INTRODUCTION

Purpose amp Structure

This document contains the SASB Sustainability Accounting Standard (SASB Standard) for the Waste Management

industry

SASB Sustainability Accounting Standards are comprised of (1) disclosure guidance and (2) accounting

standards on sustainability topics for use by US and foreign public companies in their annual filings (Form 10-

K or 20-F) with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) To the extent relevant SASB Standards may

also be applicable to other periodic mandatory filings with the SEC such as the Form 10-Q Form S-1 and Form

8-K

SASB Standards identify sustainability topics at an industry level which may constitute material informationmdash

depending on a companyrsquos specific operating contextmdashfor a company within that industry SASB Standards are

intended to provide guidance to company management which is ultimately responsible for determining which

information is material and should therefore be included in its Form 10-K or 20-F and other periodic SEC filings

SASB Standards provide companies with standardized sustainability metrics designed to communicate performance

on industry level sustainability topics When making disclosure on sustainability topics companies can use SASB

Standards to help ensure that disclosure is standardized and therefore decision-useful relevant comparable and

complete

SASB Standards are intended to constitute ldquosuitable criteriardquo as defined by AT 10123 - 321 and referenced in AT

7012 as having the following attributes

bull ObjectivitymdashCriteria should be free from bias

bull MeasurabilitymdashCriteria should permit reasonably consistent measurements qualitative or quantitative

of subject matter

bull CompletenessmdashCriteria should be sufficiently complete so that those relevant factors that would alter

a conclusion about subject matter are not omitted

bull RelevancemdashCriteria should be relevant to the subject matter

Industry Description

The Waste Management industry includes companies that collect store dispose of recycle or treat various forms

of waste from residential commercial and industrial clients Types of waste include municipal solid waste

hazardous waste recyclable materials and compostable or organic materials Certain industry players also provide

environmental engineering and consulting services mostly to large industrial clients Major companies are vertically

integrated providing a range of services from collection to landfilling to recycling while others provide specialized

services such as treating medical and industrial wastes Most US-listed companies in the industry operate

exclusively within the US while some companies have broadened their activities internationally

Guidance for Disclosure of Sustainability Topics in SEC Filings

1 Industry-Level Sustainability Topics

For the Waste Management industry SASB has identified the following sustainability disclosure topics

bull Greenhouse Gas Emissions

bull Air Quality

bull Fleet Fuel Management

bull Management of Leachate amp Hazardous

Waste

bull Workforce Health amp Safety

bull Labor Relations

bull Recycling amp Resource Recovery

2 Company-Level Determination and Disclosure of Material Sustainability Topics

Sustainability disclosures are governed by the same laws and regulations that govern disclosures by securities issuers

generally According to the US Supreme Court a fact is material if in the event such fact is omitted from a

particular disclosure there is ldquoa substantial likelihood that the disclosure of the omitted fact would have been

viewed by the reasonable investor as having significantly altered the lsquototal mixrsquo of the information made

availablerdquo34

SASB has attempted to identify those sustainability topics that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the

financial condition or operating performance of companies within each SICS industry SASB recognizes however

that each company is ultimately responsible for determining what information should be disclosed within the

context of Regulation S-K and other guidance

Regulation S-K which sets forth certain disclosure requirements associated with Form 10-K and other SEC filings

requires companies among other things to describe in the Managementrsquos Discussion and Analysis of Financial

Condition and Results of Operations (MDampA) section of Form 10-K ldquoany known trends or uncertainties that have

had or that the registrant reasonably expects will have a material favorable or unfavorable impact on net sales or

revenues or income from continuing operations If the registrant knows of events that will cause a material change

in the relationship between costs and revenues (such as known future increases in costs of labor or materials or price

increases or inventory adjustments) the change in the relationship shall be disclosedrdquo

Furthermore Instructions to Item 303 state that the MDampA ldquoshall focus specifically on material events and

uncertainties known to management that would cause reported financial information not to be necessarily

indicative of future operating results or of future financial conditionrdquo2

3 TSC Industries v Northway Inc 426 US 438 (1976) 4 CFR 229303(Item 303)(a)(3)(ii)

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 3 copy SASB 2016 TM

The SEC has provided guidance for companies to use in determining whether a trend or uncertainty should be

disclosed The two-part assessment prescribed by the SEC based on probability and magnitude can be applied to

the topics included within this standard

bull First a company is not required to make disclosure about a known trend or uncertainty if its

management determines that such trend or uncertainty is not reasonably likely to occur

bull Second if a companyrsquos management cannot make a reasonable determination of the likelihood of an

event or uncertainty then disclosure is required unless management determines that a material effect

on the registrantrsquos financial condition or results of operation is not reasonably likely to occur

3 Sustainability Accounting Standard Disclosures in Form 10-K

a Managementrsquos Discussion and Analysis

For purposes of comparability and usability companies should consider making disclosure on

sustainability topics in the MDampA in a sub-section titled ldquoSustainability Accounting Standards Disclosuresrdquo5

b Other Relevant Sections of Form 10-K

In addition to the MDampA section it may be relevant for companies to disclose sustainability information in

other sections of Form 10-K including but not limited to

bull Description of businessmdashItem 101 of Regulation S-K requires a company to provide a description of

its business and its subsidiaries Item 101(c)(1)(xii) expressly requires disclosure regarding certain costs

of complying with environmental laws

Appropriate disclosure also shall be made as to the material effects that compliance with Federal State and local

provisions which have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or

otherwise relating to the protection of the environment may have upon the capital expenditures earnings and

competitive position of the registrant and its subsidiaries

bull Legal proceedingsmdashItem 103 of Regulation S-K requires companies to describe briefly any material

pending or contemplated legal proceedings Instructions to Item 103 provide specific disclosure

requirements for administrative or judicial proceedings arising from laws and regulations that target

discharge of materials into the environment or that are primarily for the purpose of protecting the

environment

bull Risk factorsmdashItem 503(c) of Regulation S-K requires filing companies to provide a discussion of the

most significant factors that make an investment in the registrant speculative or risky clearly stating

the risk and specifying how a particular risk affects the particular filing company

5 SEC [Release Nos 33-8056 34-45321 FR-61] Commission Statement about Managementrsquos Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ldquoWe also want to remind registrants that disclosure must be both useful and understandable That is management should provide the most relevant information and provide it using language and formats that investors can be expected to understand Registrants should be aware also that investors will often find information relating to a particular matter more meaningful if it is disclosed in a single location rather than presented in a fragmented manner throughout the filingrdquo

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 4 copy SASB 2016 TM

c Rule 12b-20

Securities Act Rule 408 and Exchange Act Rule 12b-20 require a registrant to disclose in addition to the

information expressly required by law or regulation ldquosuch further material information if any as may be

necessary to make the required statements in light of the circumstances under which they are made not

misleadingrdquo

More detailed guidance on disclosure of material sustainability topics can be found in the SASB Conceptual

Framework available for download via httpwwwsasborgapproachconceptual-framework

Guidance on Accounting for Sustainability Topics

For each sustainability topic included in the Waste Management industry Sustainability Accounting Standard SASB

identifies accounting metrics

SASB recommends that each company consider using these sustainability accounting metrics when preparing

disclosures on the sustainability topics identified herein

As appropriatemdashand consistent with Rule 12b-206mdashwhen disclosing a sustainability topic identified by this

Standard companies should consider including a narrative description of any material factors necessary to ensure

completeness accuracy and comparability of the data reported Where not addressed by the specific accounting

metrics but relevant the registrant should discuss the following related to the topic

bull The registrantrsquos strategic approach to managing performance on material sustainability issues

bull The registrantrsquos relative performance with respect to its peers

bull The degree of control the registrant has

bull Any measures the registrant has undertaken or plans to undertake to improve performance

and

bull Data for the registrantrsquos last three completed fiscal years (when available)

SASB recommends that registrants use SASB Standards specific to their primary industry as identified in the

Sustainable Industry Classification System (SICStrade) If a registrant generates significant revenue from multiple

industries SASB recommends that it also consider sustainability topics that SASB has identified for those industries

and disclose the associated SASB accounting metrics

In disclosing to SASB Standards it is expected that registrants disclose with the same level of rigor accuracy and

responsibility as they apply to all other information contained in their SEC filings

6 SEC Rule 12b-20 ldquoIn addition to the information expressly required to be included in a statement or report there shall be added such further material information if any as may be necessary to make the required statements in the light of the circumstances under which they are made not misleadingrdquo

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 5 copy SASB 2016 TM

Users of the SASB Standards

The SASB Standards are intended to provide guidance for companies that engage in public offerings of securities

registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act) and those that issue securities registered under the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)7 for use in SEC filings including without limitation annual

reports on Form 10-K (Form 20-F for foreign issuers) quarterly reports on Form 10-Q current reports on Form 8-K

and registration statements on Forms S-1 and S-3 Disclosure with respect to the SASB Standards is not required or

endorsed by the SEC or other entities governing financial reporting such as FASB GASB or IASB

Scope of Disclosure

Unless otherwise specified SASB recommends

bull That a registrant disclose on sustainability issues and metrics for itself and for entities that are

consolidated for financial reporting purposes as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in

the United States for consistency with other accompanying information within SEC filings8

bull That for consolidated entities disclosures be made and accounting metrics calculated for the whole

entity regardless of the size of the minority interest and

bull That information from unconsolidated entities not be included in the computation of SASB

accounting metrics A registrant should disclose however information about unconsolidated entities

to the extent that the registrant considers the information necessary for investors to understand the

effect of sustainability topics on the companyrsquos financial condition or operating performance

(typically this disclosure would be limited to risks and opportunities associated with these entities)

Reporting Format

Use of Financial Data

In instances where accounting metrics activity metrics and technical protocols in this standard incorporate

financial data (eg revenues cost of sales expenses recorded and disclosed for fines etc) such financial data shall

be prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (ldquoUS

GAAPrdquo) and be consistent with the corresponding financial data reported within the registrantrsquos SEC filings Should

accounting metrics activity metrics and technical protocols in this standard incorporate disclosure of financial data

that is not prepared in accordance with US GAAP the registrant shall disclose such information in accordance with

the SEC Regulation G

7 Registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is required (1) for securities to be listed on a national securities exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange the NYSE Amex and the NASDAQ Stock Market or (2) if (A) the securities are equity securities and are held by more than 2000 persons (or 500 persons who are not accredited investors) and (B) the company has more than $10 million in assets 8 See US GAAP consolidation rules (Section 810)

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 6 copy SASB 2016 TM

Activity Metrics and Normalization

SASB recognizes that normalizing accounting metrics is important for the analysis of SASB disclosures

SASB recommends that a registrant disclose any basic business data that may assist in the accurate evaluation and

comparability of disclosure to the extent that they are not already disclosed in the Form 10-K (eg revenue

EBITDA etc)

Such datamdashtermed ldquoactivity metricsrdquomdashmay include high-level business data such as total number of employees

quantity of products produced or services provided number of facilities or number of customers It may also

include industry-specific data such as plant capacity utilization (eg for specialty chemical companies) number of

transactions (eg for Internet media and services companies) hospital bed days (eg for health care delivery

companies) or proven and probable reserves (eg for oil and gas exploration and production companies)

Activity metrics disclosed should

bull Convey contextual information that would not otherwise be apparent from SASB accounting metrics

bull Be deemed generally useful for an investor relying on SASB accounting metrics in performing their

own calculations and creating their own ratios

bull Be explained and consistently disclosed from period to period to the extent they continue to be

relevant However a decision to make a voluntary disclosure in one period does not obligate a

continuation of that disclosure if it is no longer relevant or if a better metric becomes available9

Where relevant SASB recommends specific activity metrics thatmdashat a minimummdashshould accompany SASB

Units of Measure

Unless specified disclosures should be reported in International System of Units (SI units)

Uncertainty

SASB recognizes that there may be inherent uncertainty when disclosing certain sustainability data and information

This may be related to variables such as the reliance on data from third-party reporting systems and technologies

or the unpredictable nature of climate events Where uncertainty around a particular disclosure exists SASB

recommends that the registrant should consider discussing its nature and likelihood

Estimates

SASB recognizes that scientifically based estimates such as the reliance on certain conversion factors or the

exclusion of de minimis values may occur for certain quantitative disclosures Where appropriate SASB does not

discourage the use of such estimates When using an estimate for a particular disclosure SASB expects that the

registrant discuss its nature and substantiate its basis

Timing

Unless otherwise specified disclosure shall be for the registrantrsquos fiscal year

Limitations

There is no guarantee that SASB Standards address all sustainability impacts or opportunities associated with a

sector industry or company and therefore a company must determine for itself the topicsmdashsustainability-related

or otherwisemdashthat warrant discussion in its SEC filings

Disclosure under SASB Standards is voluntary It is not intended to replace any legal or regulatory requirements that

may be applicable to user operations Where such laws or regulations address legal or regulatory topics disclosure

under SASB Standards is not meant to supersede those requirements Disclosure according to SASB Standards shall

not be construed as demonstration of compliance with any law regulation or other requirement

SASB Standards are intended to be aligned with the principles of materiality enforced by the SEC However SASB is

not affiliated with or endorsed by the SEC or other entities governing financial reporting such as FASB GASB or

IASB

Forward-looking Statements

Disclosures on sustainability topics can involve discussion of future trends and uncertainties related to the

registrantrsquos operations and financial condition including those influenced by external variables (eg environmental

social regulatory and political) Companies making such disclosures should familiarize themselves with the safe

harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act which preclude civil

liability for material misstatements or omissions in such statements if the registrant takes certain steps including

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 8 copy SASB 2016 TM

among other things identifying the disclosure as ldquoforward-lookingrdquo and accompanying such disclosure with

ldquomeaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially

from those in the forward-looking statementsrdquo

The following sections contain the disclosure guidance associated with each accounting metric such as guidance on

definitions scope accounting compilation and presentation

The term ldquoshallrdquo is used throughout this document to indicate those elements that reflect requirements of the

Standard The terms ldquoshouldrdquo and ldquomayrdquo are used to indicate guidance which although not required provides a

recommended means of disclosure

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Description

Landfill gas (LFG) is a significant anthropogenic contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions because it

contains highly potent methane whose emissions are limited by federal regulations Given its potency federal

regulations limit LFG emissions Many states also mandate monitoring and collection of LFG including California

under its Assembly Bill 32 LFG emissions can be reduced through a variety of control technologies that require

significant capital expenditure LFG-collection-efficiency improvements LFG-control devices and increased

methane oxidization Methane collected through LFG capture systems can be combusted in a flare an engine or a

turbine to dramatically reduce the overall toxicity and potency of raw LFG LFG capture is particularly important for

owners and operators of large landfills that have been the target of regulation LFG emissions pose a regulatory risk

for the industry with potential impacts on operational costs and capital expenditures There is also the potential for

revenue generation through the sale of natural gas and the ability to lower fuel purchases by using processed LFG

to power operations Performance on this issue can affect a companyrsquos ability to secure new permits and renew

existing ones which can have an impact on revenue

Accounting Metrics

IF0201-01 (1) Gross global Scope 1 emissions (2) percentage covered under emissions-limiting regulation and (3) percentage covered under emissions-reporting regulation

01 The registrant shall disclose gross global Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the atmosphere of the

seven GHGs covered under the Kyoto Protocol (carbon dioxide methane nitrous oxide hydrofluorocarbons

perfluorocarbons sulfur hexafluoride and nitrogen trifluoride)

bull Emissions of all gases shall be disclosed in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2-e)

calculated in accordance with published 100-year time horizon global warming potential (GWP)

factors To date the preferred source for GWP factors is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate

Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (2013)

bull Gross emissions are GHGs emitted to the atmosphere before accounting for any GHG reduction

activities offsets or other adjustments for activities in the reporting period that have reduced or

compensated for emissions

bull Disclosure corresponds to section CC82 of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Questionnaire

(2015) and REQ-04 of the Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB) Framework for reporting

environmental information amp natural capital (2015)

The registrant shall consider the CDP Climate Change Questionnaire a normative reference thus

any updates made year-on-year shall be considered updates to this guidance

02 Scope 1 emissions are defined by the World Resources Institute and the World Business Council on

Sustainable Development (WRIWBCSD) in The Greenhouse Gas Protocol A Corporate Accounting and

Reporting Standard Revised Edition March 2004 (hereafter the ldquoGHG Protocolrdquo)

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 1 2 copy SASB 2016 TM

bull These emissions include direct emissions of GHGs from stationary or mobile sources that include but

are not limited to waste-to-energy landfill gas and transportation (ie marine road or rail)

bull Acceptable calculation methodologies include those that refer to the GHG Protocol as the basic

reference but may provide additional industry or regionally specific guidance where examples include

but are not limited to

India GHG Inventory Programme

ISO 14064-1

bull The registrant may choose to disclose the methodology or methodologies used to collect and

calculate Scope 1 emissions

03 GHG emission data shall be consolidated according to the approach with which the registrant consolidates

its financial reporting data which is generally aligned with

bull The Financial Control approach defined by the GHG Protocol and referenced by the CDP Guidance for

companies reporting on climate change on behalf of investors amp supply chain members 2015

(hereafter the ldquoCDP Guidancerdquo)14

bull The approach detailed in REQ-07 ldquoOrganisational boundaryrdquo of the CDSB Framework (2015)15

04 The registrant shall disclose the percentage of its emissions that are covered under a regulatory program

that is intended to limit or reduce GHG emissions such as the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme

(EU ETS) Quebec Cap-and-Trade (Draft Bill 42 of 2009) California Cap-and-Trade (California Global

Warming Solutions Act) New Source Performance Standards and Emissions Guidelines for Municipal Solid

Waste Landfills or other regulatory programs

bull Regulatory programs include cap-and-trade schemes carbon taxfee systems and other emissions

control (eg command-and-control approach) and permit-based mechanisms

bull Disclosure shall exclude emissions covered under voluntary trading systems and disclosure-based

regulations (eg the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Greenhouse Gas Reporting

Program)

14 ldquoAn organization has financial control over an operation if it has the ability to direct the financial and operating policies of the operation with a view to gaining economic benefits from its activities Generally an organization has financial control over an operation for GHG accounting purposes if the operation is treated as a group company or subsidiary for the purposes of financial consolidationrdquo Guidance for companies reporting on climate change on behalf of investors amp supply chain members 2013 p 95 15 This is based on the requirements of International Accounting StandardsInternational Financial Reporting Standards (IASIFRS) on consolidation and equity accounting and is consistent with how information relating to entities within a group or interest in joint venturesassociates would be included on consolidated financial statements as further detailed in CDSB Proposals for Boundary Setting in Mainstream Reports

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 1 3 copy SASB 2016 TM

05 The registrant shall disclose the percentage of its emissions that are covered under emissions reporting-

based regulations (eg The US EPA Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program)

bull Emissions reporting regulations are defined as regulations that demand the disclosure of data to

authorities andor to the public but for which there is no limit cost target or controls on the

amount of emissions generated

06 The registrant should discuss any change in its emissions from the previous fiscal year such as if the change

was due to emissions reductions divestment acquisition mergers changes in output andor changes in

calculation methodology

07 In the case that current reporting of GHG emissions to the CDP or other entities (eg a national regulatory

disclosure program) differs in terms of the methodology calculation (eg different GWP factors) scope

andor consolidation approach used the registrant may disclose those emissions However primary

disclosure shall be according to the guidelines described above

08 The registrant should discuss the calculation methodology for its emissions disclosure such as if data are from continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS) engineering calculations mass balance calculations etc

09 The registrant should consult the most recent version of each document referenced in this standard at the

time disclosure occurs

IF0201-02 Total landfill gas generated percentage flared percentage used for energy

10 The registrant shall disclose the total amount in millions of British Thermal Units (MMBtu) of landfill gas

generated from its owned or operated facilities where

bull Landfill gas is defined consistent with 40 CFR 986 as gas produced as a result of anaerobic

decomposition of waste materials in the landfill

11 The registrant shall use the calculation methodology in 40 CFR 98340-348 Subpart HH to calculate the

amount of landfill gas generated the percentage flared and the percentage used for energy

12 The registrant shall calculate the percentage of landfill gas that was flared as the total amount in MMBtu

of landfill gas that was flared divided by the total amount of landfill gas generated where

bull Flared landfill gas includes gas that is flared through air injection and is defined consistent with 40

CFR 986 as gas that is combusted through the use of an open flame with combustion air provided

by uncontrolled ambient air around the flame andor air that is blown into the flare to induce

complete combustion

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 1 4 copy SASB 2016 TM

13 The registrant shall calculate the percentage of landfill gas used for energy as the amount in MMBtu of

landfill gas that was captured and used for energy divided by the total amount of landfill gas generated

where

bull Landfill gas used for energy includes gas that is combusted for use in on-site energy or heat

production conveyed through pipelines for off-site combustion and any other on-site or off-site use

as a fuel

14 In calculating energy generated from landfill gas the registrant shall use higher heating values (HHV) also

known as gross calorific values (GCV) which are directly measured or taken from the US EPArsquos Landfill Gas

Energy A Guide to Developing and Implementing Greenhouse Gas Reduction Programs

IF0201-03 Description of long-term and short-term strategy or plan to manage Scope 1 emissions emission-reduction targets and an analysis of performance against those targets

15 The registrant shall discuss the following where relevant

Air Quality

Description

Air pollution is the presence of air contaminants in such quantities and duration that they can be injurious to

humans animals plants or property It also includes contaminants that interfere with enjoyment of life or

property Therefore odors and toxic gases such as those emitted from landfills landfill fires waste incinerators

and waste treatment plants are considered air pollution The financial impacts from excessive air emissions vary

depending on the specific location of operations and the prevailing air emissions regulations but they can include

capital expenditures increased operating costs fines and lawsuits from affected communities Human health

impacts and financial consequences of poor air-quality management are likely to be exacerbated by the proximity

of waste management facilities to communities Active management of air pollutants and odorsmdashthrough

technological and process improvementsmdashcan therefore mitigate regulatory exposure and the associated future

costs of compliance from increasingly stringent air-quality regulations help companies secure and maintain

permits and protect their license to operate

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

also be applicable to other periodic mandatory filings with the SEC such as the Form 10-Q Form S-1 and Form

8-K

SASB Standards identify sustainability topics at an industry level which may constitute material informationmdash

depending on a companyrsquos specific operating contextmdashfor a company within that industry SASB Standards are

intended to provide guidance to company management which is ultimately responsible for determining which

information is material and should therefore be included in its Form 10-K or 20-F and other periodic SEC filings

SASB Standards provide companies with standardized sustainability metrics designed to communicate performance

on industry level sustainability topics When making disclosure on sustainability topics companies can use SASB

