IBM has a wide range of suppliers – both across and within the many

procured commodity families.

Some suppliers may not understand how IBM’s S&EMS supplier

requirements apply to them and, accordingly, may not clearly understand

what they need to do to comply with these requirements.

This module provides IBM’s suppliers with additional and

supplemental information to assist them in the following:

Identifying the applicability of requirements to IBM suppliers, and

Helping suppliers understand what IBM expects of them

Overview of IBM’s S&EMS Requirements for Suppliers

IBM’s suppliers provide a wide range of services and products to IBM –

and their operations range from those working out of their homes to those

with major manufacturing operations

Our suppliers are required to define, deploy, and sustain a corporate social

responsibility and environmental management system that identifies

significant aspects of the supplier's intersections with these matters.

Our suppliers’ “Intersections” between their workforce, their environment and

society will, thus, vary widely.

The Management System and programs by which we expect our suppliers to

manage these “intersections” will, thus, vary as well.

Overview – cont’d

IBM’s management system requirements are relevant to ALL suppliers –

(including small or large services suppliers who do not manufacture

anything) and all suppliers need to identify their intersections with the

environment and have programs to properly manage, measure and disclose

information about them

For example, all suppliers use energy, create waste, pay salaries/benefits, etc.

Thus, the need for suppliers to respond to all eight requirements, positively or

negatively

However the degree to which these management system requirements

insect suppliers vary depending on the supplier's business.

For example, energy use and associated greenhouse gas emissions from a

service provider occupying one floor of an office building would be very

different than a supplier involving in manufacturing or transportation

Social elements of IBM’s S&EMS Supplier Requirements Our Supply Chain Social Responsibility (SCSR) program employs a comprehensive

plan across our global network of suppliers that includes the requirement that:

IBM Suppliers shall have within their management policies & practices elements that ensure working conditions in their facilities are safe, workers are treated with respect and dignity, and business operations are environmentally responsible.

The Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) Code of Conduct (CoC) contains provisions for such a corporate social responsibility (CSR) system and provides guidance in the five critical areas of CSR performance audited/reviewed by IBM:

Labor (Treat employees with dignity & respect)

Health and Safety (Evaluate & control exposure to hazards)

Environment (Protect the environment)

Management System (Implement management systems approach to drive solutions)

Ethics (Uphold the highest ethical standards)

IBM is adopting the EICC CoC in 2011 as its own supplier code of conduct and will eventually sunset its Supplier Conduct Principles (SCP), accordingly. IBM employs 3rd-party audit companies to audit a suppliers’ conformance to EICC & SCP standards.

All IBM suppliers will be audited against CoC or SCP provisions, production and non-production alike.

IBM suppliers should move to conform to the CoC provisions as IBM transitions away from its SCP.

A fully-executed Supplier Conduct Principles Letter Agreement (SCPLA) means you meet this requirement

Environmental elements of IBM’s S&EMS Supplier Requirements

Suppliers shall define, deploy, and sustain a corporate Environmental

Management System (EMS) that identifies significant aspects of the

supplier's intersections with environmental matters.

A management system is a structured framework of practices and

procedures that enables an organization to execute its operations in a

consistent and sustained manner, and includes the following components:

1. Policy (Formal statement of values and commitments)

2. Planning

3. Implementation and Operation

4. Monitoring, Checking and Corrective Action

5. Management Review

IBM encourages its suppliers to align their EMS with the ISO 14001 model.

A management system is intended to be system dependent, not people

dependent.

The system is built on the Plan, Do, Check and Act Model (see Next Page).

Basic Considerations for defining, deploying, sustaining an EMS

Company’s ‘vision statement’ (formalized policy statement, commitment) -- what is it that the company wants to accomplish in protecting the environment?

Identify the elements of the company’s activities, products and services that intersect with its policy statement.

What are the environmental legal requirements associated with the company’s intersects?

What is the process to identify applicable legal requirements?

What documents and/or procedures are needed to control the intersects?

How is performance against requirements and processes monitored and measured?

Ensure management review, involvement and support is part of system.

• Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP)

Supply Chain Program

In summary, IBM Suppliers are now required to: *

1. Manage their corporate responsibility and environmental intersects in a

systemic manner

2. Measure their environmental performance and establish voluntary

improvement goals (numeric)

3. Disclose their environmental results publicly

* Suppliers are to cascade these same requirements onto their own suppliers, where

work performed is material (of consequence) to products/services provided to IBM

Note: IBM does not ask its suppliers to do anything IBM itself would not do, is not doing, or has not done itself already.

Conforming to IBM’s S&EMS Management System Requirements

IBM’s Suppliers are required to define, deploy, and sustain a corporate-level

social responsibility and environmental management system…

This requirement could be met in the form of a single management system that

incorporates both the social and environmental aspects that IBM now requires.

This requirement could also be met with the existence of two or more separate

management systems within the supplier’s organization, where the systems

combined cover the IBM-required social and the environmental elements.

A supplier’s existing management system could be found under such headings

as Corporate Responsibility (CR), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR),

“Sustainability”, EMS and/or some other variation of environmental, social &

governance (ESG) programs.

To implement a mgmt system that meets IBM’s S&EMS requirements, the

supplier should develop a management system inclusive of the following aspects:

• Social elements that conform to the EICC Code of Conduct (CoC) provisions

• Environmental elements that conform to the ISO 14001 Standard EMS provisions

IBM Suppliers must have an Environmental Management System

Defined: a supplier has identified requirements of an EMS and the

responsibilities to effectively implement, and maintain its S&EMS.

Deployed: the responsibilities defined in the EMS are being executed and

requirements are being met. This includes communicating S&EMS roles,

responsibilities and authorities to, and made them understood by, all

relevant personnel.

Sustained: the EMS is maintained to ensure its relevancy to business and

effectiveness and its implementation is ongoing.

Specifically, IBM will now requires all of its suppliers to define, deploy, and sustain

a corporate-level Environmental Management System (EMS) that identifies

significant aspects of the supplier's intersections with environmental matters.

What is meant by “Define, Deploy, and Sustain”?

What is ISO 14001?

• ISO 14001 is one of the most widely-used EMS standard. There are,

however, other EMS frameworks…

• ISO 14001 is a generic standard. Generic means that the same

standards can be applied:

to any organization, large or small, whatever its product or service,

in any sector of activity, and

whether it is a business enterprise, a public administration, a college or

university, or a government department.

• Generic also signifies that

no matter what the supplier’s line of business or scope of activity, if it wants to

establish an environmental management system, ISO 14001 gives the

essential features needed to get started / get it done.

What are Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHGs?

GHG emissions generated directly and indirectly by an entity such as a supplier can be classified into “scopes,” based on the source of the emissions.

Scope 1 emissions are direct GHG emissions of a reporting enterprise (e.g., supplier) from sources that are owned or controlled by that enterprise.

Scope 2 emissions are indirect GHG emissions of a reporting enterprise. They account for emissions from the generation of electricity, heating and cooling, or steam generated off-site that is purchased and consumed by the enterprise.

• If a supplier purchases electricity, heating and cooling, or steam, then that supplier has Scope 2 GHG emissions and IBM requires that to be accounted for.

• Whether small or large, whether working in a home office or in a commercial office building, whether they have manufacturing facilities or not, whether they provide a product or service, virtually all suppliers use electricity.

• Electricity demand/generation/use is a major cause of CO2 GHG emissions

Scope 3 emissions: Outside of IBM’s requirements

Environmental Aspects & Impacts

The “Environment” is the surroundings within which an organization

operates, including air, water, land, natural resources, plant life, animal

life, humans, and their interrelationships (i.e., where they intersect).

An “Environmental Aspect” or “Intersect” is that element of an

organization's activities, products or services that can intersect/interact

with or have an “Impact” (positive, negative or neutral) on the

environment (e.g., air, water, land).

Our suppliers are to define, deploy, and sustain a corporate social

responsibility and environmental management system that identifies

significant aspects of the supplier's intersections with these matters.

Our suppliers’ “Intersections” between their workforce, their environment and

society will, thus, vary widely.

