Life Cycle Green House Gas Emissions

Core (supporting and correlating indicators linked)

The mass of GHGs released to the atmosphere during the sourcing or raw,

recycled and reused materials and the production, filling, transport and/or disposal

of packaging materials, packaging components or units of packaging.

Example: For each indicator…

Mass released per functional unit of final packaging material, packaging

components, packaging or time (expressed in CO2 equivalency).

• Kilograms / kilograms of final packaging material

• Kilograms / 1000 units of packaging

• Metric tons / year (based on production rate)

Measure all direct and indirect GHG emissions released during the growth, harvest or extraction and processing of raw materials,

collection and processing of recycled or reused materials, production of final packaging materials, conversion of final packaging materials into packaging components, assembly of packaging components into units of packaging, filling of packaging units, transport of raw, recycled and/or reused materials, final packaging materials, packaging components and/or units of packaging

and the end-of-life processing of packaging. Include direct and indirect GHG emissions from energy sources used to heat, cool and illuminate any facility space in which any of the operations specified above are performed. For additional guidance, refer to ISO standards 14040 and 14044, the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories and PAS 2050.

Do not include direct or indirect GHG emissions released during the transport of packaging that contains product. Do not include

GHG emissions released as a result of heating, cooling and illuminating facility space that is not used for packaging-related functions or activities, e.g., administrative offices, unless the facility is used exclusively to produce final packaging materials,

packaging components or units of packaging.

Consumer Goods Forum Strategic Pillars

The CGF/GPP and GS1

• Retailers and

manufacturers want

to leverage GS1

standards to support

the Sustainability

initiative.

17

• We need to work together to ensure the

standards properly support the Global Packaging Project (GPP) business requirements.

18

How do we move from pilots to practice?

10

The Framework is in Place

So, what else is needed

The Framework is in Place

11

Business requirements

• The Consumer Goods Forum Global

Packaging Project will identify the business requirements and direction.

• GS1 will use the requirements to ensure

the standards meet the user business

requirements.

• The GS1 Global Standards Management

Process (GSMP) provides a mechanism

to ensure GS1 standards properly reflect the ongoing needs of the community.

21

GS1 Progress to date

• Completed scorecard

analysis, GS1 Canada and US

• GS1 Briefing Paper for Member Organizations

• GDSN initial assessment of capabilities

• Change Request entered into

the GSMP (CR 10-169)

12

Conclusions

• GPP is a building block for the wider Sustainability Work in the Consumer Goods Forum

• It’s success depends entirely on the willingness of our industry to work together and use the framework and measurement system as the basis for dialogue