Standards to help ensure that disclosure is standardized and therefore decision-useful relevant comparable and

complete

Guidance for Disclosure of Sustainability Topics in SEC Filings

1 Industry-Level Sustainability Topics

For the Waste Management industry SASB has identified the following sustainability disclosure topics

bull Greenhouse Gas Emissions

bull Air Quality

bull Fleet Fuel Management

bull Management of Leachate amp Hazardous

Waste

bull Workforce Health amp Safety

bull Labor Relations

bull Recycling amp Resource Recovery

2 Company-Level Determination and Disclosure of Material Sustainability Topics

Sustainability disclosures are governed by the same laws and regulations that govern disclosures by securities issuers

generally According to the US Supreme Court a fact is material if in the event such fact is omitted from a

particular disclosure there is ldquoa substantial likelihood that the disclosure of the omitted fact would have been

viewed by the reasonable investor as having significantly altered the lsquototal mixrsquo of the information made

availablerdquo34

SASB has attempted to identify those sustainability topics that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the

financial condition or operating performance of companies within each SICS industry SASB recognizes however

that each company is ultimately responsible for determining what information should be disclosed within the

context of Regulation S-K and other guidance

Regulation S-K which sets forth certain disclosure requirements associated with Form 10-K and other SEC filings

requires companies among other things to describe in the Managementrsquos Discussion and Analysis of Financial

Condition and Results of Operations (MDampA) section of Form 10-K ldquoany known trends or uncertainties that have

had or that the registrant reasonably expects will have a material favorable or unfavorable impact on net sales or

revenues or income from continuing operations If the registrant knows of events that will cause a material change

in the relationship between costs and revenues (such as known future increases in costs of labor or materials or price

increases or inventory adjustments) the change in the relationship shall be disclosedrdquo

Furthermore Instructions to Item 303 state that the MDampA ldquoshall focus specifically on material events and

uncertainties known to management that would cause reported financial information not to be necessarily

indicative of future operating results or of future financial conditionrdquo2

3 TSC Industries v Northway Inc 426 US 438 (1976) 4 CFR 229303(Item 303)(a)(3)(ii)

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 3 copy SASB 2016 TM

The SEC has provided guidance for companies to use in determining whether a trend or uncertainty should be

disclosed The two-part assessment prescribed by the SEC based on probability and magnitude can be applied to

the topics included within this standard

bull First a company is not required to make disclosure about a known trend or uncertainty if its

management determines that such trend or uncertainty is not reasonably likely to occur

bull Second if a companyrsquos management cannot make a reasonable determination of the likelihood of an

event or uncertainty then disclosure is required unless management determines that a material effect

on the registrantrsquos financial condition or results of operation is not reasonably likely to occur

3 Sustainability Accounting Standard Disclosures in Form 10-K

a Managementrsquos Discussion and Analysis

For purposes of comparability and usability companies should consider making disclosure on

sustainability topics in the MDampA in a sub-section titled ldquoSustainability Accounting Standards Disclosuresrdquo5

b Other Relevant Sections of Form 10-K

In addition to the MDampA section it may be relevant for companies to disclose sustainability information in

other sections of Form 10-K including but not limited to

bull Description of businessmdashItem 101 of Regulation S-K requires a company to provide a description of

its business and its subsidiaries Item 101(c)(1)(xii) expressly requires disclosure regarding certain costs

of complying with environmental laws

Appropriate disclosure also shall be made as to the material effects that compliance with Federal State and local

provisions which have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or

otherwise relating to the protection of the environment may have upon the capital expenditures earnings and

competitive position of the registrant and its subsidiaries

bull Legal proceedingsmdashItem 103 of Regulation S-K requires companies to describe briefly any material

pending or contemplated legal proceedings Instructions to Item 103 provide specific disclosure

requirements for administrative or judicial proceedings arising from laws and regulations that target

discharge of materials into the environment or that are primarily for the purpose of protecting the

environment

bull Risk factorsmdashItem 503(c) of Regulation S-K requires filing companies to provide a discussion of the

most significant factors that make an investment in the registrant speculative or risky clearly stating

the risk and specifying how a particular risk affects the particular filing company

5 SEC [Release Nos 33-8056 34-45321 FR-61] Commission Statement about Managementrsquos Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ldquoWe also want to remind registrants that disclosure must be both useful and understandable That is management should provide the most relevant information and provide it using language and formats that investors can be expected to understand Registrants should be aware also that investors will often find information relating to a particular matter more meaningful if it is disclosed in a single location rather than presented in a fragmented manner throughout the filingrdquo

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 4 copy SASB 2016 TM

c Rule 12b-20

Securities Act Rule 408 and Exchange Act Rule 12b-20 require a registrant to disclose in addition to the

information expressly required by law or regulation ldquosuch further material information if any as may be

necessary to make the required statements in light of the circumstances under which they are made not

misleadingrdquo

Framework available for download via httpwwwsasborgapproachconceptual-framework

Guidance on Accounting for Sustainability Topics

For each sustainability topic included in the Waste Management industry Sustainability Accounting Standard SASB

identifies accounting metrics

SASB recommends that each company consider using these sustainability accounting metrics when preparing

disclosures on the sustainability topics identified herein

As appropriatemdashand consistent with Rule 12b-206mdashwhen disclosing a sustainability topic identified by this

Standard companies should consider including a narrative description of any material factors necessary to ensure

completeness accuracy and comparability of the data reported Where not addressed by the specific accounting

metrics but relevant the registrant should discuss the following related to the topic

bull The registrantrsquos strategic approach to managing performance on material sustainability issues

bull The registrantrsquos relative performance with respect to its peers

bull The degree of control the registrant has

bull Any measures the registrant has undertaken or plans to undertake to improve performance

and

bull Data for the registrantrsquos last three completed fiscal years (when available)

SASB recommends that registrants use SASB Standards specific to their primary industry as identified in the

Sustainable Industry Classification System (SICStrade) If a registrant generates significant revenue from multiple

industries SASB recommends that it also consider sustainability topics that SASB has identified for those industries

and disclose the associated SASB accounting metrics

In disclosing to SASB Standards it is expected that registrants disclose with the same level of rigor accuracy and

responsibility as they apply to all other information contained in their SEC filings

6 SEC Rule 12b-20 ldquoIn addition to the information expressly required to be included in a statement or report there shall be added such further material information if any as may be necessary to make the required statements in the light of the circumstances under which they are made not misleadingrdquo

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 5 copy SASB 2016 TM

Users of the SASB Standards

The SASB Standards are intended to provide guidance for companies that engage in public offerings of securities

registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act) and those that issue securities registered under the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)7 for use in SEC filings including without limitation annual

reports on Form 10-K (Form 20-F for foreign issuers) quarterly reports on Form 10-Q current reports on Form 8-K

and registration statements on Forms S-1 and S-3 Disclosure with respect to the SASB Standards is not required or

endorsed by the SEC or other entities governing financial reporting such as FASB GASB or IASB

Scope of Disclosure

Unless otherwise specified SASB recommends

bull That a registrant disclose on sustainability issues and metrics for itself and for entities that are

consolidated for financial reporting purposes as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in

the United States for consistency with other accompanying information within SEC filings8

bull That for consolidated entities disclosures be made and accounting metrics calculated for the whole

entity regardless of the size of the minority interest and

bull That information from unconsolidated entities not be included in the computation of SASB

accounting metrics A registrant should disclose however information about unconsolidated entities

to the extent that the registrant considers the information necessary for investors to understand the

effect of sustainability topics on the companyrsquos financial condition or operating performance

(typically this disclosure would be limited to risks and opportunities associated with these entities)

Reporting Format

Use of Financial Data

In instances where accounting metrics activity metrics and technical protocols in this standard incorporate

financial data (eg revenues cost of sales expenses recorded and disclosed for fines etc) such financial data shall

be prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (ldquoUS

GAAPrdquo) and be consistent with the corresponding financial data reported within the registrantrsquos SEC filings Should

accounting metrics activity metrics and technical protocols in this standard incorporate disclosure of financial data

that is not prepared in accordance with US GAAP the registrant shall disclose such information in accordance with

the SEC Regulation G

7 Registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is required (1) for securities to be listed on a national securities exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange the NYSE Amex and the NASDAQ Stock Market or (2) if (A) the securities are equity securities and are held by more than 2000 persons (or 500 persons who are not accredited investors) and (B) the company has more than $10 million in assets 8 See US GAAP consolidation rules (Section 810)

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 6 copy SASB 2016 TM

Activity Metrics and Normalization

SASB recognizes that normalizing accounting metrics is important for the analysis of SASB disclosures

SASB recommends that a registrant disclose any basic business data that may assist in the accurate evaluation and

comparability of disclosure to the extent that they are not already disclosed in the Form 10-K (eg revenue

EBITDA etc)

Such datamdashtermed ldquoactivity metricsrdquomdashmay include high-level business data such as total number of employees

quantity of products produced or services provided number of facilities or number of customers It may also

include industry-specific data such as plant capacity utilization (eg for specialty chemical companies) number of

transactions (eg for Internet media and services companies) hospital bed days (eg for health care delivery

companies) or proven and probable reserves (eg for oil and gas exploration and production companies)

Activity metrics disclosed should

bull Convey contextual information that would not otherwise be apparent from SASB accounting metrics

bull Be deemed generally useful for an investor relying on SASB accounting metrics in performing their

own calculations and creating their own ratios

bull Be explained and consistently disclosed from period to period to the extent they continue to be

relevant However a decision to make a voluntary disclosure in one period does not obligate a

continuation of that disclosure if it is no longer relevant or if a better metric becomes available9

Units of Measure

Unless specified disclosures should be reported in International System of Units (SI units)

Uncertainty

SASB recognizes that there may be inherent uncertainty when disclosing certain sustainability data and information

This may be related to variables such as the reliance on data from third-party reporting systems and technologies

or the unpredictable nature of climate events Where uncertainty around a particular disclosure exists SASB

recommends that the registrant should consider discussing its nature and likelihood

Estimates

SASB recognizes that scientifically based estimates such as the reliance on certain conversion factors or the

exclusion of de minimis values may occur for certain quantitative disclosures Where appropriate SASB does not

discourage the use of such estimates When using an estimate for a particular disclosure SASB expects that the

registrant discuss its nature and substantiate its basis

Timing

Unless otherwise specified disclosure shall be for the registrantrsquos fiscal year

Limitations

There is no guarantee that SASB Standards address all sustainability impacts or opportunities associated with a

sector industry or company and therefore a company must determine for itself the topicsmdashsustainability-related

or otherwisemdashthat warrant discussion in its SEC filings

Disclosure under SASB Standards is voluntary It is not intended to replace any legal or regulatory requirements that

may be applicable to user operations Where such laws or regulations address legal or regulatory topics disclosure

under SASB Standards is not meant to supersede those requirements Disclosure according to SASB Standards shall

not be construed as demonstration of compliance with any law regulation or other requirement

SASB Standards are intended to be aligned with the principles of materiality enforced by the SEC However SASB is

not affiliated with or endorsed by the SEC or other entities governing financial reporting such as FASB GASB or

IASB

Forward-looking Statements

Disclosures on sustainability topics can involve discussion of future trends and uncertainties related to the

registrantrsquos operations and financial condition including those influenced by external variables (eg environmental

social regulatory and political) Companies making such disclosures should familiarize themselves with the safe

harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act which preclude civil

liability for material misstatements or omissions in such statements if the registrant takes certain steps including

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 8 copy SASB 2016 TM

among other things identifying the disclosure as ldquoforward-lookingrdquo and accompanying such disclosure with

ldquomeaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially

from those in the forward-looking statementsrdquo

The following sections contain the disclosure guidance associated with each accounting metric such as guidance on

definitions scope accounting compilation and presentation

The term ldquoshallrdquo is used throughout this document to indicate those elements that reflect requirements of the

Standard The terms ldquoshouldrdquo and ldquomayrdquo are used to indicate guidance which although not required provides a

recommended means of disclosure

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Description

Landfill gas (LFG) is a significant anthropogenic contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions because it

contains highly potent methane whose emissions are limited by federal regulations Given its potency federal

regulations limit LFG emissions Many states also mandate monitoring and collection of LFG including California

under its Assembly Bill 32 LFG emissions can be reduced through a variety of control technologies that require

significant capital expenditure LFG-collection-efficiency improvements LFG-control devices and increased

methane oxidization Methane collected through LFG capture systems can be combusted in a flare an engine or a

turbine to dramatically reduce the overall toxicity and potency of raw LFG LFG capture is particularly important for

owners and operators of large landfills that have been the target of regulation LFG emissions pose a regulatory risk

for the industry with potential impacts on operational costs and capital expenditures There is also the potential for

revenue generation through the sale of natural gas and the ability to lower fuel purchases by using processed LFG

to power operations Performance on this issue can affect a companyrsquos ability to secure new permits and renew

existing ones which can have an impact on revenue

Accounting Metrics

IF0201-01 (1) Gross global Scope 1 emissions (2) percentage covered under emissions-limiting regulation and (3) percentage covered under emissions-reporting regulation

calculated in accordance with published 100-year time horizon global warming potential (GWP)

factors To date the preferred source for GWP factors is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate

Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (2013)

bull Gross emissions are GHGs emitted to the atmosphere before accounting for any GHG reduction

activities offsets or other adjustments for activities in the reporting period that have reduced or

compensated for emissions

bull Disclosure corresponds to section CC82 of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Questionnaire

(2015) and REQ-04 of the Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB) Framework for reporting

environmental information amp natural capital (2015)

amount of landfill gas generated the percentage flared and the percentage used for energy

12 The registrant shall calculate the percentage of landfill gas that was flared as the total amount in MMBtu

of landfill gas that was flared divided by the total amount of landfill gas generated where

bull Flared landfill gas includes gas that is flared through air injection and is defined consistent with 40

CFR 986 as gas that is combusted through the use of an open flame with combustion air provided

by uncontrolled ambient air around the flame andor air that is blown into the flare to induce

complete combustion

Air Quality

Description

Air pollution is the presence of air contaminants in such quantities and duration that they can be injurious to

humans animals plants or property It also includes contaminants that interfere with enjoyment of life or

property Therefore odors and toxic gases such as those emitted from landfills landfill fires waste incinerators

and waste treatment plants are considered air pollution The financial impacts from excessive air emissions vary

depending on the specific location of operations and the prevailing air emissions regulations but they can include

capital expenditures increased operating costs fines and lawsuits from affected communities Human health

impacts and financial consequences of poor air-quality management are likely to be exacerbated by the proximity

of waste management facilities to communities Active management of air pollutants and odorsmdashthrough

technological and process improvementsmdashcan therefore mitigate regulatory exposure and the associated future

costs of compliance from increasingly stringent air-quality regulations help companies secure and maintain

permits and protect their license to operate

Accounting Metrics

IF0201-04 Air emissions of the following pollutants NOx (excluding N2O) SOx non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs)

atmosphere as a result of its activities including

bull Direct air emissions from point and non-point sources that include but are not limited to

decomposition of organic material combustion of waste and transportation (ie marine road or

rail)

20 The registrant shall disclose emissions released to the atmosphere by emissions type Substances include

bull Oxides of nitrogen (including NO and NO2 and excluding N2O) reported as NOx

bull Oxides of sulfur (SO2 and SO3) reported as SOx

carbon monoxide carbon dioxide carbonic acid metallic carbides or carbonates ammonium

carbonate and methane that participates in atmospheric photochemical reactions except those

designated by the US EPA as having negligible photochemical reactivity

Where regional and national definitions supersede EPA regulations such as EC Directive

199913EC and Schedule 1 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act 1999 the registrant

may refer to the relevant regulations on NMVOCs

bull Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) are defined by the EPA as those pollutants that are known or

suspected to cause cancer or other serious health effects such as reproductive effects birth defects

or adverse environmental effects and are listed here

Fleet Fuel Management

Description

Many companies in the Waste Management industry own and operate large vehicle fleets for waste collection and

transfer The fuel consumption of vehicle fleets is a significant industry expense both in terms of operating costs

and associated capital expenditures Fossil fuel consumption can contribute to environmental impacts including

climate change and pollution These environmental impacts have the potential to affect waste management

companies through regulatory exposure and the competitiveness of new contract proposals Hedging fuel

purchases is a common tool used to manage fleet-fuel risks however more and more waste management

companies are upgrading to more fuel-efficient fleets or switching to natural gas vehicles A cleaner-burning fleet

may also be seen as more favorable by communities living near waste management facilities with heavy traffic

accidents can have a great impact on workers The Waste Management industry has higher fatality rates than most

industries Fatalities and other injuries are due primarily to transportation incidents contact with objects and

equipment and exposure to harmful substances Additionally temporary workers may be at higher risk because of

a lack of training or industry experience Poor health and safety records can result in fines and penalties and an

increase in regulatory compliance costs from more stringent oversight Waste management companies must ensure

that facilities and vehicles are operated with the highest safety standards and that the number of injuries and

accidents is minimized through a strong safety culture Companies that develop proactive safety management

plans and training requirements for their employees and contractors including conducting regular audits are likely

to improve safety records and minimize the chance of safety-related financial repercussions

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

INTRODUCTION

Purpose amp Structure

This document contains the SASB Sustainability Accounting Standard (SASB Standard) for the Waste Management

industry

SASB Sustainability Accounting Standards are comprised of (1) disclosure guidance and (2) accounting

standards on sustainability topics for use by US and foreign public companies in their annual filings (Form 10-

K or 20-F) with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) To the extent relevant SASB Standards may

also be applicable to other periodic mandatory filings with the SEC such as the Form 10-Q Form S-1 and Form

8-K

SASB Standards identify sustainability topics at an industry level which may constitute material informationmdash

depending on a companyrsquos specific operating contextmdashfor a company within that industry SASB Standards are

intended to provide guidance to company management which is ultimately responsible for determining which

information is material and should therefore be included in its Form 10-K or 20-F and other periodic SEC filings

SASB Standards provide companies with standardized sustainability metrics designed to communicate performance

on industry level sustainability topics When making disclosure on sustainability topics companies can use SASB

Standards to help ensure that disclosure is standardized and therefore decision-useful relevant comparable and

complete

SASB Standards are intended to constitute ldquosuitable criteriardquo as defined by AT 10123 - 321 and referenced in AT

7012 as having the following attributes

bull ObjectivitymdashCriteria should be free from bias

bull MeasurabilitymdashCriteria should permit reasonably consistent measurements qualitative or quantitative

of subject matter

bull CompletenessmdashCriteria should be sufficiently complete so that those relevant factors that would alter

a conclusion about subject matter are not omitted

bull RelevancemdashCriteria should be relevant to the subject matter

Industry Description

The Waste Management industry includes companies that collect store dispose of recycle or treat various forms

of waste from residential commercial and industrial clients Types of waste include municipal solid waste

hazardous waste recyclable materials and compostable or organic materials Certain industry players also provide

environmental engineering and consulting services mostly to large industrial clients Major companies are vertically

integrated providing a range of services from collection to landfilling to recycling while others provide specialized

services such as treating medical and industrial wastes Most US-listed companies in the industry operate

exclusively within the US while some companies have broadened their activities internationally

Guidance for Disclosure of Sustainability Topics in SEC Filings

1 Industry-Level Sustainability Topics

For the Waste Management industry SASB has identified the following sustainability disclosure topics

bull Greenhouse Gas Emissions

bull Air Quality

bull Fleet Fuel Management

bull Management of Leachate amp Hazardous

Waste

bull Workforce Health amp Safety

bull Labor Relations

bull Recycling amp Resource Recovery

2 Company-Level Determination and Disclosure of Material Sustainability Topics

Sustainability disclosures are governed by the same laws and regulations that govern disclosures by securities issuers

generally According to the US Supreme Court a fact is material if in the event such fact is omitted from a

particular disclosure there is ldquoa substantial likelihood that the disclosure of the omitted fact would have been

viewed by the reasonable investor as having significantly altered the lsquototal mixrsquo of the information made

availablerdquo34

SASB has attempted to identify those sustainability topics that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the

financial condition or operating performance of companies within each SICS industry SASB recognizes however

that each company is ultimately responsible for determining what information should be disclosed within the

context of Regulation S-K and other guidance

Regulation S-K which sets forth certain disclosure requirements associated with Form 10-K and other SEC filings

requires companies among other things to describe in the Managementrsquos Discussion and Analysis of Financial

Condition and Results of Operations (MDampA) section of Form 10-K ldquoany known trends or uncertainties that have

had or that the registrant reasonably expects will have a material favorable or unfavorable impact on net sales or

revenues or income from continuing operations If the registrant knows of events that will cause a material change

in the relationship between costs and revenues (such as known future increases in costs of labor or materials or price

increases or inventory adjustments) the change in the relationship shall be disclosedrdquo

Furthermore Instructions to Item 303 state that the MDampA ldquoshall focus specifically on material events and

uncertainties known to management that would cause reported financial information not to be necessarily

indicative of future operating results or of future financial conditionrdquo2

3 TSC Industries v Northway Inc 426 US 438 (1976) 4 CFR 229303(Item 303)(a)(3)(ii)

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 3 copy SASB 2016 TM

The SEC has provided guidance for companies to use in determining whether a trend or uncertainty should be

disclosed The two-part assessment prescribed by the SEC based on probability and magnitude can be applied to

the topics included within this standard

bull First a company is not required to make disclosure about a known trend or uncertainty if its

management determines that such trend or uncertainty is not reasonably likely to occur

bull Second if a companyrsquos management cannot make a reasonable determination of the likelihood of an

event or uncertainty then disclosure is required unless management determines that a material effect

on the registrantrsquos financial condition or results of operation is not reasonably likely to occur

3 Sustainability Accounting Standard Disclosures in Form 10-K

a Managementrsquos Discussion and Analysis

For purposes of comparability and usability companies should consider making disclosure on

sustainability topics in the MDampA in a sub-section titled ldquoSustainability Accounting Standards Disclosuresrdquo5

b Other Relevant Sections of Form 10-K

In addition to the MDampA section it may be relevant for companies to disclose sustainability information in

other sections of Form 10-K including but not limited to

bull Description of businessmdashItem 101 of Regulation S-K requires a company to provide a description of

its business and its subsidiaries Item 101(c)(1)(xii) expressly requires disclosure regarding certain costs

of complying with environmental laws

Appropriate disclosure also shall be made as to the material effects that compliance with Federal State and local

provisions which have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or

otherwise relating to the protection of the environment may have upon the capital expenditures earnings and

competitive position of the registrant and its subsidiaries

bull Legal proceedingsmdashItem 103 of Regulation S-K requires companies to describe briefly any material

pending or contemplated legal proceedings Instructions to Item 103 provide specific disclosure

requirements for administrative or judicial proceedings arising from laws and regulations that target

discharge of materials into the environment or that are primarily for the purpose of protecting the

environment

bull Risk factorsmdashItem 503(c) of Regulation S-K requires filing companies to provide a discussion of the

most significant factors that make an investment in the registrant speculative or risky clearly stating

the risk and specifying how a particular risk affects the particular filing company

5 SEC [Release Nos 33-8056 34-45321 FR-61] Commission Statement about Managementrsquos Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ldquoWe also want to remind registrants that disclosure must be both useful and understandable That is management should provide the most relevant information and provide it using language and formats that investors can be expected to understand Registrants should be aware also that investors will often find information relating to a particular matter more meaningful if it is disclosed in a single location rather than presented in a fragmented manner throughout the filingrdquo

