sustainable transformation. At an industry level, Unilever actively led the publication of the Pulp and Paper Sourcing Policy in The Consumer Goods Forum and supported the dialogue in the Tropical Forest Alliance breakout group on transparency in pulp and paper sourcing. | Non-material risk | • Unilever sees regulations that address deforestation as an opportunity. However, on both forest and palm oil, in the event that government regulatory bodies set up compulsory national standards while banning voluntary standards from being established or promoted, this can have consequences for the perception of these countries to tackle deforestation. | Material risk | • NGO criticism against non-certified virgin wood fibre products. These can lead to consumer boycotts and harm Unilever's brands. | Material risk | • Lack of sufficient, available certified sources. Also, continued NGO criticism and concerns around deforestation even if sources are certified. | |
| 334 | 2014 | Unilever plc | United Kingdom | Palm Oil | Yes | • In 2013, Unilever committed to a public palm oil policy that includes three principles: to halt deforestation; no new development on peat regardless of depth; and to stop the exploitation of peoples and communities. The policy covers our suppliers and their third party suppliers. • Given the leadership role we play in sustainable palm oil, Unilever is often at the centre of attacks by NGOs and we recognised the constructive role that civil society can play in transforming this industry. Unilever regularly engages in discussions with organisations including WWF, Forest Peoples Program and Greenpeace on our progress and to discuss issues affecting the industry today. • In 2013, our senior leadership, including CEO Paul Polman, invited key oil palm producers and traders to discuss how we can collectively work together to shape a more positive palm oil brand and engage actively with consumers on the benefits of palm oil use. This resulted in the identification of the key issues the industry will need to tackle together over the next 1-3 years. | Non-material risk | • Upcoming European labelling policy for all vegetable oils, including palm oil, to be operative in 2014, although this will not affect the legality status of actual palm oil sourcing. We expect that there could be unintended impacts of biofuel regulation and further pressures from consumers to ban palm oil. | Material risk | • NGO criticism on the deforestation links of palm oil cultivation. These can lead to consumer boycotts and harm Unilever's brands. We can also be held accountable for the action of our suppliers over allegations of land use and community conflict. | Material risk | • Continued NGO criticism and concerns around the palm oil industry in general, even if sources are certified by the RSPO. Unilever is addressing this risk by seeking to strengthen the monitoring and enforcement mechanisms of the RSPO. | |
| 335 | 2014 | Unilever plc | United Kingdom | Cattle Products | Yes | • In 2013, Unilever mapped out the origins of all meat products including beef, pork, chicken and seafood. Beef now only represents 7% of our total meat purchases since our sale of the Bifi and Peperami brands in April 2014. Given the small volumes of cattle products in our supply chain, the commodity represents a relatively low risk to Unilever. In addition, for beef based by-products, we are moving to vertically integrated suppliers enabling traceability to the slaughter houses and farms. | Material risk | • There could always be unintended regulatory impacts such as biofuels on animal feed price or regulatory pressure on linking animal feed to deforestation, even if the beef production was in Europe. | Material risk | • For our branded products such as Unox and for Knorr bouillon because it is an iconic brand and product. | Non-material risk | • Our overall beef purchase is small and the sourcing could be moved to different origins. | |
| 336 | 2014 | Unilever plc | United Kingdom | Soy | Yes | • In 2013, more than two-thirds of our soy crop originated in the USA, with the remainder sourced from Brazil and Argentina. We have engaged with our soy suppliers globally to get their commitment to sustainable soy standards. | Material risk | • If we took no action there is a real possibility of regulatory risk (e.g. at EU level) linked to deforestation and also the unintended consequences of biofuel legislation. | Material risk | • NGO criticism on the deforestation links of soy cultivation. These can lead to consumer boycotts and harm Unilever's brands. In 2014 we completed the WWF Soy Report Card. | Material risk | • Lack of purchasing by significant soy users, such as retailers and animal feed companies, of available certified sources. Also continued NGO criticism of RTRS and concerns around deforestation even if sources are certified. | |