The Management System and programs by which we expect our suppliers to

manage these “intersections” will, thus, vary as well.

(Definitions adopted from Environmental Management System Partnerships> http://www.ecologia.org/ems/ and ISO 14001)

Scope 1 GHG Emissions: Sample Calculation (Summary) Fuel Annual Fuel Use

(gallons) Emission Factor t CO2

t CO2

equivalent

1 boiler in Building 1: fuel is no. 2 fuel oil 500,000 X 10.15 kg CO2/gallon = 5,075

2 company cars: fuel is gasoline 10.000 X 8.91 kg CO2/gallon = 89.1

TOTAL Scope 1 GHG emissions 5,164.1

For example, a company pays for and burns fuel oil no. 2 in a boiler to heat Buidling1 in the winter. The company also

has two company cars.

What are the company’s scope 1 GHG emissions for the reporting year?

Boiler: based on the company’s purchase records to determine the amount of oil used. In this case, it was 500,000

gallons.

Cars: based on the company’s purchase records to determine the amount of gasoline used. In this case, it was 10,000

gallons.

Multiply each fuel use amount by the respective emission factor to obtain GHG emissions in CO2-equivalents.

Emission factors may be obtained from publicly available sources such as U.S. Energy Information Administration .

Adding Scope 1 GHG emissions from boiler and 2 cars you get the total Scope 1 emissions for the company

TOTAL Scope 2 GHG emissions 1357.5

For example, a company operates out of two office buildings. Building 1 is owned and Building 2 is leased.

Building 1: the company purchases electricity from a utility company and receives a month electricity bill.

Building 2: the landlord charges the company for actual electricity used each month for building 2.

What are the company’s scope 2 emissions for the reporting year?

First there is the electricity that the company purchases from the power utility. In this example, it is 1,000 MWh per year

based on electric bills the company received. This is multiplied by the emission factor to obtain GHG emissions in CO2-

equivalents. Emission factors may be obtained from your utility provider or other publicly available sources such as U.S.

Energy Information Administration .

Similarly, scope 2 GHG emissions can be calculated for Building 2. You may receive your electric usage from the

landlord, in this case, 1,500 MWh per year

Adding Scope 2 GHG emissions from the 2 buildings, you get the total emissions from electricity use by the company

Scope 2 GHG Emissions: Sample Calculation (Details)

Step: Example calculation: 1. Identify sources a) Purchased electricity for Building 1

b) Electricity used by Building 2 2. Select calculation approach Use documented emission factors (most common). Obtain emission factors from any of the following:

Your electricity provider; or

Regional electric grid factor (usually publicly available from government or regulatory agencies); or

National electric grid factor (usually publicly available from government or regulatory agencies); or

U.S. and International emission factors for electricity consumption may be obtained from the U.S. Energy Information Administration at URL: http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/1605/emission_factors.html

3. Collect data and choose emission factors

Data

a) Determine megawatt hour (MWh) of electricity purchased

for the year. Obtain this from your electricity bill. For this

example, let’s say the company used 1,000 MWh and the

building is located in Australia.

b) Determine the megawatt hours of electricity your landlord

billed you. This may be in the rent statement, a utility bill

or a separate statement from your landlord. For this

example, we will use 1,500 MWh and the location of the building is in Belgium.

Emission Factor

a) Use the emission factor you obtained from your

electricity provider or other recognized source. In

this example, let’s use 0.924 metric tons CO2/MWh.

b) In this example, we will use the emission factor of 0.289 metric tons CO2/MWh.

4. Calculate emissions Multiply the amount of electricity with the respective emission factor to obtain the amount of CO2 emitted resulting

electricity consumption during the year:

a) Building 1: 1,000 MWh x 0.924 metric tons CO2/MWh = 924 metric tons CO2 b) Building 2: 1,500 MWh x 0.289 metric tons CO2/MWh = 433.5 metric tons CO2

5. Roll-up data to company level

Adding emissions from electricity used by both buildings to arrive at the total Scope 2 GHG emissions for the company: 924+ 433.5 = 1357.5 metric tons CO2.