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 4 copy SASB 2016 TM

c Rule 12b-20

Securities Act Rule 408 and Exchange Act Rule 12b-20 require a registrant to disclose in addition to the

information expressly required by law or regulation ldquosuch further material information if any as may be

necessary to make the required statements in light of the circumstances under which they are made not

misleadingrdquo

More detailed guidance on disclosure of material sustainability topics can be found in the SASB Conceptual

Framework available for download via httpwwwsasborgapproachconceptual-framework

Guidance on Accounting for Sustainability Topics

For each sustainability topic included in the Waste Management industry Sustainability Accounting Standard SASB

identifies accounting metrics

SASB recommends that each company consider using these sustainability accounting metrics when preparing

disclosures on the sustainability topics identified herein

As appropriatemdashand consistent with Rule 12b-206mdashwhen disclosing a sustainability topic identified by this

Standard companies should consider including a narrative description of any material factors necessary to ensure

completeness accuracy and comparability of the data reported Where not addressed by the specific accounting

metrics but relevant the registrant should discuss the following related to the topic

bull The registrantrsquos strategic approach to managing performance on material sustainability issues

bull The registrantrsquos relative performance with respect to its peers

bull The degree of control the registrant has

bull Any measures the registrant has undertaken or plans to undertake to improve performance

and

bull Data for the registrantrsquos last three completed fiscal years (when available)

SASB recommends that registrants use SASB Standards specific to their primary industry as identified in the

Sustainable Industry Classification System (SICStrade) If a registrant generates significant revenue from multiple

industries SASB recommends that it also consider sustainability topics that SASB has identified for those industries

and disclose the associated SASB accounting metrics

In disclosing to SASB Standards it is expected that registrants disclose with the same level of rigor accuracy and

responsibility as they apply to all other information contained in their SEC filings

6 SEC Rule 12b-20 ldquoIn addition to the information expressly required to be included in a statement or report there shall be added such further material information if any as may be necessary to make the required statements in the light of the circumstances under which they are made not misleadingrdquo

Activity Metrics and Normalization

SASB recognizes that normalizing accounting metrics is important for the analysis of SASB disclosures

SASB recommends that a registrant disclose any basic business data that may assist in the accurate evaluation and

comparability of disclosure to the extent that they are not already disclosed in the Form 10-K (eg revenue

EBITDA etc)

Such datamdashtermed ldquoactivity metricsrdquomdashmay include high-level business data such as total number of employees

quantity of products produced or services provided number of facilities or number of customers It may also

include industry-specific data such as plant capacity utilization (eg for specialty chemical companies) number of

transactions (eg for Internet media and services companies) hospital bed days (eg for health care delivery

companies) or proven and probable reserves (eg for oil and gas exploration and production companies)

Activity metrics disclosed should

bull Convey contextual information that would not otherwise be apparent from SASB accounting metrics

bull Be deemed generally useful for an investor relying on SASB accounting metrics in performing their

own calculations and creating their own ratios

bull Be explained and consistently disclosed from period to period to the extent they continue to be

relevant However a decision to make a voluntary disclosure in one period does not obligate a

continuation of that disclosure if it is no longer relevant or if a better metric becomes available9

Units of Measure

Unless specified disclosures should be reported in International System of Units (SI units)

Uncertainty

SASB recognizes that there may be inherent uncertainty when disclosing certain sustainability data and information

This may be related to variables such as the reliance on data from third-party reporting systems and technologies

or the unpredictable nature of climate events Where uncertainty around a particular disclosure exists SASB

recommends that the registrant should consider discussing its nature and likelihood

Estimates

SASB recognizes that scientifically based estimates such as the reliance on certain conversion factors or the

exclusion of de minimis values may occur for certain quantitative disclosures Where appropriate SASB does not

discourage the use of such estimates When using an estimate for a particular disclosure SASB expects that the

registrant discuss its nature and substantiate its basis

Timing

Unless otherwise specified disclosure shall be for the registrantrsquos fiscal year

Limitations

There is no guarantee that SASB Standards address all sustainability impacts or opportunities associated with a

sector industry or company and therefore a company must determine for itself the topicsmdashsustainability-related

or otherwisemdashthat warrant discussion in its SEC filings

Disclosure under SASB Standards is voluntary It is not intended to replace any legal or regulatory requirements that

may be applicable to user operations Where such laws or regulations address legal or regulatory topics disclosure

under SASB Standards is not meant to supersede those requirements Disclosure according to SASB Standards shall

not be construed as demonstration of compliance with any law regulation or other requirement

SASB Standards are intended to be aligned with the principles of materiality enforced by the SEC However SASB is

not affiliated with or endorsed by the SEC or other entities governing financial reporting such as FASB GASB or

IASB

Forward-looking Statements

Disclosures on sustainability topics can involve discussion of future trends and uncertainties related to the

registrantrsquos operations and financial condition including those influenced by external variables (eg environmental

social regulatory and political) Companies making such disclosures should familiarize themselves with the safe

harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act which preclude civil

liability for material misstatements or omissions in such statements if the registrant takes certain steps including

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Description

Landfill gas (LFG) is a significant anthropogenic contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions because it

contains highly potent methane whose emissions are limited by federal regulations Given its potency federal

regulations limit LFG emissions Many states also mandate monitoring and collection of LFG including California

under its Assembly Bill 32 LFG emissions can be reduced through a variety of control technologies that require

significant capital expenditure LFG-collection-efficiency improvements LFG-control devices and increased

methane oxidization Methane collected through LFG capture systems can be combusted in a flare an engine or a

turbine to dramatically reduce the overall toxicity and potency of raw LFG LFG capture is particularly important for

owners and operators of large landfills that have been the target of regulation LFG emissions pose a regulatory risk

for the industry with potential impacts on operational costs and capital expenditures There is also the potential for

revenue generation through the sale of natural gas and the ability to lower fuel purchases by using processed LFG

to power operations Performance on this issue can affect a companyrsquos ability to secure new permits and renew

existing ones which can have an impact on revenue

Air Quality

Description

Air pollution is the presence of air contaminants in such quantities and duration that they can be injurious to

humans animals plants or property It also includes contaminants that interfere with enjoyment of life or

property Therefore odors and toxic gases such as those emitted from landfills landfill fires waste incinerators

and waste treatment plants are considered air pollution The financial impacts from excessive air emissions vary

depending on the specific location of operations and the prevailing air emissions regulations but they can include

capital expenditures increased operating costs fines and lawsuits from affected communities Human health

impacts and financial consequences of poor air-quality management are likely to be exacerbated by the proximity

of waste management facilities to communities Active management of air pollutants and odorsmdashthrough

technological and process improvementsmdashcan therefore mitigate regulatory exposure and the associated future

costs of compliance from increasingly stringent air-quality regulations help companies secure and maintain

permits and protect their license to operate

Fleet Fuel Management

Description

Many companies in the Waste Management industry own and operate large vehicle fleets for waste collection and

transfer The fuel consumption of vehicle fleets is a significant industry expense both in terms of operating costs

and associated capital expenditures Fossil fuel consumption can contribute to environmental impacts including

climate change and pollution These environmental impacts have the potential to affect waste management

companies through regulatory exposure and the competitiveness of new contract proposals Hedging fuel

purchases is a common tool used to manage fleet-fuel risks however more and more waste management

companies are upgrading to more fuel-efficient fleets or switching to natural gas vehicles A cleaner-burning fleet

may also be seen as more favorable by communities living near waste management facilities with heavy traffic

Accounting Metrics

Workforce Health amp Safety

Description

The industryrsquos hazardous working conditions mean that safety is critical to waste management operations and

accidents can have a great impact on workers The Waste Management industry has higher fatality rates than most

industries Fatalities and other injuries are due primarily to transportation incidents contact with objects and

equipment and exposure to harmful substances Additionally temporary workers may be at higher risk because of

a lack of training or industry experience Poor health and safety records can result in fines and penalties and an

increase in regulatory compliance costs from more stringent oversight Waste management companies must ensure

that facilities and vehicles are operated with the highest safety standards and that the number of injuries and

accidents is minimized through a strong safety culture Companies that develop proactive safety management

plans and training requirements for their employees and contractors including conducting regular audits are likely

to improve safety records and minimize the chance of safety-related financial repercussions

Labor Relations

Description

Organized labor plays an important role in the Waste Management industry Many workers are covered under

collective bargaining agreements that protect workersrsquo rights and establish wages High unionization rates leave

waste management companies vulnerable to shutdowns and delays due to worker strikes if labor concerns are not

addressed effectively Proper management of and communication around issues such as worker pay and working

conditions can prevent conflicts with workers that could lead to extended strikes which can slow or shut down

operations and create reputational risk Waste management companies need a long-term perspective on managing

workers including their pay and benefits in a way that protects workersrsquo rights and enhances their productivity

while ensuring the financial sustainability of a companyrsquos operations

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 1 copy SASB 2016 TM

INTRODUCTION

Purpose amp Structure

This document contains the SASB Sustainability Accounting Standard (SASB Standard) for the Waste Management

industry

SASB Sustainability Accounting Standards are comprised of (1) disclosure guidance and (2) accounting

standards on sustainability topics for use by US and foreign public companies in their annual filings (Form 10-

K or 20-F) with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) To the extent relevant SASB Standards may

also be applicable to other periodic mandatory filings with the SEC such as the Form 10-Q Form S-1 and Form

8-K

SASB Standards identify sustainability topics at an industry level which may constitute material informationmdash

depending on a companyrsquos specific operating contextmdashfor a company within that industry SASB Standards are

intended to provide guidance to company management which is ultimately responsible for determining which

information is material and should therefore be included in its Form 10-K or 20-F and other periodic SEC filings

SASB Standards provide companies with standardized sustainability metrics designed to communicate performance

on industry level sustainability topics When making disclosure on sustainability topics companies can use SASB

Standards to help ensure that disclosure is standardized and therefore decision-useful relevant comparable and

complete

SASB Standards are intended to constitute ldquosuitable criteriardquo as defined by AT 10123 - 321 and referenced in AT

7012 as having the following attributes

bull ObjectivitymdashCriteria should be free from bias

bull MeasurabilitymdashCriteria should permit reasonably consistent measurements qualitative or quantitative

of subject matter

bull CompletenessmdashCriteria should be sufficiently complete so that those relevant factors that would alter

a conclusion about subject matter are not omitted

bull RelevancemdashCriteria should be relevant to the subject matter

Industry Description

The Waste Management industry includes companies that collect store dispose of recycle or treat various forms

of waste from residential commercial and industrial clients Types of waste include municipal solid waste

hazardous waste recyclable materials and compostable or organic materials Certain industry players also provide

environmental engineering and consulting services mostly to large industrial clients Major companies are vertically

integrated providing a range of services from collection to landfilling to recycling while others provide specialized

services such as treating medical and industrial wastes Most US-listed companies in the industry operate

exclusively within the US while some companies have broadened their activities internationally

Guidance for Disclosure of Sustainability Topics in SEC Filings

1 Industry-Level Sustainability Topics

For the Waste Management industry SASB has identified the following sustainability disclosure topics

bull Greenhouse Gas Emissions

bull Air Quality

bull Fleet Fuel Management

bull Management of Leachate amp Hazardous

Waste

bull Workforce Health amp Safety

bull Labor Relations

bull Recycling amp Resource Recovery

2 Company-Level Determination and Disclosure of Material Sustainability Topics

Sustainability disclosures are governed by the same laws and regulations that govern disclosures by securities issuers

generally According to the US Supreme Court a fact is material if in the event such fact is omitted from a

particular disclosure there is ldquoa substantial likelihood that the disclosure of the omitted fact would have been

viewed by the reasonable investor as having significantly altered the lsquototal mixrsquo of the information made

availablerdquo34

SASB has attempted to identify those sustainability topics that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the

financial condition or operating performance of companies within each SICS industry SASB recognizes however

that each company is ultimately responsible for determining what information should be disclosed within the

context of Regulation S-K and other guidance

Regulation S-K which sets forth certain disclosure requirements associated with Form 10-K and other SEC filings

requires companies among other things to describe in the Managementrsquos Discussion and Analysis of Financial

Condition and Results of Operations (MDampA) section of Form 10-K ldquoany known trends or uncertainties that have

had or that the registrant reasonably expects will have a material favorable or unfavorable impact on net sales or

revenues or income from continuing operations If the registrant knows of events that will cause a material change

in the relationship between costs and revenues (such as known future increases in costs of labor or materials or price

increases or inventory adjustments) the change in the relationship shall be disclosedrdquo

Furthermore Instructions to Item 303 state that the MDampA ldquoshall focus specifically on material events and

uncertainties known to management that would cause reported financial information not to be necessarily

indicative of future operating results or of future financial conditionrdquo2

3 TSC Industries v Northway Inc 426 US 438 (1976) 4 CFR 229303(Item 303)(a)(3)(ii)

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 3 copy SASB 2016 TM

The SEC has provided guidance for companies to use in determining whether a trend or uncertainty should be

disclosed The two-part assessment prescribed by the SEC based on probability and magnitude can be applied to

the topics included within this standard

bull First a company is not required to make disclosure about a known trend or uncertainty if its

management determines that such trend or uncertainty is not reasonably likely to occur

bull Second if a companyrsquos management cannot make a reasonable determination of the likelihood of an

event or uncertainty then disclosure is required unless management determines that a material effect

on the registrantrsquos financial condition or results of operation is not reasonably likely to occur

3 Sustainability Accounting Standard Disclosures in Form 10-K

a Managementrsquos Discussion and Analysis

For purposes of comparability and usability companies should consider making disclosure on

sustainability topics in the MDampA in a sub-section titled ldquoSustainability Accounting Standards Disclosuresrdquo5

b Other Relevant Sections of Form 10-K

In addition to the MDampA section it may be relevant for companies to disclose sustainability information in

other sections of Form 10-K including but not limited to

bull Description of businessmdashItem 101 of Regulation S-K requires a company to provide a description of

its business and its subsidiaries Item 101(c)(1)(xii) expressly requires disclosure regarding certain costs

of complying with environmental laws

Appropriate disclosure also shall be made as to the material effects that compliance with Federal State and local

provisions which have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or

otherwise relating to the protection of the environment may have upon the capital expenditures earnings and

competitive position of the registrant and its subsidiaries

bull Legal proceedingsmdashItem 103 of Regulation S-K requires companies to describe briefly any material

pending or contemplated legal proceedings Instructions to Item 103 provide specific disclosure

requirements for administrative or judicial proceedings arising from laws and regulations that target

discharge of materials into the environment or that are primarily for the purpose of protecting the

environment

bull Risk factorsmdashItem 503(c) of Regulation S-K requires filing companies to provide a discussion of the

most significant factors that make an investment in the registrant speculative or risky clearly stating

the risk and specifying how a particular risk affects the particular filing company

5 SEC [Release Nos 33-8056 34-45321 FR-61] Commission Statement about Managementrsquos Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ldquoWe also want to remind registrants that disclosure must be both useful and understandable That is management should provide the most relevant information and provide it using language and formats that investors can be expected to understand Registrants should be aware also that investors will often find information relating to a particular matter more meaningful if it is disclosed in a single location rather than presented in a fragmented manner throughout the filingrdquo

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 4 copy SASB 2016 TM

c Rule 12b-20

Securities Act Rule 408 and Exchange Act Rule 12b-20 require a registrant to disclose in addition to the

information expressly required by law or regulation ldquosuch further material information if any as may be

necessary to make the required statements in light of the circumstances under which they are made not

misleadingrdquo

More detailed guidance on disclosure of material sustainability topics can be found in the SASB Conceptual

Framework available for download via httpwwwsasborgapproachconceptual-framework

Guidance on Accounting for Sustainability Topics

For each sustainability topic included in the Waste Management industry Sustainability Accounting Standard SASB

identifies accounting metrics

SASB recommends that each company consider using these sustainability accounting metrics when preparing

disclosures on the sustainability topics identified herein

As appropriatemdashand consistent with Rule 12b-206mdashwhen disclosing a sustainability topic identified by this

Standard companies should consider including a narrative description of any material factors necessary to ensure

completeness accuracy and comparability of the data reported Where not addressed by the specific accounting

metrics but relevant the registrant should discuss the following related to the topic

bull The registrantrsquos strategic approach to managing performance on material sustainability issues

bull The registrantrsquos relative performance with respect to its peers

bull The degree of control the registrant has

bull Any measures the registrant has undertaken or plans to undertake to improve performance

and

bull Data for the registrantrsquos last three completed fiscal years (when available)

SASB recommends that registrants use SASB Standards specific to their primary industry as identified in the

Sustainable Industry Classification System (SICStrade) If a registrant generates significant revenue from multiple

industries SASB recommends that it also consider sustainability topics that SASB has identified for those industries

and disclose the associated SASB accounting metrics

In disclosing to SASB Standards it is expected that registrants disclose with the same level of rigor accuracy and

responsibility as they apply to all other information contained in their SEC filings

6 SEC Rule 12b-20 ldquoIn addition to the information expressly required to be included in a statement or report there shall be added such further material information if any as may be necessary to make the required statements in the light of the circumstances under which they are made not misleadingrdquo

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 5 copy SASB 2016 TM

Users of the SASB Standards

The SASB Standards are intended to provide guidance for companies that engage in public offerings of securities

registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act) and those that issue securities registered under the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)7 for use in SEC filings including without limitation annual

reports on Form 10-K (Form 20-F for foreign issuers) quarterly reports on Form 10-Q current reports on Form 8-K

and registration statements on Forms S-1 and S-3 Disclosure with respect to the SASB Standards is not required or

endorsed by the SEC or other entities governing financial reporting such as FASB GASB or IASB

Scope of Disclosure

Unless otherwise specified SASB recommends

bull That a registrant disclose on sustainability issues and metrics for itself and for entities that are

consolidated for financial reporting purposes as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in

the United States for consistency with other accompanying information within SEC filings8

bull That for consolidated entities disclosures be made and accounting metrics calculated for the whole

entity regardless of the size of the minority interest and

bull That information from unconsolidated entities not be included in the computation of SASB

accounting metrics A registrant should disclose however information about unconsolidated entities

to the extent that the registrant considers the information necessary for investors to understand the

effect of sustainability topics on the companyrsquos financial condition or operating performance

(typically this disclosure would be limited to risks and opportunities associated with these entities)

Reporting Format

Use of Financial Data

In instances where accounting metrics activity metrics and technical protocols in this standard incorporate

financial data (eg revenues cost of sales expenses recorded and disclosed for fines etc) such financial data shall

be prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (ldquoUS

GAAPrdquo) and be consistent with the corresponding financial data reported within the registrantrsquos SEC filings Should

accounting metrics activity metrics and technical protocols in this standard incorporate disclosure of financial data

that is not prepared in accordance with US GAAP the registrant shall disclose such information in accordance with

the SEC Regulation G

7 Registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is required (1) for securities to be listed on a national securities exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange the NYSE Amex and the NASDAQ Stock Market or (2) if (A) the securities are equity securities and are held by more than 2000 persons (or 500 persons who are not accredited investors) and (B) the company has more than $10 million in assets 8 See US GAAP consolidation rules (Section 810)

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 6 copy SASB 2016 TM

Activity Metrics and Normalization

SASB recognizes that normalizing accounting metrics is important for the analysis of SASB disclosures

SASB recommends that a registrant disclose any basic business data that may assist in the accurate evaluation and

comparability of disclosure to the extent that they are not already disclosed in the Form 10-K (eg revenue

EBITDA etc)

Such datamdashtermed ldquoactivity metricsrdquomdashmay include high-level business data such as total number of employees

quantity of products produced or services provided number of facilities or number of customers It may also

include industry-specific data such as plant capacity utilization (eg for specialty chemical companies) number of

transactions (eg for Internet media and services companies) hospital bed days (eg for health care delivery

companies) or proven and probable reserves (eg for oil and gas exploration and production companies)

Activity metrics disclosed should

bull Convey contextual information that would not otherwise be apparent from SASB accounting metrics

bull Be deemed generally useful for an investor relying on SASB accounting metrics in performing their

own calculations and creating their own ratios

bull Be explained and consistently disclosed from period to period to the extent they continue to be

relevant However a decision to make a voluntary disclosure in one period does not obligate a

continuation of that disclosure if it is no longer relevant or if a better metric becomes available9

Where relevant SASB recommends specific activity metrics thatmdashat a minimummdashshould accompany SASB

accounting metric disclosures

Units of Measure

Unless specified disclosures should be reported in International System of Units (SI units)

Uncertainty

SASB recognizes that there may be inherent uncertainty when disclosing certain sustainability data and information

This may be related to variables such as the reliance on data from third-party reporting systems and technologies

or the unpredictable nature of climate events Where uncertainty around a particular disclosure exists SASB

recommends that the registrant should consider discussing its nature and likelihood

Estimates

SASB recognizes that scientifically based estimates such as the reliance on certain conversion factors or the

exclusion of de minimis values may occur for certain quantitative disclosures Where appropriate SASB does not

discourage the use of such estimates When using an estimate for a particular disclosure SASB expects that the

registrant discuss its nature and substantiate its basis

Timing

Unless otherwise specified disclosure shall be for the registrantrsquos fiscal year

Limitations

There is no guarantee that SASB Standards address all sustainability impacts or opportunities associated with a

sector industry or company and therefore a company must determine for itself the topicsmdashsustainability-related

or otherwisemdashthat warrant discussion in its SEC filings

Disclosure under SASB Standards is voluntary It is not intended to replace any legal or regulatory requirements that

may be applicable to user operations Where such laws or regulations address legal or regulatory topics disclosure

under SASB Standards is not meant to supersede those requirements Disclosure according to SASB Standards shall

not be construed as demonstration of compliance with any law regulation or other requirement

SASB Standards are intended to be aligned with the principles of materiality enforced by the SEC However SASB is

not affiliated with or endorsed by the SEC or other entities governing financial reporting such as FASB GASB or

IASB

Forward-looking Statements

Disclosures on sustainability topics can involve discussion of future trends and uncertainties related to the

registrantrsquos operations and financial condition including those influenced by external variables (eg environmental

social regulatory and political) Companies making such disclosures should familiarize themselves with the safe

harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act which preclude civil

liability for material misstatements or omissions in such statements if the registrant takes certain steps including

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 8 copy SASB 2016 TM

among other things identifying the disclosure as ldquoforward-lookingrdquo and accompanying such disclosure with

ldquomeaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially

from those in the forward-looking statementsrdquo

The following sections contain the disclosure guidance associated with each accounting metric such as guidance on

definitions scope accounting compilation and presentation

The term ldquoshallrdquo is used throughout this document to indicate those elements that reflect requirements of the

Standard The terms ldquoshouldrdquo and ldquomayrdquo are used to indicate guidance which although not required provides a