Severe weather or other natural events capable of affecting the company's assets - standing timber and manufacturing facilities - have long been at the core of our risk management practices. We manage our timberlands for a variety of risks, including losses from storm blow-down, pest infestation, fire and drought. We locate our forestlands in geographies with manageable incidence rates of storms, drought and fire. We use regionally adapted sustainable forest management practices to reduce the effects of drought on regeneration, and we use thinning to reduce the potential effects of drought and insect attack. We also have one of the world's largest - if not the largest - traditional tree-breeding programs, through which one of our focuses has been to develop tree varieties that are able to withstand the regional extremes in climate that can occur over the multi-decade growth period for forests. We continue to build on over five decades of long-term growth and yield research to understand growth trends over time and their relationship to local and regional climate. This information forms a basis for adaptive management to address possible shifts in our growing environment. We invest in on-going monitoring of our forests to provide an early indication of change in adaptation and reforestation success. Our bio-mathematical models of tree growth in response to growing environment, climate and cultural practices enable assessment of possible vulnerabilities to shifts in climate that may affect our forests. We regularly update our forest timber inventories, growth projections, harvest schedules and planting activities to account for potential and actual annual losses from extreme weather. Logging and replanting schedules are also adjusted to account for weather-induced conditions that could delay either activity. In making these adjustments, we are able to draw on more than 100 years of silvicultural research and experience, as well as the most up-to-date statistical methods to quantify these risks by region. | |
| 341 | 2013 | Whitbread | United Kingdom | Timber | Yes or 100% third party certified raw materials already achieved | We have conducted a third party assessment of our risks associated with Timber. Taking into account Regulatory and reputational risks alongside operational procedures. | Forthcoming EU legislation - Illegal Timber Regulation 2013 | Non-material risk | Low level risk from general publicity over deforrestation - we are also currently working with Greenpeace who are raising awareness of bad practice in timber sourcing - particularly relating to activities of Asia Pulp and Paper | Material risk | We have aggressive expansion plans and construction is extremely price and supply sensitive - our buildings are mainly timber framed and use timber products for fixtures, fittings and furniture | ||
| 342 | 2013 | Whitbread | United Kingdom | Palm Oil | Yes or 100% third party certified raw materials already achieved | We have conducted a third party assessment of our risks associated with Palm Oil. Taking into account Regulatory and reputational risks alongside operational procedures. | Non-material risk | Low level risk from general publicity over deforrestation | Material risk | Biggest impact would be to Costa bakery products | |||
| 343 | 2013 | Whitbread | United Kingdom | Cattle Products | Partial | We have conducted a third party assessment of our risks associated with Cattle Products. Taking into account Regulatory and reputational risks alongside operational procedures. | Material risk | Low level risk from general publicity over deforrestation - increasing awareness of this protein as the least sustainable may increase risk plus one of our brands "Beefeater" is based on this product | Material risk | Signature dish in many of our restaurants - extremely price sensitive. Specification very specific and few suppliers could meet our volume demand | |||

| 345 | 2014 | Woolworths Holdings Ltd | South Africa | Timber | Yes | Our risk assessment process evaluates the following: Operational risks: We have assessed the level of consumption across business and have identified that as we use a large volume of timber across the business, in both the supply chain and for operational purposes, this is a risk to the business. Our commitment to sourcing certified sustainable and traceable timber reduces this risk substantially. Security of supply: We have assessed the availability and cost of required quantities of certified sustainable timber at present, as well as in the future. As well as the risk should our sourcing practices support unsustainable timber harvesting. Environmental and social risks: This includes deforestation, biodiversity loss and species extinction, environmental degradation, illegal harvesting, land conflict and displacement, and social conditions. We have identified that we can make considerable impact in reducing these risks due to the volume of timber we source. Reputational risks: With increasing pressure from consumers, NGOs and activists on the issue of deforestation, we have identified that this is a risk to our business. Our commitment to sourcing certified sustainable and traceable timber helps reduce this risk. Regulatory risks: Currently we are not required to use a certified sustainable source of paper, but need to consider sourcing impacts should we be. We have identified that current our commitments to sourcing certified sustainable timber mitigate this risk substantially. | No risk | There is currently no legislation in place that affects our ability to continue sourcing timber. | Material risk | With increasing media coverage, NGO and activist campaigns, business exposes and consumer pressure around the issue of deforestation, there are huge reputational risks for our business should we be found to be contributing to deforestation. We are reliant on the credibility of the sustainability standards and certification bodies that we work with as well as their support from NGOs, activists and consumers. | Material risk | We rely on timber for a wide range of our products (clothing, accessories, homeware, and non-foods products in food market) as well as for packaging, marketing material and our operations internally. Therefore, an inability to source sufficient quantities of timber would undermine our product development, product protection, promotional activity, and ability to operate. | |
