TA1: Eco-babble – Challenges and Implications of Eco-Labels and Certifications

SALON H

Recent shifts in the ecolabeling landscape are dramatic. Consumers are indicating they are confused by environmental and social labels on products. Some suppliers are developing their own green product scorecards and NGO’s also have a variety of labels. Amidst these changes, the Federal Trade Commission is finalizing its guidelines for communicating environmental claims. Hear about the implications for retailers and suppliers and the trends that will affect how retailers can work with their suppliers to procure greener products. How are claims substantiated? This session will provide some best practice examples both within and outside the grocery and consumer goods product sector to show how companies are strategically addressing these issues head on. • Laura Flanigan, Consultant, PE INTERNATIONAL, Inc. and Five Winds Strategic Consulting • Graham Mitchell, General Manager, North America, UTZ Certified • T.C.

SUPERVALU has partnered with World Wildlife Fund and set an aggressive goal to absolute reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 10% over 5 years with a baseline of 2007. They are also working aggressively to promote a zero waste theme throughout the organization. HEB has a 105 year history of partnerships with the community, NGO’s and farmers.You’ll hear their story of how nurturing long term relationships with small to midsize farmers and creating partnerships with local and statewide environmental organizations has helped build a powerful synergy between their employees, customers, suppliers and the community. • Matthew Banks, Senior Program Officer – Climate Change Business and Industry Program, World Wildlife Fund US • Susan Ghertner, Director, Environmental Affairs, H-E-B • Pete Pearson, Director, Sustainability and National Accounts, SUPERVALU INC. • Moderator: Jeanne von Zastrow, Senior Director, Sustainability and Industry Relations, FMI GRAND BALLROOM, SALON A

TA5: Enhancing Sustainability by Preventing Food Waste

We live in a wasteful world and food is no exception. Americans produce approximately 34 million tons of food waste annually, comprising 25% of all food produced and about 14% of the total municipal solid waste stream in the U.S. As a result of the environmental effects of this material in landfills, food waste has become one of the U.S. EPA’s top waste issues. In this session, we will explore the devastating social, environmental and economic impacts of food waste. We will report sources of food waste across the supply chain and discuss strategies for preventing food waste that enhance sustainability. We will also demonstrate how life cycle thinking can be used to translate these strategies into internal programs that reduce waste and realize tangible cost benefits. • Jean Schwab (Invited), US EPA National Food Recovery Initiative, Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery, US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) • Ron Cotterman, Executive Director, Sustainability, Sealed Air Corporation (session provided by Sealed Air Corporation) 12:00 PM – 1:15 PM

TP1: Challenges and Opportunities for Waste: What Will and Won’t Work!

SALON H

Companies are increasingly devoting efforts to make their packaging lighter, more recyclable and using recyclable content. Recycling rates are going up, but challenges remain. With tight economic times, however, a debate has emerged as to whether progress will continue and whether a new waste system is needed. This panel will explore our current system, the progress that’s been made, and what will and won’t work going forward. • Lee Anderson, Director, State and Local Government Relations, General Mills, Inc. • John Shanahan, Senior Director, Energy and Environmental Policy, GMA • Steve Swartz, Partner, McKinsey and Company • Moderator: Scott Faber, Vice President, Federal Affairs, GMA

TP2: Footprints & Handprints – Building Sustainability into Products

GRAND BALLROOM, SALON I

Companies and people create sustainability impacts through our footprints and our handprints. A footprint implies unintentional negative impacts on others and on the environment. It’s good to minimize our footprint. A handprint implies deliberate craft, through which we create positive impacts in the world - e.g. by improving environmental and social outcomes in conjunction with economic outcomes. Our handprint is a positive thing, and we should seek to maximize it. The interactive footprint and handprint exercises have the audience “build” sustainability into products and create positive energy; help the group understand and apply sustainability; and make design thinking and design principles visible and accessible to all functions of an organization - designers and non-designers alike. • Catherine Greener, Co-Founder and Principal, Cleargreen Advisors • Marc Major, Co-Founder and Principal, Cleargreen Advisors • Moderator: Nate Shepley Streed, Sustainability Contractor, The Kroger Co.

Networking Break in Sustainability Showcase Win! Win! Win! The Business Case for Building Resilient Socially Responsible Supply Chains and Community Partnerships

Developing strategic partnerships helps to build resilient supply chains that are proven to provide positive economic, environmental and social benefits to all. As more companies adapt to understanding and engaging with sustainability issues, social sustainability should play a central role in the long-term executive vision and strategy, yet it is often far less developed, measured and communicated – and its opportunities are left untapped. Genuinely innovative social and community engagement with stakeholders and customers alike is perhaps the strongest and most enduring catalyst for brand value and differentiation. This session presents industry case studies showcasing visionary, cross-sector partnerships that have created “wins” for all players engaged. • Kai Robertson, Director, Food, Beverage and Agriculture, Business for Social Responsibility • Jhana Senxian, Chief Executive Officer, Sustainability Guild International 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM

Stakeholder Partnerships 2.0

GRAND BALLROOM, SALONS D-G

It’s time to go beyond the entry level discussion on NGO/corporate partnerships and start asking the hard questions behind these relationships. Is the concept of a “mutual value proposition” sustainable? Why do the relationships fail and what can you do to keep them from running off the rails? Is there an exit strategy for each side and when do you put it in place? What are the ‘over the horizon’ issues that companies should worry about and do they require a whole new set of partners? Tackle these questions and more to promote discussions between the audience and the NGO panelists who are ready to go to Partnerships 2.0. • Jonathan Kaplan, Senior Policy Specialist, Natural Resources Defense Council • Elizabeth Sturcken, Managing Director, Environmental Defense Fund • Irit Tamir, Senior Advocacy and Collaborations Advisor, Oxfam America • Moderator: Don Reed, Director, Sustainability and Climate Change, PricewaterhouseCoopers US 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM EAST FOYER

GRAND BALLROOM, SALONS D-G

Approximately 34 million tons of food waste is generated annually in the U.S., according to the U.S. EPA, and other estimates are even higher. While data on the amount and sources of food waste vary, food sent to landfill does represent lost opportunities to realize processing & waste management efficiencies, feed the hungry, and divert this material to beneficial alternatives.