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Description

Landfill gas (LFG) is a significant anthropogenic contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions because it

contains highly potent methane whose emissions are limited by federal regulations Given its potency federal

regulations limit LFG emissions Many states also mandate monitoring and collection of LFG including California

under its Assembly Bill 32 LFG emissions can be reduced through a variety of control technologies that require

significant capital expenditure LFG-collection-efficiency improvements LFG-control devices and increased

methane oxidization Methane collected through LFG capture systems can be combusted in a flare an engine or a

turbine to dramatically reduce the overall toxicity and potency of raw LFG LFG capture is particularly important for

owners and operators of large landfills that have been the target of regulation LFG emissions pose a regulatory risk

for the industry with potential impacts on operational costs and capital expenditures There is also the potential for

revenue generation through the sale of natural gas and the ability to lower fuel purchases by using processed LFG

to power operations Performance on this issue can affect a companyrsquos ability to secure new permits and renew

existing ones which can have an impact on revenue

Air Quality

Description

Air pollution is the presence of air contaminants in such quantities and duration that they can be injurious to

humans animals plants or property It also includes contaminants that interfere with enjoyment of life or

property Therefore odors and toxic gases such as those emitted from landfills landfill fires waste incinerators

and waste treatment plants are considered air pollution The financial impacts from excessive air emissions vary

depending on the specific location of operations and the prevailing air emissions regulations but they can include

capital expenditures increased operating costs fines and lawsuits from affected communities Human health

impacts and financial consequences of poor air-quality management are likely to be exacerbated by the proximity

of waste management facilities to communities Active management of air pollutants and odorsmdashthrough

technological and process improvementsmdashcan therefore mitigate regulatory exposure and the associated future

costs of compliance from increasingly stringent air-quality regulations help companies secure and maintain

permits and protect their license to operate

Fleet Fuel Management

Description

Many companies in the Waste Management industry own and operate large vehicle fleets for waste collection and

transfer The fuel consumption of vehicle fleets is a significant industry expense both in terms of operating costs

and associated capital expenditures Fossil fuel consumption can contribute to environmental impacts including

climate change and pollution These environmental impacts have the potential to affect waste management

companies through regulatory exposure and the competitiveness of new contract proposals Hedging fuel

purchases is a common tool used to manage fleet-fuel risks however more and more waste management

companies are upgrading to more fuel-efficient fleets or switching to natural gas vehicles A cleaner-burning fleet

may also be seen as more favorable by communities living near waste management facilities with heavy traffic

Workforce Health amp Safety

Description

The industryrsquos hazardous working conditions mean that safety is critical to waste management operations and

accidents can have a great impact on workers The Waste Management industry has higher fatality rates than most

industries Fatalities and other injuries are due primarily to transportation incidents contact with objects and

equipment and exposure to harmful substances Additionally temporary workers may be at higher risk because of

a lack of training or industry experience Poor health and safety records can result in fines and penalties and an

increase in regulatory compliance costs from more stringent oversight Waste management companies must ensure

that facilities and vehicles are operated with the highest safety standards and that the number of injuries and

accidents is minimized through a strong safety culture Companies that develop proactive safety management

plans and training requirements for their employees and contractors including conducting regular audits are likely

to improve safety records and minimize the chance of safety-related financial repercussions

Labor Relations

Description

Organized labor plays an important role in the Waste Management industry Many workers are covered under

collective bargaining agreements that protect workersrsquo rights and establish wages High unionization rates leave

waste management companies vulnerable to shutdowns and delays due to worker strikes if labor concerns are not

addressed effectively Proper management of and communication around issues such as worker pay and working

conditions can prevent conflicts with workers that could lead to extended strikes which can slow or shut down

operations and create reputational risk Waste management companies need a long-term perspective on managing

workers including their pay and benefits in a way that protects workersrsquo rights and enhances their productivity

while ensuring the financial sustainability of a companyrsquos operations

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

exclusively within the US while some companies have broadened their activities internationally

Guidance for Disclosure of Sustainability Topics in SEC Filings

1 Industry-Level Sustainability Topics

For the Waste Management industry SASB has identified the following sustainability disclosure topics

bull Greenhouse Gas Emissions

bull Air Quality

bull Fleet Fuel Management

bull Management of Leachate amp Hazardous

Waste

bull Workforce Health amp Safety

bull Labor Relations

bull Recycling amp Resource Recovery

2 Company-Level Determination and Disclosure of Material Sustainability Topics

Sustainability disclosures are governed by the same laws and regulations that govern disclosures by securities issuers

generally According to the US Supreme Court a fact is material if in the event such fact is omitted from a

particular disclosure there is ldquoa substantial likelihood that the disclosure of the omitted fact would have been

viewed by the reasonable investor as having significantly altered the lsquototal mixrsquo of the information made

availablerdquo34

SASB has attempted to identify those sustainability topics that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the

financial condition or operating performance of companies within each SICS industry SASB recognizes however

that each company is ultimately responsible for determining what information should be disclosed within the

context of Regulation S-K and other guidance

Regulation S-K which sets forth certain disclosure requirements associated with Form 10-K and other SEC filings

requires companies among other things to describe in the Managementrsquos Discussion and Analysis of Financial

Condition and Results of Operations (MDampA) section of Form 10-K ldquoany known trends or uncertainties that have

had or that the registrant reasonably expects will have a material favorable or unfavorable impact on net sales or

revenues or income from continuing operations If the registrant knows of events that will cause a material change

in the relationship between costs and revenues (such as known future increases in costs of labor or materials or price

increases or inventory adjustments) the change in the relationship shall be disclosedrdquo

Furthermore Instructions to Item 303 state that the MDampA ldquoshall focus specifically on material events and

uncertainties known to management that would cause reported financial information not to be necessarily

indicative of future operating results or of future financial conditionrdquo2

3 TSC Industries v Northway Inc 426 US 438 (1976) 4 CFR 229303(Item 303)(a)(3)(ii)

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 3 copy SASB 2016 TM

The SEC has provided guidance for companies to use in determining whether a trend or uncertainty should be

disclosed The two-part assessment prescribed by the SEC based on probability and magnitude can be applied to

the topics included within this standard

bull First a company is not required to make disclosure about a known trend or uncertainty if its

management determines that such trend or uncertainty is not reasonably likely to occur

bull Second if a companyrsquos management cannot make a reasonable determination of the likelihood of an

event or uncertainty then disclosure is required unless management determines that a material effect

on the registrantrsquos financial condition or results of operation is not reasonably likely to occur

3 Sustainability Accounting Standard Disclosures in Form 10-K

a Managementrsquos Discussion and Analysis

For purposes of comparability and usability companies should consider making disclosure on

sustainability topics in the MDampA in a sub-section titled ldquoSustainability Accounting Standards Disclosuresrdquo5

b Other Relevant Sections of Form 10-K

In addition to the MDampA section it may be relevant for companies to disclose sustainability information in

other sections of Form 10-K including but not limited to

bull Description of businessmdashItem 101 of Regulation S-K requires a company to provide a description of

its business and its subsidiaries Item 101(c)(1)(xii) expressly requires disclosure regarding certain costs

of complying with environmental laws

Appropriate disclosure also shall be made as to the material effects that compliance with Federal State and local

provisions which have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or

otherwise relating to the protection of the environment may have upon the capital expenditures earnings and

competitive position of the registrant and its subsidiaries

bull Legal proceedingsmdashItem 103 of Regulation S-K requires companies to describe briefly any material

pending or contemplated legal proceedings Instructions to Item 103 provide specific disclosure

requirements for administrative or judicial proceedings arising from laws and regulations that target

discharge of materials into the environment or that are primarily for the purpose of protecting the

environment

bull Risk factorsmdashItem 503(c) of Regulation S-K requires filing companies to provide a discussion of the

most significant factors that make an investment in the registrant speculative or risky clearly stating

the risk and specifying how a particular risk affects the particular filing company

5 SEC [Release Nos 33-8056 34-45321 FR-61] Commission Statement about Managementrsquos Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ldquoWe also want to remind registrants that disclosure must be both useful and understandable That is management should provide the most relevant information and provide it using language and formats that investors can be expected to understand Registrants should be aware also that investors will often find information relating to a particular matter more meaningful if it is disclosed in a single location rather than presented in a fragmented manner throughout the filingrdquo

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 4 copy SASB 2016 TM

c Rule 12b-20

Securities Act Rule 408 and Exchange Act Rule 12b-20 require a registrant to disclose in addition to the

information expressly required by law or regulation ldquosuch further material information if any as may be

necessary to make the required statements in light of the circumstances under which they are made not

misleadingrdquo

More detailed guidance on disclosure of material sustainability topics can be found in the SASB Conceptual

Framework available for download via httpwwwsasborgapproachconceptual-framework

Guidance on Accounting for Sustainability Topics

For each sustainability topic included in the Waste Management industry Sustainability Accounting Standard SASB

identifies accounting metrics

SASB recommends that each company consider using these sustainability accounting metrics when preparing

disclosures on the sustainability topics identified herein

As appropriatemdashand consistent with Rule 12b-206mdashwhen disclosing a sustainability topic identified by this

Standard companies should consider including a narrative description of any material factors necessary to ensure

completeness accuracy and comparability of the data reported Where not addressed by the specific accounting

metrics but relevant the registrant should discuss the following related to the topic

bull The registrantrsquos strategic approach to managing performance on material sustainability issues

bull The registrantrsquos relative performance with respect to its peers

bull The degree of control the registrant has

bull Any measures the registrant has undertaken or plans to undertake to improve performance

and

bull Data for the registrantrsquos last three completed fiscal years (when available)

SASB recommends that registrants use SASB Standards specific to their primary industry as identified in the

Sustainable Industry Classification System (SICStrade) If a registrant generates significant revenue from multiple

industries SASB recommends that it also consider sustainability topics that SASB has identified for those industries

and disclose the associated SASB accounting metrics

In disclosing to SASB Standards it is expected that registrants disclose with the same level of rigor accuracy and

responsibility as they apply to all other information contained in their SEC filings

6 SEC Rule 12b-20 ldquoIn addition to the information expressly required to be included in a statement or report there shall be added such further material information if any as may be necessary to make the required statements in the light of the circumstances under which they are made not misleadingrdquo

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 5 copy SASB 2016 TM

Users of the SASB Standards

The SASB Standards are intended to provide guidance for companies that engage in public offerings of securities

registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act) and those that issue securities registered under the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)7 for use in SEC filings including without limitation annual

reports on Form 10-K (Form 20-F for foreign issuers) quarterly reports on Form 10-Q current reports on Form 8-K

and registration statements on Forms S-1 and S-3 Disclosure with respect to the SASB Standards is not required or

endorsed by the SEC or other entities governing financial reporting such as FASB GASB or IASB

Scope of Disclosure

Unless otherwise specified SASB recommends

bull That a registrant disclose on sustainability issues and metrics for itself and for entities that are

consolidated for financial reporting purposes as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in

the United States for consistency with other accompanying information within SEC filings8

bull That for consolidated entities disclosures be made and accounting metrics calculated for the whole

entity regardless of the size of the minority interest and

bull That information from unconsolidated entities not be included in the computation of SASB

accounting metrics A registrant should disclose however information about unconsolidated entities

to the extent that the registrant considers the information necessary for investors to understand the

effect of sustainability topics on the companyrsquos financial condition or operating performance

(typically this disclosure would be limited to risks and opportunities associated with these entities)

Reporting Format

Use of Financial Data

In instances where accounting metrics activity metrics and technical protocols in this standard incorporate

financial data (eg revenues cost of sales expenses recorded and disclosed for fines etc) such financial data shall

be prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (ldquoUS

GAAPrdquo) and be consistent with the corresponding financial data reported within the registrantrsquos SEC filings Should

accounting metrics activity metrics and technical protocols in this standard incorporate disclosure of financial data

that is not prepared in accordance with US GAAP the registrant shall disclose such information in accordance with

the SEC Regulation G

7 Registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is required (1) for securities to be listed on a national securities exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange the NYSE Amex and the NASDAQ Stock Market or (2) if (A) the securities are equity securities and are held by more than 2000 persons (or 500 persons who are not accredited investors) and (B) the company has more than $10 million in assets 8 See US GAAP consolidation rules (Section 810)

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 6 copy SASB 2016 TM

Activity Metrics and Normalization

SASB recognizes that normalizing accounting metrics is important for the analysis of SASB disclosures

SASB recommends that a registrant disclose any basic business data that may assist in the accurate evaluation and

comparability of disclosure to the extent that they are not already disclosed in the Form 10-K (eg revenue

EBITDA etc)

Such datamdashtermed ldquoactivity metricsrdquomdashmay include high-level business data such as total number of employees

quantity of products produced or services provided number of facilities or number of customers It may also

include industry-specific data such as plant capacity utilization (eg for specialty chemical companies) number of

transactions (eg for Internet media and services companies) hospital bed days (eg for health care delivery

companies) or proven and probable reserves (eg for oil and gas exploration and production companies)

Activity metrics disclosed should

bull Convey contextual information that would not otherwise be apparent from SASB accounting metrics

bull Be deemed generally useful for an investor relying on SASB accounting metrics in performing their

own calculations and creating their own ratios

bull Be explained and consistently disclosed from period to period to the extent they continue to be

relevant However a decision to make a voluntary disclosure in one period does not obligate a

continuation of that disclosure if it is no longer relevant or if a better metric becomes available9

Where relevant SASB recommends specific activity metrics thatmdashat a minimummdashshould accompany SASB

Units of Measure

Unless specified disclosures should be reported in International System of Units (SI units)

Uncertainty

SASB recognizes that there may be inherent uncertainty when disclosing certain sustainability data and information

This may be related to variables such as the reliance on data from third-party reporting systems and technologies

or the unpredictable nature of climate events Where uncertainty around a particular disclosure exists SASB

recommends that the registrant should consider discussing its nature and likelihood

Estimates

SASB recognizes that scientifically based estimates such as the reliance on certain conversion factors or the

exclusion of de minimis values may occur for certain quantitative disclosures Where appropriate SASB does not

discourage the use of such estimates When using an estimate for a particular disclosure SASB expects that the

registrant discuss its nature and substantiate its basis

Timing

Unless otherwise specified disclosure shall be for the registrantrsquos fiscal year

Limitations

There is no guarantee that SASB Standards address all sustainability impacts or opportunities associated with a

sector industry or company and therefore a company must determine for itself the topicsmdashsustainability-related

or otherwisemdashthat warrant discussion in its SEC filings

Disclosure under SASB Standards is voluntary It is not intended to replace any legal or regulatory requirements that

may be applicable to user operations Where such laws or regulations address legal or regulatory topics disclosure

under SASB Standards is not meant to supersede those requirements Disclosure according to SASB Standards shall

not be construed as demonstration of compliance with any law regulation or other requirement

SASB Standards are intended to be aligned with the principles of materiality enforced by the SEC However SASB is

not affiliated with or endorsed by the SEC or other entities governing financial reporting such as FASB GASB or

IASB

Forward-looking Statements

Disclosures on sustainability topics can involve discussion of future trends and uncertainties related to the

registrantrsquos operations and financial condition including those influenced by external variables (eg environmental

social regulatory and political) Companies making such disclosures should familiarize themselves with the safe

harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act which preclude civil

liability for material misstatements or omissions in such statements if the registrant takes certain steps including

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 8 copy SASB 2016 TM

among other things identifying the disclosure as ldquoforward-lookingrdquo and accompanying such disclosure with

ldquomeaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially

from those in the forward-looking statementsrdquo

The following sections contain the disclosure guidance associated with each accounting metric such as guidance on

definitions scope accounting compilation and presentation

The term ldquoshallrdquo is used throughout this document to indicate those elements that reflect requirements of the

Standard The terms ldquoshouldrdquo and ldquomayrdquo are used to indicate guidance which although not required provides a

recommended means of disclosure

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Description

Landfill gas (LFG) is a significant anthropogenic contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions because it

contains highly potent methane whose emissions are limited by federal regulations Given its potency federal

regulations limit LFG emissions Many states also mandate monitoring and collection of LFG including California

under its Assembly Bill 32 LFG emissions can be reduced through a variety of control technologies that require

significant capital expenditure LFG-collection-efficiency improvements LFG-control devices and increased

methane oxidization Methane collected through LFG capture systems can be combusted in a flare an engine or a

turbine to dramatically reduce the overall toxicity and potency of raw LFG LFG capture is particularly important for

owners and operators of large landfills that have been the target of regulation LFG emissions pose a regulatory risk

for the industry with potential impacts on operational costs and capital expenditures There is also the potential for

revenue generation through the sale of natural gas and the ability to lower fuel purchases by using processed LFG

to power operations Performance on this issue can affect a companyrsquos ability to secure new permits and renew

existing ones which can have an impact on revenue

Air Quality

Description

Air pollution is the presence of air contaminants in such quantities and duration that they can be injurious to

humans animals plants or property It also includes contaminants that interfere with enjoyment of life or

property Therefore odors and toxic gases such as those emitted from landfills landfill fires waste incinerators

and waste treatment plants are considered air pollution The financial impacts from excessive air emissions vary

depending on the specific location of operations and the prevailing air emissions regulations but they can include

capital expenditures increased operating costs fines and lawsuits from affected communities Human health

impacts and financial consequences of poor air-quality management are likely to be exacerbated by the proximity

of waste management facilities to communities Active management of air pollutants and odorsmdashthrough

technological and process improvementsmdashcan therefore mitigate regulatory exposure and the associated future

costs of compliance from increasingly stringent air-quality regulations help companies secure and maintain

permits and protect their license to operate

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

As appropriatemdashand consistent with Rule 12b-206mdashwhen disclosing a sustainability topic identified by this

Standard companies should consider including a narrative description of any material factors necessary to ensure

completeness accuracy and comparability of the data reported Where not addressed by the specific accounting

metrics but relevant the registrant should discuss the following related to the topic

bull The registrantrsquos strategic approach to managing performance on material sustainability issues

bull The registrantrsquos relative performance with respect to its peers

bull The degree of control the registrant has

bull Any measures the registrant has undertaken or plans to undertake to improve performance

and

bull Data for the registrantrsquos last three completed fiscal years (when available)

SASB recommends that registrants use SASB Standards specific to their primary industry as identified in the

Sustainable Industry Classification System (SICStrade) If a registrant generates significant revenue from multiple

industries SASB recommends that it also consider sustainability topics that SASB has identified for those industries

and disclose the associated SASB accounting metrics

In disclosing to SASB Standards it is expected that registrants disclose with the same level of rigor accuracy and

responsibility as they apply to all other information contained in their SEC filings

6 SEC Rule 12b-20 ldquoIn addition to the information expressly required to be included in a statement or report there shall be added such further material information if any as may be necessary to make the required statements in the light of the circumstances under which they are made not misleadingrdquo

Scope of Disclosure

Unless otherwise specified SASB recommends

bull That a registrant disclose on sustainability issues and metrics for itself and for entities that are

consolidated for financial reporting purposes as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in

the United States for consistency with other accompanying information within SEC filings8

bull That for consolidated entities disclosures be made and accounting metrics calculated for the whole

entity regardless of the size of the minority interest and

bull That information from unconsolidated entities not be included in the computation of SASB

accounting metrics A registrant should disclose however information about unconsolidated entities

to the extent that the registrant considers the information necessary for investors to understand the

effect of sustainability topics on the companyrsquos financial condition or operating performance

(typically this disclosure would be limited to risks and opportunities associated with these entities)

Reporting Format

Use of Financial Data

In instances where accounting metrics activity metrics and technical protocols in this standard incorporate

financial data (eg revenues cost of sales expenses recorded and disclosed for fines etc) such financial data shall

be prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (ldquoUS

GAAPrdquo) and be consistent with the corresponding financial data reported within the registrantrsquos SEC filings Should

accounting metrics activity metrics and technical protocols in this standard incorporate disclosure of financial data

that is not prepared in accordance with US GAAP the registrant shall disclose such information in accordance with

Activity Metrics and Normalization

SASB recognizes that normalizing accounting metrics is important for the analysis of SASB disclosures

SASB recommends that a registrant disclose any basic business data that may assist in the accurate evaluation and

comparability of disclosure to the extent that they are not already disclosed in the Form 10-K (eg revenue

EBITDA etc)

Such datamdashtermed ldquoactivity metricsrdquomdashmay include high-level business data such as total number of employees

quantity of products produced or services provided number of facilities or number of customers It may also

include industry-specific data such as plant capacity utilization (eg for specialty chemical companies) number of

transactions (eg for Internet media and services companies) hospital bed days (eg for health care delivery

companies) or proven and probable reserves (eg for oil and gas exploration and production companies)

Activity metrics disclosed should

bull Convey contextual information that would not otherwise be apparent from SASB accounting metrics

bull Be deemed generally useful for an investor relying on SASB accounting metrics in performing their

own calculations and creating their own ratios

bull Be explained and consistently disclosed from period to period to the extent they continue to be

relevant However a decision to make a voluntary disclosure in one period does not obligate a

continuation of that disclosure if it is no longer relevant or if a better metric becomes available9

Units of Measure

Unless specified disclosures should be reported in International System of Units (SI units)

Uncertainty

SASB recognizes that there may be inherent uncertainty when disclosing certain sustainability data and information

This may be related to variables such as the reliance on data from third-party reporting systems and technologies

or the unpredictable nature of climate events Where uncertainty around a particular disclosure exists SASB

recommends that the registrant should consider discussing its nature and likelihood

Estimates

SASB recognizes that scientifically based estimates such as the reliance on certain conversion factors or the

exclusion of de minimis values may occur for certain quantitative disclosures Where appropriate SASB does not

discourage the use of such estimates When using an estimate for a particular disclosure SASB expects that the

registrant discuss its nature and substantiate its basis

Timing

Unless otherwise specified disclosure shall be for the registrantrsquos fiscal year

Limitations

There is no guarantee that SASB Standards address all sustainability impacts or opportunities associated with a

sector industry or company and therefore a company must determine for itself the topicsmdashsustainability-related

or otherwisemdashthat warrant discussion in its SEC filings

Disclosure under SASB Standards is voluntary It is not intended to replace any legal or regulatory requirements that

may be applicable to user operations Where such laws or regulations address legal or regulatory topics disclosure

under SASB Standards is not meant to supersede those requirements Disclosure according to SASB Standards shall

not be construed as demonstration of compliance with any law regulation or other requirement

SASB Standards are intended to be aligned with the principles of materiality enforced by the SEC However SASB is

not affiliated with or endorsed by the SEC or other entities governing financial reporting such as FASB GASB or

IASB

Forward-looking Statements

Disclosures on sustainability topics can involve discussion of future trends and uncertainties related to the

registrantrsquos operations and financial condition including those influenced by external variables (eg environmental

social regulatory and political) Companies making such disclosures should familiarize themselves with the safe

harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act which preclude civil

liability for material misstatements or omissions in such statements if the registrant takes certain steps including