| 346 | 2013 | Woolworths Holdings Ltd | South Africa | Timber | Yes or 100% third party certified raw materials already achieved | We as a centralised sustainability team have assessed the risk for our use of this commodity across the entire business, by determining the following risk factors: - Level of consumption across business: We use a large volume of paper across the business, in both the supply chain and for operational purposes. - Supply chain risk: We need to take into account the availability and cost of required quantities of certified sustainable timber at present, as well as in the future. - Impact on brand reputation: As a leading responsible retailer, we do not want to let down our customers by being seen to ignore this important environmental issue. - Regulatory risks: Currently we are not required to use a certified sustainable source of paper, but need to consider sourcing impacts should we be. - Scale of environmental impact: How much environmental degradation is taking place and what is our contribution to this? Is this an area where we can make considerable impact in, in terms of reducing environmental impact or should we be focusing on other bigger issues within our supply chain/operations? What impact does our current sourcing patterns have on the availability and security of future resources? | Material risk | We have chosen third party bodies who have globally accepted standards. This is accepted generally as best practice across industry in South Africa and therefore we would be exposed to material risk if we were not able to source FSC or comply with these standards, or meet our own targets set. | Material risk | As FSC certified timber is generally considered as best practice accross South Africa, there are material risks, should we not be able to meet our targets and procurement standards across the business. | |||
| 347 | 2013 | Woolworths Holdings Ltd | South Africa | Palm Oil | Yes or 100% third party certified raw materials already achieved | We as a centralised sustainability team have assessed the risk for our use of this commodity within Woolworths private label products, by determining the following risk factors: - Level of consumption across business: Woolworths is not a major user of palm oil. - Supply chain risk: We need to take into account the availability and cost of required quantities of certified sustainable palm oil at present, as well as in the future. - Financial risk - Impact on brand reputation: As a leading responsible retailer, we do not want to let down our customers by being seen to ignore this important environmental issue. - Regulatory risks: We need to ensure that we complying with legislation as well as being ahead of the game, proactively looking at ways that we can start incorporating some of these things, prior to becoming legislation. E.g A recent change in South African food legislation has meant that we now declare the type of oil used in the ingredients panel of the product concerned. - Scale of environmental impact: How much environmental degradation is taking place and what is our contribution to this? Is this an area where we can make considerable impact in, in terms of reducing environmental impact or should we be focusing on other bigger issues within our supply chain/operations? What impact does our current sourcing patterns have on the availability and security of future resources? | Material risk | As RSPO certified sustainable palm oil is generally accepted as best practice by industry we are exposed to material risk should we not be able to meet our procurement targets. | Material risk | This issue has received a high level of media coverage as well as NGO campaigns and business exposes. Therefore we are aware that being positioned as a responsible retailer, there is a lot of pressure on us to be proactive on this issue and to ensure that we are upholding our commitment to procure sustainably certified palm oil. There is increasing pressure on us from not only the media and NGOs, but also a growing concern and increase in queries from customers on this issue as they learn more. With it being very easy for our customers to share information virally via social media or to boycott us via social media, we have large reputational risks in this area, if we are seen to not be addressing the issue sincerely. | |||
