The post-Kyoto route selected in Copenhagen to tackle climate change
will impact strategic business decisions for key Nordic industries
Executive summary
Negotiations on actions against climate change will be finalized in Copenhagen

• International negotiations will take place in Copenhagen in December with the goal to decide on a global agenda for handling of climate change
• The negotiations should been seen in a larger context of global negotiations on trade, financial regulation and environment
• Substantial political capital has been invested in the negotiations, few can thus afford to leave the negotiations without an agreement

We see three possible scenarios from the negotiations

• We see three principal agreement scenarios, each signified by the ambition for emission reduction, ranging from +2 to +6 degrees increase in
globlal mean temperature
• While many aspects of climate change will be on the table, setting emission reduction targets and agreeing on financing are the most high-
profile and challenging questions

Key Nordic industries will be impacted by the negotiation outcome

Each company needs to form its appropriate response
• Ambitious targets for reduction of carbon emissions will drive decarbonization of the most CO2 intense industries, while other industries are
impacted indirectly
• Each industry/company has its own challenges and possibilities of avoiding emissions or passing on carbon costs to customers– thus each
industry has a unique response to climate change negotiations
• This study gives general recommendations on responses in several industries

While the palette of responses to climate change is similar to most
industries, focus differs significantly between them

important important general area of responses should be viewed in the light of what each area
mean for each industry – i.e. supply chain has different meanings per industry


Conference of Parties 15 is a UN conference in Copenhagen in
December to set the international path for handling climate change
Background to the United Nations Climate Change Conference

COP is a conference where UN members meet to …with the goal of stabilizing the amount of greenhouse
discuss climate change… gases to reduce climate changes

United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC) is an environmental treaty : Five essential issues will be on the agenda for COP 15:
• UNFCCC has been ratified by 192 countries since its creation • Agreement on how to handle climate change from 2012 when
the Kyoto protocol comes to an end
in 1992
• A Conference of the Parties (COP) is held yearly to discuss • Ambitious emission reduction targets for industrialized
countries and efforts by developing countries to limit the
implementation of convention‟s goals growth of their emissions
• The 15th Conference of the Parties; the COP 15, will be held in • Stable, significant predictable financing for adaptation and
Copenhagen 7-8 Dec 2009 mitigation of climate change
• Officials from all member countries as well as many • Industrialized countries support to developing countries in
organizations will attend adaption and technology for mitigation
• Overall principle of global cooperation for handling climate • Setting an equitable and efficient governance structure to
monitor and oversee implementation
change is common but differentiated principles

The negotiations is to be seen in a larger context of global cooperation on trade, financial regulation and environment - where
developing countries play an increasingly important role

We see three general scenarios for the Copenhagen negotiations, each
with distinct effect on the Nordic business environment
Summary of agreement scenarios Indicative Co2 price

Scenario parameters (e.g. increased price of carbon emissions) will effect important macroeconomic factors

• Increasing price of CO2 emission will lead to increase in price of primary produce (e.g. energy) and secondary produce (e.g.
aluminum and steel which are produced using signficiant amounts of energy)‟
• Use of market based mechanism for pricing of emissions might lead to increase in emission price volatility, which make investment
decisions thougher to firms and reduce rate of investment in green technologies
• Increased developing world financing by developed countries to support mitigation and adaptation to climate change might increase
funding needed by developed world governments, leading to increase costs of doing business


Depending on scenario, important economic factors, such as
prices of energy, carbon and raw-material will be influenced

Industrial equipment manufacturers are less sensitive to Ind. equip

the outcome in Copenhagen, but must respond to Example

increased emphasis on CO2 emissions
Similar strategic response for the industry applies to all COP 15 outcome scenarios but with different emphasis

1 The industrial equipment industry must adapt and develop product portfolios

Higher cost of CO2 emissions will lead to customers demanding CO2-efficient products
• Manage product portfolio as to understand all aspects and influences of sustainability
• Reduce life-time CO2 emissions of current products and invest in alliances to develop low CO 2 products
• Invest in products for markets dependent on high emission prices, such as renewable power production

2 The industrial equipment industry should reduce it’s own CO2 emissions from operations

The cost of energy and CO2 emission will increase driving need for partial industry de-carbonization
• Implement energy saving processes in facilities, such as selecting Smart Buildings and Green IT
• Utilize travel management and telepresence to reduce emissions from operations
• Review energy use from lighting, cooling, heating etc.

3 The industrial equipment industry should integrate sustainability in supply chain optimization

As energy and emission costs rise supply chain optimization will become even more important

• Optimize production to reduce cost of CO2 emissions in manufacturing
• Optimize supply chain networks to reduce costs and emissions
• Emphasize value engineering to reduce product life-time environmental footprint and enhance value


Value engineering enhances value and reduces supply Ind. equip

Value Engineering

Old design with complex assembly New, cheaper, design with same functionality


Retail

COP 15 will indirectly impact the retail industry by Example

increased energy cost and a shift in consumer behavior
Similar strategic response applies to all scenarios but with different emphasis

1 Retail companies should establish green credibility with consumers

Consumers are getting increasingly climate conscious and their preferences are shifting accordingly
• Ensure green position is coherent to brand position through effective category management processes
• Capture green market opportunities by selecting green products
• Increase product traceability by using consumer labeling / carbon labels
• Implement green store concept by introducing/enhancing green offerings and services