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Description

Landfill gas (LFG) is a significant anthropogenic contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions because it

contains highly potent methane whose emissions are limited by federal regulations Given its potency federal

regulations limit LFG emissions Many states also mandate monitoring and collection of LFG including California

under its Assembly Bill 32 LFG emissions can be reduced through a variety of control technologies that require

significant capital expenditure LFG-collection-efficiency improvements LFG-control devices and increased

methane oxidization Methane collected through LFG capture systems can be combusted in a flare an engine or a

turbine to dramatically reduce the overall toxicity and potency of raw LFG LFG capture is particularly important for

owners and operators of large landfills that have been the target of regulation LFG emissions pose a regulatory risk

for the industry with potential impacts on operational costs and capital expenditures There is also the potential for

revenue generation through the sale of natural gas and the ability to lower fuel purchases by using processed LFG

to power operations Performance on this issue can affect a companyrsquos ability to secure new permits and renew

existing ones which can have an impact on revenue

Air Quality

Description

Air pollution is the presence of air contaminants in such quantities and duration that they can be injurious to

humans animals plants or property It also includes contaminants that interfere with enjoyment of life or

property Therefore odors and toxic gases such as those emitted from landfills landfill fires waste incinerators

and waste treatment plants are considered air pollution The financial impacts from excessive air emissions vary

depending on the specific location of operations and the prevailing air emissions regulations but they can include

capital expenditures increased operating costs fines and lawsuits from affected communities Human health

impacts and financial consequences of poor air-quality management are likely to be exacerbated by the proximity

of waste management facilities to communities Active management of air pollutants and odorsmdashthrough

technological and process improvementsmdashcan therefore mitigate regulatory exposure and the associated future

costs of compliance from increasingly stringent air-quality regulations help companies secure and maintain

permits and protect their license to operate

Accounting Metrics

Fleet Fuel Management

Description

Many companies in the Waste Management industry own and operate large vehicle fleets for waste collection and

transfer The fuel consumption of vehicle fleets is a significant industry expense both in terms of operating costs

and associated capital expenditures Fossil fuel consumption can contribute to environmental impacts including

climate change and pollution These environmental impacts have the potential to affect waste management

companies through regulatory exposure and the competitiveness of new contract proposals Hedging fuel

purchases is a common tool used to manage fleet-fuel risks however more and more waste management

companies are upgrading to more fuel-efficient fleets or switching to natural gas vehicles A cleaner-burning fleet

may also be seen as more favorable by communities living near waste management facilities with heavy traffic

Accounting Metrics

IF0201-07 Fleet fuel consumed percentage renewable

32 The registrant shall disclose total fuel consumption by fleet vehicles as an aggregate figure in gigajoules or

their multiples

bull The scope includes fuel consumed by vehicles owned or operated by the registrant

33 Fuel consumption shall be based on actual fuel consumed (ie not based on design parameters)

34 Acceptable methods for calculating fuel consumption include adding fuel purchases landfill gas and fuel

generation during the year to beginning inventory at the start of the year less any fuel inventory at the end

of the year or tracking fuel consumption by vehicle or through expense reports

35 The registrant shall disclose renewable fuel consumption as a percentage of its total fuel consumption

bull Renewable fuel is defined consistent with the EPArsquos Renewable Fuel Standard (40 CFR Section

801401) as a fuel that meets the following requirements

Management of Leachate amp Hazardous Waste

Description

Companies operating landfills are required to manage and reduce risks of potential ecological impacts including

those caused by leachate and hazardous waste Poor management of landfills and other disposal sites can lead to

contamination of the soil groundwater and other nearby water bodies To mitigate risks to the environment and

the health of local communities companies must effectively contain and manage leachate as well as hazardous

waste Companies that are unable to manage these risks are likely to receive regulatory penalties lose brand value

worsen future business prospects and face lawsuits

Workforce Health amp Safety

Description

The industryrsquos hazardous working conditions mean that safety is critical to waste management operations and

accidents can have a great impact on workers The Waste Management industry has higher fatality rates than most

industries Fatalities and other injuries are due primarily to transportation incidents contact with objects and

equipment and exposure to harmful substances Additionally temporary workers may be at higher risk because of

a lack of training or industry experience Poor health and safety records can result in fines and penalties and an

increase in regulatory compliance costs from more stringent oversight Waste management companies must ensure

that facilities and vehicles are operated with the highest safety standards and that the number of injuries and

accidents is minimized through a strong safety culture Companies that develop proactive safety management

plans and training requirements for their employees and contractors including conducting regular audits are likely

to improve safety records and minimize the chance of safety-related financial repercussions

Description

Organized labor plays an important role in the Waste Management industry Many workers are covered under

collective bargaining agreements that protect workersrsquo rights and establish wages High unionization rates leave

waste management companies vulnerable to shutdowns and delays due to worker strikes if labor concerns are not

addressed effectively Proper management of and communication around issues such as worker pay and working

conditions can prevent conflicts with workers that could lead to extended strikes which can slow or shut down

operations and create reputational risk Waste management companies need a long-term perspective on managing

workers including their pay and benefits in a way that protects workersrsquo rights and enhances their productivity

while ensuring the financial sustainability of a companyrsquos operations

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

c Rule 12b-20

Securities Act Rule 408 and Exchange Act Rule 12b-20 require a registrant to disclose in addition to the

information expressly required by law or regulation ldquosuch further material information if any as may be

necessary to make the required statements in light of the circumstances under which they are made not

misleadingrdquo

More detailed guidance on disclosure of material sustainability topics can be found in the SASB Conceptual

Framework available for download via httpwwwsasborgapproachconceptual-framework

Guidance on Accounting for Sustainability Topics

For each sustainability topic included in the Waste Management industry Sustainability Accounting Standard SASB

identifies accounting metrics

SASB recommends that each company consider using these sustainability accounting metrics when preparing

disclosures on the sustainability topics identified herein

As appropriatemdashand consistent with Rule 12b-206mdashwhen disclosing a sustainability topic identified by this

Standard companies should consider including a narrative description of any material factors necessary to ensure

completeness accuracy and comparability of the data reported Where not addressed by the specific accounting

metrics but relevant the registrant should discuss the following related to the topic

bull The registrantrsquos strategic approach to managing performance on material sustainability issues

bull The registrantrsquos relative performance with respect to its peers

bull The degree of control the registrant has

bull Any measures the registrant has undertaken or plans to undertake to improve performance

and

bull Data for the registrantrsquos last three completed fiscal years (when available)

SASB recommends that registrants use SASB Standards specific to their primary industry as identified in the

Sustainable Industry Classification System (SICStrade) If a registrant generates significant revenue from multiple

industries SASB recommends that it also consider sustainability topics that SASB has identified for those industries

and disclose the associated SASB accounting metrics

In disclosing to SASB Standards it is expected that registrants disclose with the same level of rigor accuracy and

responsibility as they apply to all other information contained in their SEC filings

6 SEC Rule 12b-20 ldquoIn addition to the information expressly required to be included in a statement or report there shall be added such further material information if any as may be necessary to make the required statements in the light of the circumstances under which they are made not misleadingrdquo

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 5 copy SASB 2016 TM

Users of the SASB Standards

The SASB Standards are intended to provide guidance for companies that engage in public offerings of securities

registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act) and those that issue securities registered under the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)7 for use in SEC filings including without limitation annual

reports on Form 10-K (Form 20-F for foreign issuers) quarterly reports on Form 10-Q current reports on Form 8-K

and registration statements on Forms S-1 and S-3 Disclosure with respect to the SASB Standards is not required or

endorsed by the SEC or other entities governing financial reporting such as FASB GASB or IASB

Scope of Disclosure

Unless otherwise specified SASB recommends

bull That a registrant disclose on sustainability issues and metrics for itself and for entities that are

consolidated for financial reporting purposes as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in

the United States for consistency with other accompanying information within SEC filings8

bull That for consolidated entities disclosures be made and accounting metrics calculated for the whole

entity regardless of the size of the minority interest and

bull That information from unconsolidated entities not be included in the computation of SASB

accounting metrics A registrant should disclose however information about unconsolidated entities

to the extent that the registrant considers the information necessary for investors to understand the

effect of sustainability topics on the companyrsquos financial condition or operating performance

(typically this disclosure would be limited to risks and opportunities associated with these entities)

Reporting Format

Use of Financial Data

In instances where accounting metrics activity metrics and technical protocols in this standard incorporate

financial data (eg revenues cost of sales expenses recorded and disclosed for fines etc) such financial data shall

be prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (ldquoUS

GAAPrdquo) and be consistent with the corresponding financial data reported within the registrantrsquos SEC filings Should

accounting metrics activity metrics and technical protocols in this standard incorporate disclosure of financial data

that is not prepared in accordance with US GAAP the registrant shall disclose such information in accordance with

the SEC Regulation G

7 Registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is required (1) for securities to be listed on a national securities exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange the NYSE Amex and the NASDAQ Stock Market or (2) if (A) the securities are equity securities and are held by more than 2000 persons (or 500 persons who are not accredited investors) and (B) the company has more than $10 million in assets 8 See US GAAP consolidation rules (Section 810)

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 6 copy SASB 2016 TM

Activity Metrics and Normalization

SASB recognizes that normalizing accounting metrics is important for the analysis of SASB disclosures

SASB recommends that a registrant disclose any basic business data that may assist in the accurate evaluation and

comparability of disclosure to the extent that they are not already disclosed in the Form 10-K (eg revenue

EBITDA etc)

Such datamdashtermed ldquoactivity metricsrdquomdashmay include high-level business data such as total number of employees

quantity of products produced or services provided number of facilities or number of customers It may also

include industry-specific data such as plant capacity utilization (eg for specialty chemical companies) number of

transactions (eg for Internet media and services companies) hospital bed days (eg for health care delivery

companies) or proven and probable reserves (eg for oil and gas exploration and production companies)

Activity metrics disclosed should

bull Convey contextual information that would not otherwise be apparent from SASB accounting metrics

bull Be deemed generally useful for an investor relying on SASB accounting metrics in performing their

own calculations and creating their own ratios

bull Be explained and consistently disclosed from period to period to the extent they continue to be

relevant However a decision to make a voluntary disclosure in one period does not obligate a

continuation of that disclosure if it is no longer relevant or if a better metric becomes available9

Where relevant SASB recommends specific activity metrics thatmdashat a minimummdashshould accompany SASB

accounting metric disclosures

Units of Measure

Unless specified disclosures should be reported in International System of Units (SI units)

Uncertainty

SASB recognizes that there may be inherent uncertainty when disclosing certain sustainability data and information

This may be related to variables such as the reliance on data from third-party reporting systems and technologies

or the unpredictable nature of climate events Where uncertainty around a particular disclosure exists SASB

recommends that the registrant should consider discussing its nature and likelihood

Estimates

SASB recognizes that scientifically based estimates such as the reliance on certain conversion factors or the

exclusion of de minimis values may occur for certain quantitative disclosures Where appropriate SASB does not

discourage the use of such estimates When using an estimate for a particular disclosure SASB expects that the

registrant discuss its nature and substantiate its basis

Timing

Unless otherwise specified disclosure shall be for the registrantrsquos fiscal year

Limitations

There is no guarantee that SASB Standards address all sustainability impacts or opportunities associated with a

sector industry or company and therefore a company must determine for itself the topicsmdashsustainability-related

or otherwisemdashthat warrant discussion in its SEC filings

Disclosure under SASB Standards is voluntary It is not intended to replace any legal or regulatory requirements that

may be applicable to user operations Where such laws or regulations address legal or regulatory topics disclosure

under SASB Standards is not meant to supersede those requirements Disclosure according to SASB Standards shall

not be construed as demonstration of compliance with any law regulation or other requirement

SASB Standards are intended to be aligned with the principles of materiality enforced by the SEC However SASB is

not affiliated with or endorsed by the SEC or other entities governing financial reporting such as FASB GASB or

IASB

Forward-looking Statements

Disclosures on sustainability topics can involve discussion of future trends and uncertainties related to the

registrantrsquos operations and financial condition including those influenced by external variables (eg environmental

social regulatory and political) Companies making such disclosures should familiarize themselves with the safe

harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act which preclude civil

liability for material misstatements or omissions in such statements if the registrant takes certain steps including

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 8 copy SASB 2016 TM

among other things identifying the disclosure as ldquoforward-lookingrdquo and accompanying such disclosure with

ldquomeaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially

from those in the forward-looking statementsrdquo

The following sections contain the disclosure guidance associated with each accounting metric such as guidance on

definitions scope accounting compilation and presentation

The term ldquoshallrdquo is used throughout this document to indicate those elements that reflect requirements of the

Standard The terms ldquoshouldrdquo and ldquomayrdquo are used to indicate guidance which although not required provides a

recommended means of disclosure

Landfill gas (LFG) is a significant anthropogenic contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions because it

contains highly potent methane whose emissions are limited by federal regulations Given its potency federal

regulations limit LFG emissions Many states also mandate monitoring and collection of LFG including California

under its Assembly Bill 32 LFG emissions can be reduced through a variety of control technologies that require

significant capital expenditure LFG-collection-efficiency improvements LFG-control devices and increased

methane oxidization Methane collected through LFG capture systems can be combusted in a flare an engine or a

turbine to dramatically reduce the overall toxicity and potency of raw LFG LFG capture is particularly important for

owners and operators of large landfills that have been the target of regulation LFG emissions pose a regulatory risk

for the industry with potential impacts on operational costs and capital expenditures There is also the potential for

revenue generation through the sale of natural gas and the ability to lower fuel purchases by using processed LFG

to power operations Performance on this issue can affect a companyrsquos ability to secure new permits and renew

existing ones which can have an impact on revenue

Air Quality

Description

Air pollution is the presence of air contaminants in such quantities and duration that they can be injurious to

humans animals plants or property It also includes contaminants that interfere with enjoyment of life or

property Therefore odors and toxic gases such as those emitted from landfills landfill fires waste incinerators

and waste treatment plants are considered air pollution The financial impacts from excessive air emissions vary

depending on the specific location of operations and the prevailing air emissions regulations but they can include

capital expenditures increased operating costs fines and lawsuits from affected communities Human health

impacts and financial consequences of poor air-quality management are likely to be exacerbated by the proximity

of waste management facilities to communities Active management of air pollutants and odorsmdashthrough

technological and process improvementsmdashcan therefore mitigate regulatory exposure and the associated future

costs of compliance from increasingly stringent air-quality regulations help companies secure and maintain

permits and protect their license to operate

Description

Many companies in the Waste Management industry own and operate large vehicle fleets for waste collection and

transfer The fuel consumption of vehicle fleets is a significant industry expense both in terms of operating costs

and associated capital expenditures Fossil fuel consumption can contribute to environmental impacts including

climate change and pollution These environmental impacts have the potential to affect waste management

companies through regulatory exposure and the competitiveness of new contract proposals Hedging fuel

purchases is a common tool used to manage fleet-fuel risks however more and more waste management

companies are upgrading to more fuel-efficient fleets or switching to natural gas vehicles A cleaner-burning fleet

may also be seen as more favorable by communities living near waste management facilities with heavy traffic

accidents can have a great impact on workers The Waste Management industry has higher fatality rates than most

industries Fatalities and other injuries are due primarily to transportation incidents contact with objects and

equipment and exposure to harmful substances Additionally temporary workers may be at higher risk because of

a lack of training or industry experience Poor health and safety records can result in fines and penalties and an

increase in regulatory compliance costs from more stringent oversight Waste management companies must ensure

that facilities and vehicles are operated with the highest safety standards and that the number of injuries and

accidents is minimized through a strong safety culture Companies that develop proactive safety management

plans and training requirements for their employees and contractors including conducting regular audits are likely

to improve safety records and minimize the chance of safety-related financial repercussions

Labor Relations

Description

Organized labor plays an important role in the Waste Management industry Many workers are covered under

collective bargaining agreements that protect workersrsquo rights and establish wages High unionization rates leave

waste management companies vulnerable to shutdowns and delays due to worker strikes if labor concerns are not

addressed effectively Proper management of and communication around issues such as worker pay and working

conditions can prevent conflicts with workers that could lead to extended strikes which can slow or shut down

operations and create reputational risk Waste management companies need a long-term perspective on managing

workers including their pay and benefits in a way that protects workersrsquo rights and enhances their productivity

while ensuring the financial sustainability of a companyrsquos operations

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

Accounting Metrics

Units of Measure

Unless specified disclosures should be reported in International System of Units (SI units)

Uncertainty

SASB recognizes that there may be inherent uncertainty when disclosing certain sustainability data and information

This may be related to variables such as the reliance on data from third-party reporting systems and technologies

or the unpredictable nature of climate events Where uncertainty around a particular disclosure exists SASB

recommends that the registrant should consider discussing its nature and likelihood

Estimates

SASB recognizes that scientifically based estimates such as the reliance on certain conversion factors or the

exclusion of de minimis values may occur for certain quantitative disclosures Where appropriate SASB does not

discourage the use of such estimates When using an estimate for a particular disclosure SASB expects that the

registrant discuss its nature and substantiate its basis

Timing

Unless otherwise specified disclosure shall be for the registrantrsquos fiscal year

Limitations

There is no guarantee that SASB Standards address all sustainability impacts or opportunities associated with a

sector industry or company and therefore a company must determine for itself the topicsmdashsustainability-related

or otherwisemdashthat warrant discussion in its SEC filings

Disclosure under SASB Standards is voluntary It is not intended to replace any legal or regulatory requirements that

may be applicable to user operations Where such laws or regulations address legal or regulatory topics disclosure

under SASB Standards is not meant to supersede those requirements Disclosure according to SASB Standards shall

not be construed as demonstration of compliance with any law regulation or other requirement

SASB Standards are intended to be aligned with the principles of materiality enforced by the SEC However SASB is

not affiliated with or endorsed by the SEC or other entities governing financial reporting such as FASB GASB or

IASB

Forward-looking Statements

Disclosures on sustainability topics can involve discussion of future trends and uncertainties related to the

registrantrsquos operations and financial condition including those influenced by external variables (eg environmental

social regulatory and political) Companies making such disclosures should familiarize themselves with the safe

harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act which preclude civil

liability for material misstatements or omissions in such statements if the registrant takes certain steps including

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 8 copy SASB 2016 TM

among other things identifying the disclosure as ldquoforward-lookingrdquo and accompanying such disclosure with

ldquomeaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially

from those in the forward-looking statementsrdquo

The following sections contain the disclosure guidance associated with each accounting metric such as guidance on

definitions scope accounting compilation and presentation

The term ldquoshallrdquo is used throughout this document to indicate those elements that reflect requirements of the

Standard The terms ldquoshouldrdquo and ldquomayrdquo are used to indicate guidance which although not required provides a

recommended means of disclosure

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Description

Landfill gas (LFG) is a significant anthropogenic contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions because it

contains highly potent methane whose emissions are limited by federal regulations Given its potency federal

regulations limit LFG emissions Many states also mandate monitoring and collection of LFG including California

under its Assembly Bill 32 LFG emissions can be reduced through a variety of control technologies that require

significant capital expenditure LFG-collection-efficiency improvements LFG-control devices and increased

methane oxidization Methane collected through LFG capture systems can be combusted in a flare an engine or a

turbine to dramatically reduce the overall toxicity and potency of raw LFG LFG capture is particularly important for

owners and operators of large landfills that have been the target of regulation LFG emissions pose a regulatory risk

for the industry with potential impacts on operational costs and capital expenditures There is also the potential for

revenue generation through the sale of natural gas and the ability to lower fuel purchases by using processed LFG

to power operations Performance on this issue can affect a companyrsquos ability to secure new permits and renew

existing ones which can have an impact on revenue

Air Quality

Description

Air pollution is the presence of air contaminants in such quantities and duration that they can be injurious to

humans animals plants or property It also includes contaminants that interfere with enjoyment of life or

property Therefore odors and toxic gases such as those emitted from landfills landfill fires waste incinerators

and waste treatment plants are considered air pollution The financial impacts from excessive air emissions vary

depending on the specific location of operations and the prevailing air emissions regulations but they can include

capital expenditures increased operating costs fines and lawsuits from affected communities Human health

impacts and financial consequences of poor air-quality management are likely to be exacerbated by the proximity

of waste management facilities to communities Active management of air pollutants and odorsmdashthrough

technological and process improvementsmdashcan therefore mitigate regulatory exposure and the associated future

costs of compliance from increasingly stringent air-quality regulations help companies secure and maintain

permits and protect their license to operate

Fleet Fuel Management

Description

Many companies in the Waste Management industry own and operate large vehicle fleets for waste collection and

transfer The fuel consumption of vehicle fleets is a significant industry expense both in terms of operating costs

and associated capital expenditures Fossil fuel consumption can contribute to environmental impacts including

climate change and pollution These environmental impacts have the potential to affect waste management

companies through regulatory exposure and the competitiveness of new contract proposals Hedging fuel

purchases is a common tool used to manage fleet-fuel risks however more and more waste management

companies are upgrading to more fuel-efficient fleets or switching to natural gas vehicles A cleaner-burning fleet

may also be seen as more favorable by communities living near waste management facilities with heavy traffic

Workforce Health amp Safety

Description

The industryrsquos hazardous working conditions mean that safety is critical to waste management operations and

accidents can have a great impact on workers The Waste Management industry has higher fatality rates than most

industries Fatalities and other injuries are due primarily to transportation incidents contact with objects and

equipment and exposure to harmful substances Additionally temporary workers may be at higher risk because of

a lack of training or industry experience Poor health and safety records can result in fines and penalties and an

increase in regulatory compliance costs from more stringent oversight Waste management companies must ensure

that facilities and vehicles are operated with the highest safety standards and that the number of injuries and

accidents is minimized through a strong safety culture Companies that develop proactive safety management

plans and training requirements for their employees and contractors including conducting regular audits are likely

to improve safety records and minimize the chance of safety-related financial repercussions

Labor Relations

Description

Organized labor plays an important role in the Waste Management industry Many workers are covered under

collective bargaining agreements that protect workersrsquo rights and establish wages High unionization rates leave

waste management companies vulnerable to shutdowns and delays due to worker strikes if labor concerns are not

addressed effectively Proper management of and communication around issues such as worker pay and working

conditions can prevent conflicts with workers that could lead to extended strikes which can slow or shut down

operations and create reputational risk Waste management companies need a long-term perspective on managing

workers including their pay and benefits in a way that protects workersrsquo rights and enhances their productivity

while ensuring the financial sustainability of a companyrsquos operations

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

Activity Metrics and Normalization

SASB recognizes that normalizing accounting metrics is important for the analysis of SASB disclosures

SASB recommends that a registrant disclose any basic business data that may assist in the accurate evaluation and

comparability of disclosure to the extent that they are not already disclosed in the Form 10-K (eg revenue

EBITDA etc)

Such datamdashtermed ldquoactivity metricsrdquomdashmay include high-level business data such as total number of employees

quantity of products produced or services provided number of facilities or number of customers It may also

include industry-specific data such as plant capacity utilization (eg for specialty chemical companies) number of

transactions (eg for Internet media and services companies) hospital bed days (eg for health care delivery

companies) or proven and probable reserves (eg for oil and gas exploration and production companies)

Activity metrics disclosed should

bull Convey contextual information that would not otherwise be apparent from SASB accounting metrics

bull Be deemed generally useful for an investor relying on SASB accounting metrics in performing their

own calculations and creating their own ratios

bull Be explained and consistently disclosed from period to period to the extent they continue to be

relevant However a decision to make a voluntary disclosure in one period does not obligate a

continuation of that disclosure if it is no longer relevant or if a better metric becomes available9