| 348 | 2013 | Woolworths Holdings Ltd | South Africa | Cattle Products | Partial | We as a centralised sustainability team have assessed the risk for our use of this commodity within the Foods business, by determining the following risk factors: - Level of consumption across business: We use a large volume of cattle based products in the supply chain. - Supply chain risk: We need to ask where we are currently sourcing these products from and how they are being produced. With regards to food products, we know that these are procured from farms within South Africa, Namibia and sometimes Botswana and are therefore at little risk when it comes to clearing forest land for farming. We need to focus our attention on completing a proper risk assessment of clothing, footwear and accessories, where we do not have traceability back to the point of origin. - Financial risk - Impact on brand reputation: As a leading responsible retailer, we do not want to let down our customers by being seen to ignore this important environmental issue. - Regulatory risks: We need to ensure that we comply with legislation and are prepared for changes in legislation that may impact our supply chain. - Scale of environmental impact: How much environmental degradation is taking place and what is our contribution to this? Is this an area where we can make considerable impact in, in terms of reducing environmental impact or should we be focusing on other bigger issues within our supply chain/operations? In the area of food products, we know that this is not an area of concern. There are other issues on the farm that we need to address. | Non-material risk | As all of the cattle products we sell are sourced and produced locally, and as deforestation is not an issue on farms in South Africa, this is a non-material risk for our business. | Non-material risk | There is currently not a lot of awareness of deforestation risks associated with cattle products, mainly due to the fact that a large portion of cattle products are sourced locally in South Africa. There is also little awareness around leather products and consumers, NGO and media are currently more focused on animal welfare issues. We are exposed to non-material risk. | |||
| 349 | 2013 | Woolworths Holdings Ltd | South Africa | Soy | Partial | We as a centralised sustainability team are busying assessing the risk of this commodity across the business, by determining the following risk factors: - Level of consumption across business: We do not use a large level of soy in products themselves, but our risk assessment has determined that our largest use of soy take place in the supply chain, in animal feed (volume yet to be determined). - Supply chain risk: We need to take into account the availability and cost of required quantities of soy. We know that South Africa is not a major importer of soy. We have large volumes of locally produced soy, where deforestation is not a risk. - Impact on brand reputation: As a leading responsible retailer, we do not want to let down our customers by being seen to ignore this important environmental issue. - Regulatory risks: We need to ensure that we comply with legislation and are prepared for changes in legislation that may impact our supply chain. - Scale of environmental impact: How much environmental degradation is taking place and what is our contribution to this? Is this an area where we can make considerable impact in, in terms of reducing environmental impact or should we be focusing on other bigger issues within our supply chain/operations? What impact does our current sourcing patterns have on the availability and security of future resources? | Non-material risk | As there is currently no legislation around this, we are exposed to non-material risk. | Non-material risk | There is currently not a lot of awareness around deforrestation risk associated with soy and therefore we are exposed to non-material risk. With increasing pressue from NGOs, media and customers around GMO ingredients in food, attention could shift towards deforestation. | |||
| 350 | 2013 | Woolworths Holdings Ltd | South Africa | Biofuels | No | We have not undertaken a risk assessment for our use of this commodity across the business, as we do not use biofuels in our business other than those generated using recycled cooking oil. | No risk | No risk | We are currently not using bio-fuels, other than recycled cooking waste, and therefore there is no risk that we are aware of. | No risk | We are currently not using bio-fuels, other than recycled cooking waste, and therefore there is no risk that we are aware of. |

Description
CDP’s forests program targets the largest companies globally, collecting data on their management of deforestation risk through the lens of key agricultural drivers of deforestation (timber, palm oil, soy, cattle products & biofuels). In 2015, 700 companies are requested to respond to the program. The request is issued on behalf of 298 investor signatories with $19 trillion in assets.
Dataset of risk data from respondents to CDP’s forests program in 2013 and 2014. Includes data on company risk assessment processes, as well as the reputational, regulatory and operational risks they identified. This dataset excludes private responders.
Please note that not all companies report on all forest risk commodities. This may be due to the company submitting a partial disclosure or because only a limited number of the commodities are relevant to their business.