2 Retail companies should reduce energy consumption to minimize cost

The primary driver for energy reduction is that the price of energy will increase due to a higher cost of CO 2 emissions
• Review internal processes for energy efficiency
• Optimize use of electricity, water etc in stores and warehouses to reduce cost

3 Retail companies should optimize supply chain to minimize cost and CO2 emissions

Higher cost for CO2 emissions will increase transportation cost
• Review sourcing model according to sustainability impacts
• Optimize distribution network to reduce total vehicle mile and to use more rail


Retail

Typical green consumer groups can be identified Example

covering almost 60% of consumers

Three consumer groups representing over 60 % of consumers frequently buy society friendly products*

• Consumers in the lifestyle group (LOHAS Lifestyle of Health
17%
16% Lifestyle and Sustainability) are searching for a ”green” lifestyle where
Unconcerned
Lifestyle personal and global health have the highest priority

• Consumers in the naturalist group are also searching for
17%
Naturalist ”green” products, but the personal attributes of the
26% Naturalist
products go first
Conservative

• Consumers in the drifters group have good intentions but it
24% Drifters is translated into a mixed behaviour since it is a price
Drifters sensitive group

• The study is based on American consumers, but given Swedes environmental awareness similar behaviour can be assumed
• In a similar study by IRI (also with American consumers) it was discovered that these groups on average use 15 % of their disposable
income to buy products with a connection to these attributes.
• This coheres with the environmental friendly consumer trend which have gone from niche to eco-chic to eco-iconic i.e. it is becoming cool
to be aware when shopping

EHT

COP 15 will indirectly impact the EHT industry by a rising Example

request for energy efficient products and systems

1 EHT companies should provide products for system wide CO2 reduction

Products that enable CO2 emission reductions and cost reductions will be needed to reach emission targets
• The EHT industry should invest in production of goods that enable CO2 reduction for businesses and society
• There are five major areas for EHT companies to invest in; Smart grid, Smart logistics, Dematerialization, Smart cities and Smart
manufacturing

2 EHT companies should provide products with low energy requirements

The demand for energy efficient products will rise due to a higher energy cost
• The EHT industry should focus on producing products that are energy efficient

3 EHT companies should streamline supply chain for low cost and emissions

As energy and emission costs rise supply chain optimization will become even more important
• Optimize energy use in operations (lighting, heating, cooling, waste management etc)
• Review all aspects of the supply chain (route optimization, distribution networks etc)


EHT
Scenario
EHT companies should provide products to enable independent
system wide CO2 reduction Example

Investment in five key EHT areas gives a potential 2,4% CO2
EU emission reduction of 113 Mt annually
emissions reduction in EU-25 by 2020*

Possible CO2 emission reductions by 2020 through EHT focus areas(Mt CO2)

Improving efficiency of electricity grids through e.g. active
Smart grid 43.1 monitoring and distributed generation

Monitoring and tracking vehicles and their loads to improve the
Smart logistics 35.2
efficiency of logistics operations

Replacing physical goods, processes or travel with „virtual‟
Dematerialization 22.1 alternatives (e.g. video-conferencing)

Improving traffic and utilities management in cities to
Smart cities 10.5 reduce emissions

Synchronizing manufacturing operations and adding
Smart manufacturing 1.9 communication ability to produced goods

Total 112.8

* -112,8 Mt =2,4% reduction compared to 1990 levels

Banking

The banking industry will be impacted by COP 15 Example

policies on CO2 on emission levels and trading schemes

1 The banking industry must adapt to the effect of climate change on clients

Clients will increasingly be effected by climate change are increasingly conscious
• Assess climate change related risks of corporate loans and bonds to e.g. adjust rates accordingly
• Create offerings and services specifically tailored at need for carbon efficiency (e.g. loans for energy reduction)
• Create green investment themes for retail investors (e.g. green tech funds)

2 The banking industry should reduce own CO2 emissions and cost through green operations

The energy price will increase due to a higher cost of CO2 emissions
• Invest in green operations to reduce cost and emissions
• Use digitalization of documents and processes to reduce emissions and associated costs
• Invest in green IT to reduce energy consumption

3 The banking industry should move into the area of carbon financing

In the case of a Cap and Trade system there will be need for an intermediary between CO 2 suppliers and end users
• Expand product portfolio with carbon financing options for corporate clients
• Build expertise to advice customers in emissions trading


Banking
Scenario
Banks should also develop and market green consumer independent
products and services Example

86% of consumers are concerned for Banks should attract customers with a
climate change compelling environmental agenda

Consumers concerned for climate change (%)*
1. Offer green wholesale consumer products
− Create green credit cards & personal loans for consumer
No, not at green investments (e.g. solar panels, heat punmps)
all concerned − Give consumer “green” enhancements through improved
No, not very 3% advisory for consumers
concerned 11% Yes, extremely
concerned 2.Offer green investment opportunities
38% − Create mutual funds for investment in e.g. venture capital
companies in green technology space
− Create retirement funds with green investment agenda

48%

Yes, somewhat
concerned

* Question asked: “Are you concerned by climate change?”