Where relevant SASB recommends specific activity metrics thatmdashat a minimummdashshould accompany SASB

Units of Measure

Unless specified disclosures should be reported in International System of Units (SI units)

Uncertainty

SASB recognizes that there may be inherent uncertainty when disclosing certain sustainability data and information

This may be related to variables such as the reliance on data from third-party reporting systems and technologies

or the unpredictable nature of climate events Where uncertainty around a particular disclosure exists SASB

recommends that the registrant should consider discussing its nature and likelihood

Estimates

SASB recognizes that scientifically based estimates such as the reliance on certain conversion factors or the

exclusion of de minimis values may occur for certain quantitative disclosures Where appropriate SASB does not

discourage the use of such estimates When using an estimate for a particular disclosure SASB expects that the

registrant discuss its nature and substantiate its basis

Timing

Unless otherwise specified disclosure shall be for the registrantrsquos fiscal year

Limitations

There is no guarantee that SASB Standards address all sustainability impacts or opportunities associated with a

sector industry or company and therefore a company must determine for itself the topicsmdashsustainability-related

or otherwisemdashthat warrant discussion in its SEC filings

Disclosure under SASB Standards is voluntary It is not intended to replace any legal or regulatory requirements that

may be applicable to user operations Where such laws or regulations address legal or regulatory topics disclosure

under SASB Standards is not meant to supersede those requirements Disclosure according to SASB Standards shall

not be construed as demonstration of compliance with any law regulation or other requirement

SASB Standards are intended to be aligned with the principles of materiality enforced by the SEC However SASB is

not affiliated with or endorsed by the SEC or other entities governing financial reporting such as FASB GASB or

IASB

Forward-looking Statements

Disclosures on sustainability topics can involve discussion of future trends and uncertainties related to the

registrantrsquos operations and financial condition including those influenced by external variables (eg environmental

social regulatory and political) Companies making such disclosures should familiarize themselves with the safe

harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act which preclude civil

liability for material misstatements or omissions in such statements if the registrant takes certain steps including

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 8 copy SASB 2016 TM

among other things identifying the disclosure as ldquoforward-lookingrdquo and accompanying such disclosure with

ldquomeaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially

from those in the forward-looking statementsrdquo

The following sections contain the disclosure guidance associated with each accounting metric such as guidance on

definitions scope accounting compilation and presentation

The term ldquoshallrdquo is used throughout this document to indicate those elements that reflect requirements of the

Standard The terms ldquoshouldrdquo and ldquomayrdquo are used to indicate guidance which although not required provides a

recommended means of disclosure

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Description

Landfill gas (LFG) is a significant anthropogenic contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions because it

contains highly potent methane whose emissions are limited by federal regulations Given its potency federal

regulations limit LFG emissions Many states also mandate monitoring and collection of LFG including California

under its Assembly Bill 32 LFG emissions can be reduced through a variety of control technologies that require

significant capital expenditure LFG-collection-efficiency improvements LFG-control devices and increased

methane oxidization Methane collected through LFG capture systems can be combusted in a flare an engine or a

turbine to dramatically reduce the overall toxicity and potency of raw LFG LFG capture is particularly important for

owners and operators of large landfills that have been the target of regulation LFG emissions pose a regulatory risk

for the industry with potential impacts on operational costs and capital expenditures There is also the potential for

revenue generation through the sale of natural gas and the ability to lower fuel purchases by using processed LFG

to power operations Performance on this issue can affect a companyrsquos ability to secure new permits and renew

existing ones which can have an impact on revenue

Accounting Metrics

IF0201-01 (1) Gross global Scope 1 emissions (2) percentage covered under emissions-limiting regulation and (3) percentage covered under emissions-reporting regulation

calculated in accordance with published 100-year time horizon global warming potential (GWP)

factors To date the preferred source for GWP factors is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate

Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (2013)

bull Gross emissions are GHGs emitted to the atmosphere before accounting for any GHG reduction

activities offsets or other adjustments for activities in the reporting period that have reduced or

compensated for emissions

bull Disclosure corresponds to section CC82 of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Questionnaire

(2015) and REQ-04 of the Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB) Framework for reporting

(EU ETS) Quebec Cap-and-Trade (Draft Bill 42 of 2009) California Cap-and-Trade (California Global

Warming Solutions Act) New Source Performance Standards and Emissions Guidelines for Municipal Solid

Waste Landfills or other regulatory programs

bull Regulatory programs include cap-and-trade schemes carbon taxfee systems and other emissions

control (eg command-and-control approach) and permit-based mechanisms

bull Disclosure shall exclude emissions covered under voluntary trading systems and disclosure-based

regulations (eg the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Greenhouse Gas Reporting

Program)

14 ldquoAn organization has financial control over an operation if it has the ability to direct the financial and operating policies of the operation with a view to gaining economic benefits from its activities Generally an organization has financial control over an operation for GHG accounting purposes if the operation is treated as a group company or subsidiary for the purposes of financial consolidationrdquo Guidance for companies reporting on climate change on behalf of investors amp supply chain members 2013 p 95 15 This is based on the requirements of International Accounting StandardsInternational Financial Reporting Standards (IASIFRS) on consolidation and equity accounting and is consistent with how information relating to entities within a group or interest in joint venturesassociates would be included on consolidated financial statements as further detailed in CDSB Proposals for Boundary Setting in Mainstream Reports

authorities andor to the public but for which there is no limit cost target or controls on the

amount of emissions generated

06 The registrant should discuss any change in its emissions from the previous fiscal year such as if the change

was due to emissions reductions divestment acquisition mergers changes in output andor changes in

calculation methodology

07 In the case that current reporting of GHG emissions to the CDP or other entities (eg a national regulatory

disclosure program) differs in terms of the methodology calculation (eg different GWP factors) scope

andor consolidation approach used the registrant may disclose those emissions However primary

disclosure shall be according to the guidelines described above

08 The registrant should discuss the calculation methodology for its emissions disclosure such as if data are from continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS) engineering calculations mass balance calculations etc

amount of landfill gas generated the percentage flared and the percentage used for energy

12 The registrant shall calculate the percentage of landfill gas that was flared as the total amount in MMBtu

of landfill gas that was flared divided by the total amount of landfill gas generated where

bull Flared landfill gas includes gas that is flared through air injection and is defined consistent with 40

CFR 986 as gas that is combusted through the use of an open flame with combustion air provided

by uncontrolled ambient air around the flame andor air that is blown into the flare to induce

Air Quality

Description

Air pollution is the presence of air contaminants in such quantities and duration that they can be injurious to

humans animals plants or property It also includes contaminants that interfere with enjoyment of life or

property Therefore odors and toxic gases such as those emitted from landfills landfill fires waste incinerators

and waste treatment plants are considered air pollution The financial impacts from excessive air emissions vary

depending on the specific location of operations and the prevailing air emissions regulations but they can include

capital expenditures increased operating costs fines and lawsuits from affected communities Human health

impacts and financial consequences of poor air-quality management are likely to be exacerbated by the proximity

of waste management facilities to communities Active management of air pollutants and odorsmdashthrough

technological and process improvementsmdashcan therefore mitigate regulatory exposure and the associated future

costs of compliance from increasingly stringent air-quality regulations help companies secure and maintain

permits and protect their license to operate

Accounting Metrics

Fleet Fuel Management

Description

Many companies in the Waste Management industry own and operate large vehicle fleets for waste collection and

transfer The fuel consumption of vehicle fleets is a significant industry expense both in terms of operating costs

and associated capital expenditures Fossil fuel consumption can contribute to environmental impacts including

climate change and pollution These environmental impacts have the potential to affect waste management

companies through regulatory exposure and the competitiveness of new contract proposals Hedging fuel

purchases is a common tool used to manage fleet-fuel risks however more and more waste management

companies are upgrading to more fuel-efficient fleets or switching to natural gas vehicles A cleaner-burning fleet

may also be seen as more favorable by communities living near waste management facilities with heavy traffic

industries Fatalities and other injuries are due primarily to transportation incidents contact with objects and

equipment and exposure to harmful substances Additionally temporary workers may be at higher risk because of

a lack of training or industry experience Poor health and safety records can result in fines and penalties and an

increase in regulatory compliance costs from more stringent oversight Waste management companies must ensure

that facilities and vehicles are operated with the highest safety standards and that the number of injuries and

accidents is minimized through a strong safety culture Companies that develop proactive safety management

plans and training requirements for their employees and contractors including conducting regular audits are likely

to improve safety records and minimize the chance of safety-related financial repercussions

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

Units of Measure

Unless specified disclosures should be reported in International System of Units (SI units)

Uncertainty

SASB recognizes that there may be inherent uncertainty when disclosing certain sustainability data and information

This may be related to variables such as the reliance on data from third-party reporting systems and technologies

or the unpredictable nature of climate events Where uncertainty around a particular disclosure exists SASB

recommends that the registrant should consider discussing its nature and likelihood

Estimates

SASB recognizes that scientifically based estimates such as the reliance on certain conversion factors or the

exclusion of de minimis values may occur for certain quantitative disclosures Where appropriate SASB does not

discourage the use of such estimates When using an estimate for a particular disclosure SASB expects that the

registrant discuss its nature and substantiate its basis

Timing

Unless otherwise specified disclosure shall be for the registrantrsquos fiscal year

Limitations

There is no guarantee that SASB Standards address all sustainability impacts or opportunities associated with a

sector industry or company and therefore a company must determine for itself the topicsmdashsustainability-related

or otherwisemdashthat warrant discussion in its SEC filings

Disclosure under SASB Standards is voluntary It is not intended to replace any legal or regulatory requirements that

may be applicable to user operations Where such laws or regulations address legal or regulatory topics disclosure

under SASB Standards is not meant to supersede those requirements Disclosure according to SASB Standards shall

not be construed as demonstration of compliance with any law regulation or other requirement

SASB Standards are intended to be aligned with the principles of materiality enforced by the SEC However SASB is

not affiliated with or endorsed by the SEC or other entities governing financial reporting such as FASB GASB or

IASB

Forward-looking Statements

Disclosures on sustainability topics can involve discussion of future trends and uncertainties related to the

registrantrsquos operations and financial condition including those influenced by external variables (eg environmental

social regulatory and political) Companies making such disclosures should familiarize themselves with the safe

harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act which preclude civil

liability for material misstatements or omissions in such statements if the registrant takes certain steps including

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 8 copy SASB 2016 TM

among other things identifying the disclosure as ldquoforward-lookingrdquo and accompanying such disclosure with

ldquomeaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially

from those in the forward-looking statementsrdquo

The following sections contain the disclosure guidance associated with each accounting metric such as guidance on

definitions scope accounting compilation and presentation

The term ldquoshallrdquo is used throughout this document to indicate those elements that reflect requirements of the

Standard The terms ldquoshouldrdquo and ldquomayrdquo are used to indicate guidance which although not required provides a

recommended means of disclosure

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Description

Landfill gas (LFG) is a significant anthropogenic contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions because it

contains highly potent methane whose emissions are limited by federal regulations Given its potency federal

regulations limit LFG emissions Many states also mandate monitoring and collection of LFG including California

under its Assembly Bill 32 LFG emissions can be reduced through a variety of control technologies that require

significant capital expenditure LFG-collection-efficiency improvements LFG-control devices and increased

methane oxidization Methane collected through LFG capture systems can be combusted in a flare an engine or a

turbine to dramatically reduce the overall toxicity and potency of raw LFG LFG capture is particularly important for

owners and operators of large landfills that have been the target of regulation LFG emissions pose a regulatory risk

for the industry with potential impacts on operational costs and capital expenditures There is also the potential for

revenue generation through the sale of natural gas and the ability to lower fuel purchases by using processed LFG

to power operations Performance on this issue can affect a companyrsquos ability to secure new permits and renew

existing ones which can have an impact on revenue

Accounting Metrics

IF0201-01 (1) Gross global Scope 1 emissions (2) percentage covered under emissions-limiting regulation and (3) percentage covered under emissions-reporting regulation

01 The registrant shall disclose gross global Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the atmosphere of the

seven GHGs covered under the Kyoto Protocol (carbon dioxide methane nitrous oxide hydrofluorocarbons

perfluorocarbons sulfur hexafluoride and nitrogen trifluoride)

bull Emissions of all gases shall be disclosed in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2-e)

calculated in accordance with published 100-year time horizon global warming potential (GWP)

factors To date the preferred source for GWP factors is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate

Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (2013)

bull Gross emissions are GHGs emitted to the atmosphere before accounting for any GHG reduction

activities offsets or other adjustments for activities in the reporting period that have reduced or

compensated for emissions

bull Disclosure corresponds to section CC82 of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Questionnaire

(2015) and REQ-04 of the Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB) Framework for reporting

environmental information amp natural capital (2015)

The registrant shall consider the CDP Climate Change Questionnaire a normative reference thus

any updates made year-on-year shall be considered updates to this guidance

02 Scope 1 emissions are defined by the World Resources Institute and the World Business Council on

Sustainable Development (WRIWBCSD) in The Greenhouse Gas Protocol A Corporate Accounting and

Reporting Standard Revised Edition March 2004 (hereafter the ldquoGHG Protocolrdquo)

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 1 2 copy SASB 2016 TM

bull These emissions include direct emissions of GHGs from stationary or mobile sources that include but

are not limited to waste-to-energy landfill gas and transportation (ie marine road or rail)

bull Acceptable calculation methodologies include those that refer to the GHG Protocol as the basic

reference but may provide additional industry or regionally specific guidance where examples include

but are not limited to

India GHG Inventory Programme

ISO 14064-1

bull The registrant may choose to disclose the methodology or methodologies used to collect and

calculate Scope 1 emissions

03 GHG emission data shall be consolidated according to the approach with which the registrant consolidates

its financial reporting data which is generally aligned with

bull The Financial Control approach defined by the GHG Protocol and referenced by the CDP Guidance for

companies reporting on climate change on behalf of investors amp supply chain members 2015

(hereafter the ldquoCDP Guidancerdquo)14

bull The approach detailed in REQ-07 ldquoOrganisational boundaryrdquo of the CDSB Framework (2015)15

04 The registrant shall disclose the percentage of its emissions that are covered under a regulatory program

that is intended to limit or reduce GHG emissions such as the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme

(EU ETS) Quebec Cap-and-Trade (Draft Bill 42 of 2009) California Cap-and-Trade (California Global

Warming Solutions Act) New Source Performance Standards and Emissions Guidelines for Municipal Solid

Waste Landfills or other regulatory programs

bull Regulatory programs include cap-and-trade schemes carbon taxfee systems and other emissions

control (eg command-and-control approach) and permit-based mechanisms

bull Disclosure shall exclude emissions covered under voluntary trading systems and disclosure-based

Air Quality

Description

Air pollution is the presence of air contaminants in such quantities and duration that they can be injurious to

humans animals plants or property It also includes contaminants that interfere with enjoyment of life or

property Therefore odors and toxic gases such as those emitted from landfills landfill fires waste incinerators

and waste treatment plants are considered air pollution The financial impacts from excessive air emissions vary

depending on the specific location of operations and the prevailing air emissions regulations but they can include

capital expenditures increased operating costs fines and lawsuits from affected communities Human health

impacts and financial consequences of poor air-quality management are likely to be exacerbated by the proximity

of waste management facilities to communities Active management of air pollutants and odorsmdashthrough

technological and process improvementsmdashcan therefore mitigate regulatory exposure and the associated future

costs of compliance from increasingly stringent air-quality regulations help companies secure and maintain

permits and protect their license to operate

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Description

Landfill gas (LFG) is a significant anthropogenic contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions because it

contains highly potent methane whose emissions are limited by federal regulations Given its potency federal

regulations limit LFG emissions Many states also mandate monitoring and collection of LFG including California

under its Assembly Bill 32 LFG emissions can be reduced through a variety of control technologies that require

significant capital expenditure LFG-collection-efficiency improvements LFG-control devices and increased

methane oxidization Methane collected through LFG capture systems can be combusted in a flare an engine or a

turbine to dramatically reduce the overall toxicity and potency of raw LFG LFG capture is particularly important for

owners and operators of large landfills that have been the target of regulation LFG emissions pose a regulatory risk

for the industry with potential impacts on operational costs and capital expenditures There is also the potential for

revenue generation through the sale of natural gas and the ability to lower fuel purchases by using processed LFG

to power operations Performance on this issue can affect a companyrsquos ability to secure new permits and renew

existing ones which can have an impact on revenue

Air Quality

Description

Air pollution is the presence of air contaminants in such quantities and duration that they can be injurious to

humans animals plants or property It also includes contaminants that interfere with enjoyment of life or

property Therefore odors and toxic gases such as those emitted from landfills landfill fires waste incinerators

and waste treatment plants are considered air pollution The financial impacts from excessive air emissions vary

depending on the specific location of operations and the prevailing air emissions regulations but they can include

capital expenditures increased operating costs fines and lawsuits from affected communities Human health

impacts and financial consequences of poor air-quality management are likely to be exacerbated by the proximity

of waste management facilities to communities Active management of air pollutants and odorsmdashthrough

technological and process improvementsmdashcan therefore mitigate regulatory exposure and the associated future

costs of compliance from increasingly stringent air-quality regulations help companies secure and maintain

permits and protect their license to operate

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Description

Landfill gas (LFG) is a significant anthropogenic contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions because it

contains highly potent methane whose emissions are limited by federal regulations Given its potency federal

regulations limit LFG emissions Many states also mandate monitoring and collection of LFG including California

under its Assembly Bill 32 LFG emissions can be reduced through a variety of control technologies that require

significant capital expenditure LFG-collection-efficiency improvements LFG-control devices and increased

methane oxidization Methane collected through LFG capture systems can be combusted in a flare an engine or a

turbine to dramatically reduce the overall toxicity and potency of raw LFG LFG capture is particularly important for

owners and operators of large landfills that have been the target of regulation LFG emissions pose a regulatory risk

for the industry with potential impacts on operational costs and capital expenditures There is also the potential for

revenue generation through the sale of natural gas and the ability to lower fuel purchases by using processed LFG

to power operations Performance on this issue can affect a companyrsquos ability to secure new permits and renew

existing ones which can have an impact on revenue

Air Quality

Description

Air pollution is the presence of air contaminants in such quantities and duration that they can be injurious to

humans animals plants or property It also includes contaminants that interfere with enjoyment of life or

property Therefore odors and toxic gases such as those emitted from landfills landfill fires waste incinerators

and waste treatment plants are considered air pollution The financial impacts from excessive air emissions vary

depending on the specific location of operations and the prevailing air emissions regulations but they can include

capital expenditures increased operating costs fines and lawsuits from affected communities Human health

impacts and financial consequences of poor air-quality management are likely to be exacerbated by the proximity

of waste management facilities to communities Active management of air pollutants and odorsmdashthrough

technological and process improvementsmdashcan therefore mitigate regulatory exposure and the associated future

costs of compliance from increasingly stringent air-quality regulations help companies secure and maintain

permits and protect their license to operate

Fleet Fuel Management

Description

Many companies in the Waste Management industry own and operate large vehicle fleets for waste collection and

transfer The fuel consumption of vehicle fleets is a significant industry expense both in terms of operating costs

and associated capital expenditures Fossil fuel consumption can contribute to environmental impacts including

climate change and pollution These environmental impacts have the potential to affect waste management

companies through regulatory exposure and the competitiveness of new contract proposals Hedging fuel

purchases is a common tool used to manage fleet-fuel risks however more and more waste management

companies are upgrading to more fuel-efficient fleets or switching to natural gas vehicles A cleaner-burning fleet

may also be seen as more favorable by communities living near waste management facilities with heavy traffic

Accounting Metrics

Workforce Health amp Safety

Description

The industryrsquos hazardous working conditions mean that safety is critical to waste management operations and

accidents can have a great impact on workers The Waste Management industry has higher fatality rates than most

industries Fatalities and other injuries are due primarily to transportation incidents contact with objects and

equipment and exposure to harmful substances Additionally temporary workers may be at higher risk because of

a lack of training or industry experience Poor health and safety records can result in fines and penalties and an

increase in regulatory compliance costs from more stringent oversight Waste management companies must ensure

that facilities and vehicles are operated with the highest safety standards and that the number of injuries and

accidents is minimized through a strong safety culture Companies that develop proactive safety management

plans and training requirements for their employees and contractors including conducting regular audits are likely

to improve safety records and minimize the chance of safety-related financial repercussions

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Description

Landfill gas (LFG) is a significant anthropogenic contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions because it

contains highly potent methane whose emissions are limited by federal regulations Given its potency federal

regulations limit LFG emissions Many states also mandate monitoring and collection of LFG including California

under its Assembly Bill 32 LFG emissions can be reduced through a variety of control technologies that require

significant capital expenditure LFG-collection-efficiency improvements LFG-control devices and increased

methane oxidization Methane collected through LFG capture systems can be combusted in a flare an engine or a

turbine to dramatically reduce the overall toxicity and potency of raw LFG LFG capture is particularly important for

owners and operators of large landfills that have been the target of regulation LFG emissions pose a regulatory risk

for the industry with potential impacts on operational costs and capital expenditures There is also the potential for

revenue generation through the sale of natural gas and the ability to lower fuel purchases by using processed LFG

to power operations Performance on this issue can affect a companyrsquos ability to secure new permits and renew

existing ones which can have an impact on revenue

amount of emissions generated

06 The registrant should discuss any change in its emissions from the previous fiscal year such as if the change

was due to emissions reductions divestment acquisition mergers changes in output andor changes in

calculation methodology

07 In the case that current reporting of GHG emissions to the CDP or other entities (eg a national regulatory

disclosure program) differs in terms of the methodology calculation (eg different GWP factors) scope

andor consolidation approach used the registrant may disclose those emissions However primary

disclosure shall be according to the guidelines described above

08 The registrant should discuss the calculation methodology for its emissions disclosure such as if data are from continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS) engineering calculations mass balance calculations etc

Air Quality

Description

Air pollution is the presence of air contaminants in such quantities and duration that they can be injurious to

humans animals plants or property It also includes contaminants that interfere with enjoyment of life or

property Therefore odors and toxic gases such as those emitted from landfills landfill fires waste incinerators

and waste treatment plants are considered air pollution The financial impacts from excessive air emissions vary

depending on the specific location of operations and the prevailing air emissions regulations but they can include

capital expenditures increased operating costs fines and lawsuits from affected communities Human health

impacts and financial consequences of poor air-quality management are likely to be exacerbated by the proximity

of waste management facilities to communities Active management of air pollutants and odorsmdashthrough

technological and process improvementsmdashcan therefore mitigate regulatory exposure and the associated future

costs of compliance from increasingly stringent air-quality regulations help companies secure and maintain

permits and protect their license to operate

Fleet Fuel Management

Description

Many companies in the Waste Management industry own and operate large vehicle fleets for waste collection and

transfer The fuel consumption of vehicle fleets is a significant industry expense both in terms of operating costs

and associated capital expenditures Fossil fuel consumption can contribute to environmental impacts including

climate change and pollution These environmental impacts have the potential to affect waste management

companies through regulatory exposure and the competitiveness of new contract proposals Hedging fuel

purchases is a common tool used to manage fleet-fuel risks however more and more waste management

companies are upgrading to more fuel-efficient fleets or switching to natural gas vehicles A cleaner-burning fleet

may also be seen as more favorable by communities living near waste management facilities with heavy traffic

accidents can have a great impact on workers The Waste Management industry has higher fatality rates than most

industries Fatalities and other injuries are due primarily to transportation incidents contact with objects and

equipment and exposure to harmful substances Additionally temporary workers may be at higher risk because of

a lack of training or industry experience Poor health and safety records can result in fines and penalties and an

increase in regulatory compliance costs from more stringent oversight Waste management companies must ensure

that facilities and vehicles are operated with the highest safety standards and that the number of injuries and

accidents is minimized through a strong safety culture Companies that develop proactive safety management

plans and training requirements for their employees and contractors including conducting regular audits are likely

to improve safety records and minimize the chance of safety-related financial repercussions

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Description

Landfill gas (LFG) is a significant anthropogenic contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions because it

contains highly potent methane whose emissions are limited by federal regulations Given its potency federal

regulations limit LFG emissions Many states also mandate monitoring and collection of LFG including California

under its Assembly Bill 32 LFG emissions can be reduced through a variety of control technologies that require

significant capital expenditure LFG-collection-efficiency improvements LFG-control devices and increased

methane oxidization Methane collected through LFG capture systems can be combusted in a flare an engine or a

turbine to dramatically reduce the overall toxicity and potency of raw LFG LFG capture is particularly important for

owners and operators of large landfills that have been the target of regulation LFG emissions pose a regulatory risk

for the industry with potential impacts on operational costs and capital expenditures There is also the potential for

revenue generation through the sale of natural gas and the ability to lower fuel purchases by using processed LFG

to power operations Performance on this issue can affect a companyrsquos ability to secure new permits and renew

existing ones which can have an impact on revenue

calculated in accordance with published 100-year time horizon global warming potential (GWP)

factors To date the preferred source for GWP factors is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate

Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (2013)

bull Gross emissions are GHGs emitted to the atmosphere before accounting for any GHG reduction

activities offsets or other adjustments for activities in the reporting period that have reduced or

compensated for emissions

bull Disclosure corresponds to section CC82 of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Questionnaire

(2015) and REQ-04 of the Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB) Framework for reporting

Sustainable Development (WRIWBCSD) in The Greenhouse Gas Protocol A Corporate Accounting and

Reporting Standard Revised Edition March 2004 (hereafter the ldquoGHG Protocolrdquo)

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 1 2 copy SASB 2016 TM

bull These emissions include direct emissions of GHGs from stationary or mobile sources that include but

are not limited to waste-to-energy landfill gas and transportation (ie marine road or rail)

bull Acceptable calculation methodologies include those that refer to the GHG Protocol as the basic

reference but may provide additional industry or regionally specific guidance where examples include

but are not limited to

India GHG Inventory Programme

ISO 14064-1

bull The registrant may choose to disclose the methodology or methodologies used to collect and

calculate Scope 1 emissions

03 GHG emission data shall be consolidated according to the approach with which the registrant consolidates

its financial reporting data which is generally aligned with

bull The Financial Control approach defined by the GHG Protocol and referenced by the CDP Guidance for

companies reporting on climate change on behalf of investors amp supply chain members 2015

(hereafter the ldquoCDP Guidancerdquo)14

bull The approach detailed in REQ-07 ldquoOrganisational boundaryrdquo of the CDSB Framework (2015)15

04 The registrant shall disclose the percentage of its emissions that are covered under a regulatory program

that is intended to limit or reduce GHG emissions such as the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme

(EU ETS) Quebec Cap-and-Trade (Draft Bill 42 of 2009) California Cap-and-Trade (California Global

Warming Solutions Act) New Source Performance Standards and Emissions Guidelines for Municipal Solid

Waste Landfills or other regulatory programs

bull Regulatory programs include cap-and-trade schemes carbon taxfee systems and other emissions

control (eg command-and-control approach) and permit-based mechanisms

bull Disclosure shall exclude emissions covered under voluntary trading systems and disclosure-based

regulations (eg the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Greenhouse Gas Reporting

Program)

14 ldquoAn organization has financial control over an operation if it has the ability to direct the financial and operating policies of the operation with a view to gaining economic benefits from its activities Generally an organization has financial control over an operation for GHG accounting purposes if the operation is treated as a group company or subsidiary for the purposes of financial consolidationrdquo Guidance for companies reporting on climate change on behalf of investors amp supply chain members 2013 p 95 15 This is based on the requirements of International Accounting StandardsInternational Financial Reporting Standards (IASIFRS) on consolidation and equity accounting and is consistent with how information relating to entities within a group or interest in joint venturesassociates would be included on consolidated financial statements as further detailed in CDSB Proposals for Boundary Setting in Mainstream Reports

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 1 3 copy SASB 2016 TM

05 The registrant shall disclose the percentage of its emissions that are covered under emissions reporting-

based regulations (eg The US EPA Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program)

bull Emissions reporting regulations are defined as regulations that demand the disclosure of data to

authorities andor to the public but for which there is no limit cost target or controls on the

amount of emissions generated

06 The registrant should discuss any change in its emissions from the previous fiscal year such as if the change

was due to emissions reductions divestment acquisition mergers changes in output andor changes in

calculation methodology

07 In the case that current reporting of GHG emissions to the CDP or other entities (eg a national regulatory

disclosure program) differs in terms of the methodology calculation (eg different GWP factors) scope

andor consolidation approach used the registrant may disclose those emissions However primary

disclosure shall be according to the guidelines described above

08 The registrant should discuss the calculation methodology for its emissions disclosure such as if data are from continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS) engineering calculations mass balance calculations etc

09 The registrant should consult the most recent version of each document referenced in this standard at the

time disclosure occurs

IF0201-02 Total landfill gas generated percentage flared percentage used for energy

10 The registrant shall disclose the total amount in millions of British Thermal Units (MMBtu) of landfill gas

generated from its owned or operated facilities where

bull Landfill gas is defined consistent with 40 CFR 986 as gas produced as a result of anaerobic

decomposition of waste materials in the landfill

11 The registrant shall use the calculation methodology in 40 CFR 98340-348 Subpart HH to calculate the

amount of landfill gas generated the percentage flared and the percentage used for energy

12 The registrant shall calculate the percentage of landfill gas that was flared as the total amount in MMBtu

of landfill gas that was flared divided by the total amount of landfill gas generated where

bull Flared landfill gas includes gas that is flared through air injection and is defined consistent with 40

CFR 986 as gas that is combusted through the use of an open flame with combustion air provided

by uncontrolled ambient air around the flame andor air that is blown into the flare to induce

and waste treatment plants are considered air pollution The financial impacts from excessive air emissions vary

depending on the specific location of operations and the prevailing air emissions regulations but they can include

capital expenditures increased operating costs fines and lawsuits from affected communities Human health

impacts and financial consequences of poor air-quality management are likely to be exacerbated by the proximity

of waste management facilities to communities Active management of air pollutants and odorsmdashthrough

technological and process improvementsmdashcan therefore mitigate regulatory exposure and the associated future

costs of compliance from increasingly stringent air-quality regulations help companies secure and maintain

permits and protect their license to operate

Description

Many companies in the Waste Management industry own and operate large vehicle fleets for waste collection and

transfer The fuel consumption of vehicle fleets is a significant industry expense both in terms of operating costs

and associated capital expenditures Fossil fuel consumption can contribute to environmental impacts including

climate change and pollution These environmental impacts have the potential to affect waste management

companies through regulatory exposure and the competitiveness of new contract proposals Hedging fuel

purchases is a common tool used to manage fleet-fuel risks however more and more waste management

companies are upgrading to more fuel-efficient fleets or switching to natural gas vehicles A cleaner-burning fleet

may also be seen as more favorable by communities living near waste management facilities with heavy traffic

industries Fatalities and other injuries are due primarily to transportation incidents contact with objects and

equipment and exposure to harmful substances Additionally temporary workers may be at higher risk because of

a lack of training or industry experience Poor health and safety records can result in fines and penalties and an

increase in regulatory compliance costs from more stringent oversight Waste management companies must ensure

that facilities and vehicles are operated with the highest safety standards and that the number of injuries and

accidents is minimized through a strong safety culture Companies that develop proactive safety management

plans and training requirements for their employees and contractors including conducting regular audits are likely

to improve safety records and minimize the chance of safety-related financial repercussions

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 1 2 copy SASB 2016 TM

bull These emissions include direct emissions of GHGs from stationary or mobile sources that include but

are not limited to waste-to-energy landfill gas and transportation (ie marine road or rail)

bull Acceptable calculation methodologies include those that refer to the GHG Protocol as the basic

reference but may provide additional industry or regionally specific guidance where examples include

but are not limited to

India GHG Inventory Programme

ISO 14064-1

bull The registrant may choose to disclose the methodology or methodologies used to collect and

calculate Scope 1 emissions

03 GHG emission data shall be consolidated according to the approach with which the registrant consolidates

its financial reporting data which is generally aligned with

bull The Financial Control approach defined by the GHG Protocol and referenced by the CDP Guidance for

companies reporting on climate change on behalf of investors amp supply chain members 2015

(hereafter the ldquoCDP Guidancerdquo)14

bull The approach detailed in REQ-07 ldquoOrganisational boundaryrdquo of the CDSB Framework (2015)15

04 The registrant shall disclose the percentage of its emissions that are covered under a regulatory program

that is intended to limit or reduce GHG emissions such as the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme

(EU ETS) Quebec Cap-and-Trade (Draft Bill 42 of 2009) California Cap-and-Trade (California Global

Warming Solutions Act) New Source Performance Standards and Emissions Guidelines for Municipal Solid

Waste Landfills or other regulatory programs

bull Regulatory programs include cap-and-trade schemes carbon taxfee systems and other emissions

control (eg command-and-control approach) and permit-based mechanisms

bull Disclosure shall exclude emissions covered under voluntary trading systems and disclosure-based

regulations (eg the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Greenhouse Gas Reporting

Program)

14 ldquoAn organization has financial control over an operation if it has the ability to direct the financial and operating policies of the operation with a view to gaining economic benefits from its activities Generally an organization has financial control over an operation for GHG accounting purposes if the operation is treated as a group company or subsidiary for the purposes of financial consolidationrdquo Guidance for companies reporting on climate change on behalf of investors amp supply chain members 2013 p 95 15 This is based on the requirements of International Accounting StandardsInternational Financial Reporting Standards (IASIFRS) on consolidation and equity accounting and is consistent with how information relating to entities within a group or interest in joint venturesassociates would be included on consolidated financial statements as further detailed in CDSB Proposals for Boundary Setting in Mainstream Reports

05 The registrant shall disclose the percentage of its emissions that are covered under emissions reporting-

based regulations (eg The US EPA Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program)

bull Emissions reporting regulations are defined as regulations that demand the disclosure of data to

authorities andor to the public but for which there is no limit cost target or controls on the

amount of emissions generated

06 The registrant should discuss any change in its emissions from the previous fiscal year such as if the change

was due to emissions reductions divestment acquisition mergers changes in output andor changes in

calculation methodology

07 In the case that current reporting of GHG emissions to the CDP or other entities (eg a national regulatory

disclosure program) differs in terms of the methodology calculation (eg different GWP factors) scope

andor consolidation approach used the registrant may disclose those emissions However primary

Air Quality

Description

Air pollution is the presence of air contaminants in such quantities and duration that they can be injurious to

humans animals plants or property It also includes contaminants that interfere with enjoyment of life or

property Therefore odors and toxic gases such as those emitted from landfills landfill fires waste incinerators

and waste treatment plants are considered air pollution The financial impacts from excessive air emissions vary

depending on the specific location of operations and the prevailing air emissions regulations but they can include

capital expenditures increased operating costs fines and lawsuits from affected communities Human health

impacts and financial consequences of poor air-quality management are likely to be exacerbated by the proximity

of waste management facilities to communities Active management of air pollutants and odorsmdashthrough

technological and process improvementsmdashcan therefore mitigate regulatory exposure and the associated future

costs of compliance from increasingly stringent air-quality regulations help companies secure and maintain

permits and protect their license to operate

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 1 3 copy SASB 2016 TM

05 The registrant shall disclose the percentage of its emissions that are covered under emissions reporting-

based regulations (eg The US EPA Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program)

bull Emissions reporting regulations are defined as regulations that demand the disclosure of data to

authorities andor to the public but for which there is no limit cost target or controls on the

amount of emissions generated

06 The registrant should discuss any change in its emissions from the previous fiscal year such as if the change

was due to emissions reductions divestment acquisition mergers changes in output andor changes in

calculation methodology

07 In the case that current reporting of GHG emissions to the CDP or other entities (eg a national regulatory

disclosure program) differs in terms of the methodology calculation (eg different GWP factors) scope

andor consolidation approach used the registrant may disclose those emissions However primary

disclosure shall be according to the guidelines described above

08 The registrant should discuss the calculation methodology for its emissions disclosure such as if data are from continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS) engineering calculations mass balance calculations etc

09 The registrant should consult the most recent version of each document referenced in this standard at the

time disclosure occurs

IF0201-02 Total landfill gas generated percentage flared percentage used for energy

10 The registrant shall disclose the total amount in millions of British Thermal Units (MMBtu) of landfill gas

generated from its owned or operated facilities where

bull Landfill gas is defined consistent with 40 CFR 986 as gas produced as a result of anaerobic

decomposition of waste materials in the landfill

11 The registrant shall use the calculation methodology in 40 CFR 98340-348 Subpart HH to calculate the

amount of landfill gas generated the percentage flared and the percentage used for energy

12 The registrant shall calculate the percentage of landfill gas that was flared as the total amount in MMBtu

of landfill gas that was flared divided by the total amount of landfill gas generated where

bull Flared landfill gas includes gas that is flared through air injection and is defined consistent with 40

CFR 986 as gas that is combusted through the use of an open flame with combustion air provided

by uncontrolled ambient air around the flame andor air that is blown into the flare to induce

complete combustion

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 1 4 copy SASB 2016 TM

13 The registrant shall calculate the percentage of landfill gas used for energy as the amount in MMBtu of

landfill gas that was captured and used for energy divided by the total amount of landfill gas generated

where

bull Landfill gas used for energy includes gas that is combusted for use in on-site energy or heat

production conveyed through pipelines for off-site combustion and any other on-site or off-site use

as a fuel

14 In calculating energy generated from landfill gas the registrant shall use higher heating values (HHV) also

known as gross calorific values (GCV) which are directly measured or taken from the US EPArsquos Landfill Gas

Energy A Guide to Developing and Implementing Greenhouse Gas Reduction Programs

IF0201-03 Description of long-term and short-term strategy or plan to manage Scope 1 emissions emission-reduction targets and an analysis of performance against those targets

15 The registrant shall discuss the following where relevant

bull The scope such as whether strategies plans andor reduction targets pertain differently to different

business units geographies or emissions sources

Air Quality

Description

Air pollution is the presence of air contaminants in such quantities and duration that they can be injurious to

humans animals plants or property It also includes contaminants that interfere with enjoyment of life or

property Therefore odors and toxic gases such as those emitted from landfills landfill fires waste incinerators

and waste treatment plants are considered air pollution The financial impacts from excessive air emissions vary

depending on the specific location of operations and the prevailing air emissions regulations but they can include

capital expenditures increased operating costs fines and lawsuits from affected communities Human health

impacts and financial consequences of poor air-quality management are likely to be exacerbated by the proximity

of waste management facilities to communities Active management of air pollutants and odorsmdashthrough

technological and process improvementsmdashcan therefore mitigate regulatory exposure and the associated future

costs of compliance from increasingly stringent air-quality regulations help companies secure and maintain

permits and protect their license to operate

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

13 The registrant shall calculate the percentage of landfill gas used for energy as the amount in MMBtu of

landfill gas that was captured and used for energy divided by the total amount of landfill gas generated

where

bull Landfill gas used for energy includes gas that is combusted for use in on-site energy or heat

production conveyed through pipelines for off-site combustion and any other on-site or off-site use

as a fuel

14 In calculating energy generated from landfill gas the registrant shall use higher heating values (HHV) also

known as gross calorific values (GCV) which are directly measured or taken from the US EPArsquos Landfill Gas

Energy A Guide to Developing and Implementing Greenhouse Gas Reduction Programs

IF0201-03 Description of long-term and short-term strategy or plan to manage Scope 1 emissions emission-reduction targets and an analysis of performance against those targets

15 The registrant shall discuss the following where relevant

bull The scope such as whether strategies plans andor reduction targets pertain differently to different

business units geographies or emissions sources

bull Whether strategies plans andor reduction targets are related to or associated with an emissions

disclosure (reporting) or reduction program (eg EU ETS Quebec Cap-and-Trade (Draft Bill 42 of

2009) California Cap-and-Trade (California Global Warming Solutions Act) etc) including regional

national international or sectoral programs and

bull The activities and investments required to achieve the plans and any risks or limiting factors that

might affect achievement of the plans andor targets

16 For emission-reduction targets the registrant shall disclose

bull The percentage of emissions within the scope of the reduction plan

bull The percentage reduction from the base year

The base year is the first year against which emissions are evaluated toward the achievement of

the target

bull Whether the target is absolute or intensity based and the metric denominator if it is an intensity-

based target

bull The timelines for the reduction activity including the start year the target year and the base year

Disclosure shall be limited to activities that were ongoing (active) or reached completion during the

fiscal year and

bull The mechanism(s) for achieving the target such as landfill gas flaring landfill gas-to-energy projects

vehicle efficiency measures andor programs etc Where necessary the registrant shall discuss any

circumstances in which the target base year emissions have been or may be recalculated

retrospectively or where the target base year has been reset

Air Quality

Description

Air pollution is the presence of air contaminants in such quantities and duration that they can be injurious to

humans animals plants or property It also includes contaminants that interfere with enjoyment of life or

property Therefore odors and toxic gases such as those emitted from landfills landfill fires waste incinerators

and waste treatment plants are considered air pollution The financial impacts from excessive air emissions vary

depending on the specific location of operations and the prevailing air emissions regulations but they can include

capital expenditures increased operating costs fines and lawsuits from affected communities Human health

impacts and financial consequences of poor air-quality management are likely to be exacerbated by the proximity

of waste management facilities to communities Active management of air pollutants and odorsmdashthrough

technological and process improvementsmdashcan therefore mitigate regulatory exposure and the associated future

costs of compliance from increasingly stringent air-quality regulations help companies secure and maintain

permits and protect their license to operate

Description

Many companies in the Waste Management industry own and operate large vehicle fleets for waste collection and

transfer The fuel consumption of vehicle fleets is a significant industry expense both in terms of operating costs

and associated capital expenditures Fossil fuel consumption can contribute to environmental impacts including

climate change and pollution These environmental impacts have the potential to affect waste management

companies through regulatory exposure and the competitiveness of new contract proposals Hedging fuel

purchases is a common tool used to manage fleet-fuel risks however more and more waste management

companies are upgrading to more fuel-efficient fleets or switching to natural gas vehicles A cleaner-burning fleet

may also be seen as more favorable by communities living near waste management facilities with heavy traffic

equipment and exposure to harmful substances Additionally temporary workers may be at higher risk because of

a lack of training or industry experience Poor health and safety records can result in fines and penalties and an

increase in regulatory compliance costs from more stringent oversight Waste management companies must ensure

that facilities and vehicles are operated with the highest safety standards and that the number of injuries and

accidents is minimized through a strong safety culture Companies that develop proactive safety management

plans and training requirements for their employees and contractors including conducting regular audits are likely

to improve safety records and minimize the chance of safety-related financial repercussions

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

Air Quality

Description

Air pollution is the presence of air contaminants in such quantities and duration that they can be injurious to

humans animals plants or property It also includes contaminants that interfere with enjoyment of life or

property Therefore odors and toxic gases such as those emitted from landfills landfill fires waste incinerators

and waste treatment plants are considered air pollution The financial impacts from excessive air emissions vary

depending on the specific location of operations and the prevailing air emissions regulations but they can include

capital expenditures increased operating costs fines and lawsuits from affected communities Human health

impacts and financial consequences of poor air-quality management are likely to be exacerbated by the proximity

of waste management facilities to communities Active management of air pollutants and odorsmdashthrough

technological and process improvementsmdashcan therefore mitigate regulatory exposure and the associated future

costs of compliance from increasingly stringent air-quality regulations help companies secure and maintain

permits and protect their license to operate

Accounting Metrics

IF0201-04 Air emissions of the following pollutants NOx (excluding N2O) SOx non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs)

19 The registrant shall disclose its emissions of air pollutants (in metric tons) that are released to the

atmosphere as a result of its activities including

bull Direct air emissions from point and non-point sources that include but are not limited to

decomposition of organic material combustion of waste and transportation (ie marine road or

rail)

20 The registrant shall disclose emissions released to the atmosphere by emissions type Substances include

bull Oxides of nitrogen (including NO and NO2 and excluding N2O) reported as NOx

bull Oxides of sulfur (SO2 and SO3) reported as SOx

bull Non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) defined as any compound of carbon excluding

carbon monoxide carbon dioxide carbonic acid metallic carbides or carbonates ammonium

carbonate and methane that participates in atmospheric photochemical reactions except those

designated by the US EPA as having negligible photochemical reactivity

Where regional and national definitions supersede EPA regulations such as EC Directive

199913EC and Schedule 1 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act 1999 the registrant

may refer to the relevant regulations on NMVOCs

bull Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) are defined by the EPA as those pollutants that are known or

suspected to cause cancer or other serious health effects such as reproductive effects birth defects

or adverse environmental effects and are listed here

21 This scope does not include CO2 CH4 and N2O which are disclosed in IF0201-01 as Scope 1 GHG

emissions

22 Air emissions data shall be consolidated according to the approach with which the registrant consolidates its

financial reporting data which is aligned with the consolidation approach used for IF0201-01

Fleet Fuel Management

Description

Many companies in the Waste Management industry own and operate large vehicle fleets for waste collection and

transfer The fuel consumption of vehicle fleets is a significant industry expense both in terms of operating costs

and associated capital expenditures Fossil fuel consumption can contribute to environmental impacts including

climate change and pollution These environmental impacts have the potential to affect waste management

companies through regulatory exposure and the competitiveness of new contract proposals Hedging fuel

purchases is a common tool used to manage fleet-fuel risks however more and more waste management

companies are upgrading to more fuel-efficient fleets or switching to natural gas vehicles A cleaner-burning fleet

may also be seen as more favorable by communities living near waste management facilities with heavy traffic

accidents can have a great impact on workers The Waste Management industry has higher fatality rates than most

industries Fatalities and other injuries are due primarily to transportation incidents contact with objects and

equipment and exposure to harmful substances Additionally temporary workers may be at higher risk because of

a lack of training or industry experience Poor health and safety records can result in fines and penalties and an

increase in regulatory compliance costs from more stringent oversight Waste management companies must ensure

that facilities and vehicles are operated with the highest safety standards and that the number of injuries and

accidents is minimized through a strong safety culture Companies that develop proactive safety management

plans and training requirements for their employees and contractors including conducting regular audits are likely

to improve safety records and minimize the chance of safety-related financial repercussions

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

Air Quality

Description

Air pollution is the presence of air contaminants in such quantities and duration that they can be injurious to

humans animals plants or property It also includes contaminants that interfere with enjoyment of life or

property Therefore odors and toxic gases such as those emitted from landfills landfill fires waste incinerators

and waste treatment plants are considered air pollution The financial impacts from excessive air emissions vary

depending on the specific location of operations and the prevailing air emissions regulations but they can include

capital expenditures increased operating costs fines and lawsuits from affected communities Human health

impacts and financial consequences of poor air-quality management are likely to be exacerbated by the proximity

of waste management facilities to communities Active management of air pollutants and odorsmdashthrough

technological and process improvementsmdashcan therefore mitigate regulatory exposure and the associated future

costs of compliance from increasingly stringent air-quality regulations help companies secure and maintain

permits and protect their license to operate

Fleet Fuel Management

Description

Many companies in the Waste Management industry own and operate large vehicle fleets for waste collection and

transfer The fuel consumption of vehicle fleets is a significant industry expense both in terms of operating costs

and associated capital expenditures Fossil fuel consumption can contribute to environmental impacts including

climate change and pollution These environmental impacts have the potential to affect waste management

companies through regulatory exposure and the competitiveness of new contract proposals Hedging fuel

purchases is a common tool used to manage fleet-fuel risks however more and more waste management

companies are upgrading to more fuel-efficient fleets or switching to natural gas vehicles A cleaner-burning fleet

may also be seen as more favorable by communities living near waste management facilities with heavy traffic

Accounting Metrics

IF0201-07 Fleet fuel consumed percentage renewable

32 The registrant shall disclose total fuel consumption by fleet vehicles as an aggregate figure in gigajoules or

their multiples

bull The scope includes fuel consumed by vehicles owned or operated by the registrant

33 Fuel consumption shall be based on actual fuel consumed (ie not based on design parameters)

34 Acceptable methods for calculating fuel consumption include adding fuel purchases landfill gas and fuel

generation during the year to beginning inventory at the start of the year less any fuel inventory at the end

of the year or tracking fuel consumption by vehicle or through expense reports

35 The registrant shall disclose renewable fuel consumption as a percentage of its total fuel consumption

bull Renewable fuel is defined consistent with the EPArsquos Renewable Fuel Standard (40 CFR Section

801401) as a fuel that meets the following requirements

Management of Leachate amp Hazardous Waste

Description

Companies operating landfills are required to manage and reduce risks of potential ecological impacts including

those caused by leachate and hazardous waste Poor management of landfills and other disposal sites can lead to

contamination of the soil groundwater and other nearby water bodies To mitigate risks to the environment and

the health of local communities companies must effectively contain and manage leachate as well as hazardous

waste Companies that are unable to manage these risks are likely to receive regulatory penalties lose brand value

worsen future business prospects and face lawsuits

Workforce Health amp Safety

Description

The industryrsquos hazardous working conditions mean that safety is critical to waste management operations and

accidents can have a great impact on workers The Waste Management industry has higher fatality rates than most

industries Fatalities and other injuries are due primarily to transportation incidents contact with objects and

equipment and exposure to harmful substances Additionally temporary workers may be at higher risk because of

a lack of training or industry experience Poor health and safety records can result in fines and penalties and an

increase in regulatory compliance costs from more stringent oversight Waste management companies must ensure

that facilities and vehicles are operated with the highest safety standards and that the number of injuries and

accidents is minimized through a strong safety culture Companies that develop proactive safety management

plans and training requirements for their employees and contractors including conducting regular audits are likely

to improve safety records and minimize the chance of safety-related financial repercussions

Labor Relations

Description

Organized labor plays an important role in the Waste Management industry Many workers are covered under

collective bargaining agreements that protect workersrsquo rights and establish wages High unionization rates leave

waste management companies vulnerable to shutdowns and delays due to worker strikes if labor concerns are not

addressed effectively Proper management of and communication around issues such as worker pay and working

conditions can prevent conflicts with workers that could lead to extended strikes which can slow or shut down

operations and create reputational risk Waste management companies need a long-term perspective on managing

workers including their pay and benefits in a way that protects workersrsquo rights and enhances their productivity

while ensuring the financial sustainability of a companyrsquos operations

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

Fleet Fuel Management

Description

Many companies in the Waste Management industry own and operate large vehicle fleets for waste collection and

transfer The fuel consumption of vehicle fleets is a significant industry expense both in terms of operating costs

and associated capital expenditures Fossil fuel consumption can contribute to environmental impacts including

climate change and pollution These environmental impacts have the potential to affect waste management

companies through regulatory exposure and the competitiveness of new contract proposals Hedging fuel

purchases is a common tool used to manage fleet-fuel risks however more and more waste management

companies are upgrading to more fuel-efficient fleets or switching to natural gas vehicles A cleaner-burning fleet

may also be seen as more favorable by communities living near waste management facilities with heavy traffic

Accounting Metrics

Management of Leachate amp Hazardous Waste

Description

Companies operating landfills are required to manage and reduce risks of potential ecological impacts including

those caused by leachate and hazardous waste Poor management of landfills and other disposal sites can lead to

contamination of the soil groundwater and other nearby water bodies To mitigate risks to the environment and

the health of local communities companies must effectively contain and manage leachate as well as hazardous

waste Companies that are unable to manage these risks are likely to receive regulatory penalties lose brand value

worsen future business prospects and face lawsuits

Workforce Health amp Safety

Description

The industryrsquos hazardous working conditions mean that safety is critical to waste management operations and

accidents can have a great impact on workers The Waste Management industry has higher fatality rates than most

industries Fatalities and other injuries are due primarily to transportation incidents contact with objects and

equipment and exposure to harmful substances Additionally temporary workers may be at higher risk because of

a lack of training or industry experience Poor health and safety records can result in fines and penalties and an

increase in regulatory compliance costs from more stringent oversight Waste management companies must ensure

that facilities and vehicles are operated with the highest safety standards and that the number of injuries and

accidents is minimized through a strong safety culture Companies that develop proactive safety management

plans and training requirements for their employees and contractors including conducting regular audits are likely

to improve safety records and minimize the chance of safety-related financial repercussions

Labor Relations

Description

Organized labor plays an important role in the Waste Management industry Many workers are covered under

collective bargaining agreements that protect workersrsquo rights and establish wages High unionization rates leave

waste management companies vulnerable to shutdowns and delays due to worker strikes if labor concerns are not

addressed effectively Proper management of and communication around issues such as worker pay and working

conditions can prevent conflicts with workers that could lead to extended strikes which can slow or shut down

operations and create reputational risk Waste management companies need a long-term perspective on managing

workers including their pay and benefits in a way that protects workersrsquo rights and enhances their productivity

while ensuring the financial sustainability of a companyrsquos operations

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

Fleet Fuel Management

Description

Many companies in the Waste Management industry own and operate large vehicle fleets for waste collection and

transfer The fuel consumption of vehicle fleets is a significant industry expense both in terms of operating costs

and associated capital expenditures Fossil fuel consumption can contribute to environmental impacts including

climate change and pollution These environmental impacts have the potential to affect waste management

companies through regulatory exposure and the competitiveness of new contract proposals Hedging fuel

purchases is a common tool used to manage fleet-fuel risks however more and more waste management

companies are upgrading to more fuel-efficient fleets or switching to natural gas vehicles A cleaner-burning fleet

may also be seen as more favorable by communities living near waste management facilities with heavy traffic

accidents can have a great impact on workers The Waste Management industry has higher fatality rates than most

industries Fatalities and other injuries are due primarily to transportation incidents contact with objects and

equipment and exposure to harmful substances Additionally temporary workers may be at higher risk because of

a lack of training or industry experience Poor health and safety records can result in fines and penalties and an

increase in regulatory compliance costs from more stringent oversight Waste management companies must ensure

that facilities and vehicles are operated with the highest safety standards and that the number of injuries and

accidents is minimized through a strong safety culture Companies that develop proactive safety management

plans and training requirements for their employees and contractors including conducting regular audits are likely

to improve safety records and minimize the chance of safety-related financial repercussions

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

Fleet Fuel Management

Description

Many companies in the Waste Management industry own and operate large vehicle fleets for waste collection and

transfer The fuel consumption of vehicle fleets is a significant industry expense both in terms of operating costs

and associated capital expenditures Fossil fuel consumption can contribute to environmental impacts including

climate change and pollution These environmental impacts have the potential to affect waste management

companies through regulatory exposure and the competitiveness of new contract proposals Hedging fuel

purchases is a common tool used to manage fleet-fuel risks however more and more waste management

companies are upgrading to more fuel-efficient fleets or switching to natural gas vehicles A cleaner-burning fleet

may also be seen as more favorable by communities living near waste management facilities with heavy traffic

Accounting Metrics

IF0201-07 Fleet fuel consumed percentage renewable

32 The registrant shall disclose total fuel consumption by fleet vehicles as an aggregate figure in gigajoules or

their multiples

bull The scope includes fuel consumed by vehicles owned or operated by the registrant

33 Fuel consumption shall be based on actual fuel consumed (ie not based on design parameters)

34 Acceptable methods for calculating fuel consumption include adding fuel purchases landfill gas and fuel

generation during the year to beginning inventory at the start of the year less any fuel inventory at the end

of the year or tracking fuel consumption by vehicle or through expense reports

35 The registrant shall disclose renewable fuel consumption as a percentage of its total fuel consumption

bull Renewable fuel is defined consistent with the EPArsquos Renewable Fuel Standard (40 CFR Section

801401) as a fuel that meets the following requirements

Fuel that is produced from renewable biomass

Fuel that is used to replace or reduce the quantity of fossil fuel present in a transportation fuel

heating oil or jet fuel

Fuel that has lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that are at least 20 percent less than

baseline lifecycle GHG emissions unless the fuel is exempt from this requirement pursuant to sect

801403

bull Fuels that qualify for Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) under the EPA Renewable Fuel

Standard are included in the scope of renewable energy

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 2 0 copy SASB 2016 TM

36 In calculating energy consumption from fuels and biofuels the registrant shall use higher heating values

(HHV) also known as gross calorific values (GCV) which are directly measured or taken from the IPCC the

US DOE or the US EIA

37 The registrant shall apply conversion factors consistently for all data reported under this disclosure such as

the use of HHVs for fuel usage (including biofuels)

IF0201-08 Percentage of alternative energy vehicles in fleet

38 Alternative energy vehicles are defined by the Energy Policy Act and Natural Defense Authorization Act of

2008 as vehicles powered by biodiesel denatured alcohol electricity hydrogen methanol mixtures

containing up to 85 percent methanol or denatured ethanol natural gas and propane (liquefied petroleum

gas) Alternative energy vehicles also include any vehicle achieving a significant reduction in petroleum

consumption advanced lean burn technology vehicles fuel cell vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles

39 The registrant shall disclose the percentage as the number of alternative energy vehicles in its fleet divided

by the total number of vehicles in its fleet

Companies operating landfills are required to manage and reduce risks of potential ecological impacts including

those caused by leachate and hazardous waste Poor management of landfills and other disposal sites can lead to

contamination of the soil groundwater and other nearby water bodies To mitigate risks to the environment and

the health of local communities companies must effectively contain and manage leachate as well as hazardous

waste Companies that are unable to manage these risks are likely to receive regulatory penalties lose brand value

worsen future business prospects and face lawsuits

Workforce Health amp Safety

Description

The industryrsquos hazardous working conditions mean that safety is critical to waste management operations and

accidents can have a great impact on workers The Waste Management industry has higher fatality rates than most

industries Fatalities and other injuries are due primarily to transportation incidents contact with objects and

equipment and exposure to harmful substances Additionally temporary workers may be at higher risk because of

a lack of training or industry experience Poor health and safety records can result in fines and penalties and an

increase in regulatory compliance costs from more stringent oversight Waste management companies must ensure

that facilities and vehicles are operated with the highest safety standards and that the number of injuries and

accidents is minimized through a strong safety culture Companies that develop proactive safety management

plans and training requirements for their employees and contractors including conducting regular audits are likely

to improve safety records and minimize the chance of safety-related financial repercussions

Organized labor plays an important role in the Waste Management industry Many workers are covered under

collective bargaining agreements that protect workersrsquo rights and establish wages High unionization rates leave

waste management companies vulnerable to shutdowns and delays due to worker strikes if labor concerns are not

addressed effectively Proper management of and communication around issues such as worker pay and working

conditions can prevent conflicts with workers that could lead to extended strikes which can slow or shut down

operations and create reputational risk Waste management companies need a long-term perspective on managing

workers including their pay and benefits in a way that protects workersrsquo rights and enhances their productivity

while ensuring the financial sustainability of a companyrsquos operations

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

Workforce Health amp Safety

Description

The industryrsquos hazardous working conditions mean that safety is critical to waste management operations and

accidents can have a great impact on workers The Waste Management industry has higher fatality rates than most

industries Fatalities and other injuries are due primarily to transportation incidents contact with objects and

equipment and exposure to harmful substances Additionally temporary workers may be at higher risk because of

a lack of training or industry experience Poor health and safety records can result in fines and penalties and an

increase in regulatory compliance costs from more stringent oversight Waste management companies must ensure

that facilities and vehicles are operated with the highest safety standards and that the number of injuries and

accidents is minimized through a strong safety culture Companies that develop proactive safety management

plans and training requirements for their employees and contractors including conducting regular audits are likely

to improve safety records and minimize the chance of safety-related financial repercussions

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

72 The registrant shall calculate the percentage of waste incinerated that was used for energy recovery as the

total amount in metric tons of waste incinerated for energy recovery at its owned or operated facilities

divided by the total amount of waste incinerated where

bull Energy recovery is defined consistent with 40 CFR 60 as the process of recovering thermal energy

from combustion for useful purposes including but not limited to steam generation or process

heating

73 For the purpose of this disclosure waste incinerated for energy recovery shall include recovery from both

solid and hazardous wastes

Management of Leachate amp Hazardous Waste

Description

Companies operating landfills are required to manage and reduce risks of potential ecological impacts including

those caused by leachate and hazardous waste Poor management of landfills and other disposal sites can lead to

contamination of the soil groundwater and other nearby water bodies To mitigate risks to the environment and

the health of local communities companies must effectively contain and manage leachate as well as hazardous

waste Companies that are unable to manage these risks are likely to receive regulatory penalties lose brand value

worsen future business prospects and face lawsuits

Workforce Health amp Safety

Description

The industryrsquos hazardous working conditions mean that safety is critical to waste management operations and

accidents can have a great impact on workers The Waste Management industry has higher fatality rates than most

industries Fatalities and other injuries are due primarily to transportation incidents contact with objects and

equipment and exposure to harmful substances Additionally temporary workers may be at higher risk because of

a lack of training or industry experience Poor health and safety records can result in fines and penalties and an

increase in regulatory compliance costs from more stringent oversight Waste management companies must ensure

that facilities and vehicles are operated with the highest safety standards and that the number of injuries and

accidents is minimized through a strong safety culture Companies that develop proactive safety management

plans and training requirements for their employees and contractors including conducting regular audits are likely

to improve safety records and minimize the chance of safety-related financial repercussions

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

Description

The industryrsquos hazardous working conditions mean that safety is critical to waste management operations and

accidents can have a great impact on workers The Waste Management industry has higher fatality rates than most

industries Fatalities and other injuries are due primarily to transportation incidents contact with objects and

equipment and exposure to harmful substances Additionally temporary workers may be at higher risk because of

a lack of training or industry experience Poor health and safety records can result in fines and penalties and an

increase in regulatory compliance costs from more stringent oversight Waste management companies must ensure

that facilities and vehicles are operated with the highest safety standards and that the number of injuries and

accidents is minimized through a strong safety culture Companies that develop proactive safety management

plans and training requirements for their employees and contractors including conducting regular audits are likely

to improve safety records and minimize the chance of safety-related financial repercussions

Accounting Metrics

IF0201-12 (1) Total recordable injury rate (TRIR) (2) fatality rate and (3) near frequency rate (NMFR) for (a) direct employees and (b) contract employees

53 Registrants whose workforce is entirely US-based shall disclose their total recordable injury rate (TRIR) and

Labor Relations

Description

Organized labor plays an important role in the Waste Management industry Many workers are covered under

collective bargaining agreements that protect workersrsquo rights and establish wages High unionization rates leave

waste management companies vulnerable to shutdowns and delays due to worker strikes if labor concerns are not

addressed effectively Proper management of and communication around issues such as worker pay and working

conditions can prevent conflicts with workers that could lead to extended strikes which can slow or shut down

operations and create reputational risk Waste management companies need a long-term perspective on managing

workers including their pay and benefits in a way that protects workersrsquo rights and enhances their productivity

while ensuring the financial sustainability of a companyrsquos operations

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

Workforce Health amp Safety

Description

The industryrsquos hazardous working conditions mean that safety is critical to waste management operations and

accidents can have a great impact on workers The Waste Management industry has higher fatality rates than most

industries Fatalities and other injuries are due primarily to transportation incidents contact with objects and

equipment and exposure to harmful substances Additionally temporary workers may be at higher risk because of

a lack of training or industry experience Poor health and safety records can result in fines and penalties and an

increase in regulatory compliance costs from more stringent oversight Waste management companies must ensure

that facilities and vehicles are operated with the highest safety standards and that the number of injuries and

accidents is minimized through a strong safety culture Companies that develop proactive safety management

plans and training requirements for their employees and contractors including conducting regular audits are likely

to improve safety records and minimize the chance of safety-related financial repercussions

Description

Organized labor plays an important role in the Waste Management industry Many workers are covered under

collective bargaining agreements that protect workersrsquo rights and establish wages High unionization rates leave

waste management companies vulnerable to shutdowns and delays due to worker strikes if labor concerns are not

addressed effectively Proper management of and communication around issues such as worker pay and working

conditions can prevent conflicts with workers that could lead to extended strikes which can slow or shut down

operations and create reputational risk Waste management companies need a long-term perspective on managing

workers including their pay and benefits in a way that protects workersrsquo rights and enhances their productivity

while ensuring the financial sustainability of a companyrsquos operations

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

Labor Relations

Description

Organized labor plays an important role in the Waste Management industry Many workers are covered under

collective bargaining agreements that protect workersrsquo rights and establish wages High unionization rates leave

waste management companies vulnerable to shutdowns and delays due to worker strikes if labor concerns are not

addressed effectively Proper management of and communication around issues such as worker pay and working

conditions can prevent conflicts with workers that could lead to extended strikes which can slow or shut down

operations and create reputational risk Waste management companies need a long-term perspective on managing

workers including their pay and benefits in a way that protects workersrsquo rights and enhances their productivity

while ensuring the financial sustainability of a companyrsquos operations

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

Labor Relations

Description

Organized labor plays an important role in the Waste Management industry Many workers are covered under

collective bargaining agreements that protect workersrsquo rights and establish wages High unionization rates leave

waste management companies vulnerable to shutdowns and delays due to worker strikes if labor concerns are not

addressed effectively Proper management of and communication around issues such as worker pay and working

conditions can prevent conflicts with workers that could lead to extended strikes which can slow or shut down

operations and create reputational risk Waste management companies need a long-term perspective on managing

workers including their pay and benefits in a way that protects workersrsquo rights and enhances their productivity

while ensuring the financial sustainability of a companyrsquos operations

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

Labor Relations

Description

Organized labor plays an important role in the Waste Management industry Many workers are covered under

collective bargaining agreements that protect workersrsquo rights and establish wages High unionization rates leave

waste management companies vulnerable to shutdowns and delays due to worker strikes if labor concerns are not

addressed effectively Proper management of and communication around issues such as worker pay and working

conditions can prevent conflicts with workers that could lead to extended strikes which can slow or shut down

operations and create reputational risk Waste management companies need a long-term perspective on managing

workers including their pay and benefits in a way that protects workersrsquo rights and enhances their productivity

while ensuring the financial sustainability of a companyrsquos operations

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

Recycling amp Resource Recovery

Description

Recycling reuse composting and incineration are general methods of diverting waste from landfills Landfill

diversion can mitigate some of the environmental impacts of landfills and reduce the need for landfill expansion

Additionally waste management companies play a critical role in the circular economy by separating and

recovering reusable materials such as paper glass metal organic materials and electronic waste Pressures from

new regulations customer demand and the increasing costs of extracting virgin materials are initiating the move

toward a circular economy As a result waste management companies are facing a decrease in the amount of

landfilled waste and an expanding recycling market Cradle-to-cradle approaches initiated by other industries in the

economy have the potential to break down if the recovery and recycling infrastructure or its technologies do not

exist Companies that provide recycling and other resource recovery services will be better able to address changing

consumer needs thereby positioning themselves for revenue growth while playing a critical role in reducing the

environmental impact of the wider economy

Accounting Metrics

IF0201-17 Amount of waste incinerated percentage hazardous percentage used for energy recovery

70 The registrant shall disclose the amount in metric tons of waste incinerated at its owned or operated

facilities where

bull Incineration is defined consistent with 40 CFR 240 as the controlled process in which combustible

solid liquid or gaseous wastes are burned and changed into noncombustible gases

bull Waste includes both solid waste as defined by 40 CFR 2612 and hazardous waste as defined by 40

CFR 2613

71 The registrant shall calculate the percentage of hazardous waste incinerated as the total amount in metric

tons of hazardous waste that was incinerated divided by the total amount of waste incinerated

72 The registrant shall calculate the percentage of waste incinerated that was used for energy recovery as the

total amount in metric tons of waste incinerated for energy recovery at its owned or operated facilities

divided by the total amount of waste incinerated where

bull Energy recovery is defined consistent with 40 CFR 60 as the process of recovering thermal energy

from combustion for useful purposes including but not limited to steam generation or process

heating

73 For the purpose of this disclosure waste incinerated for energy recovery shall include recovery from both

solid and hazardous wastes

74 The registrant should disclose the technologies (eg mass burn facilities modular systems refuse-derived

fuel systems etc) and practices employed in the incineration of waste

SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING STANDARD | W A S T E M A N A G E M E N T | 2 8 copy SASB 2016 TM

IF0201-18 Percentage of customers receiving (1) recycling and (2) composting services by customer type

75 The registrant shall disclose the percentage of its customers by customer category that receive recycling or

composting services where customer categories include

bull Municipal

bull Commercial

bull Industrial

bull Residential where scope of ldquoresidentialrdquo shall only include those residential customers that have

direct contracts with the registrant For the purposes of this disclosure residential customers serviced

through contracts with a municipality shall be considered in the ldquomunicipalrdquo category

bull All other customers

76 Recycling programs are considered to be those operations whereby the registrant collects transports or

otherwise partakes in the process of recycling materials where

bull The process of recycling includes that of solid and hazardous materials

bull The recycling of solid materials consistent with the definition provided in 40 CFR 2612 results in

materials that are

Used or reused as ingredients in an industrial process to make a product provided the materials

are not being reclaimed
