Measuring real socio-‐environmental Impacts along Value-‐chains
November 4 2013
© Factor-‐X 2013
The Problems
• Data overload – Companies are engaged in con3nuous improvement of environmental figures for
numerous years. Data accumulate, but data collecCon processes affects their quality and coherence.
– Yet, socio-‐environmental pressure, CSR, labeling and Ethics demands are sCll growing from stakeholders and public authori3es.
• A business is not run alone – ParCcular emphasis over supply chain and purchasing footprint improvements : CDP,
GRI 4, GHG protocol scope 3, UE PEF & OEF, … – But the supply chain of many corporaCons has become extremely scaWered and is
unmanageable beyond level 1 suppliers.
• Innova3on – Most of the marginal efficiency gains on the producCon side are behind us. – An Excel chart does not help thinking out of the box
• Consultants should deliver added value instead of chasing a?er data

Too many tools, each serving a small purpose
Most of these tool Locking customers on a long term relaConship
Too many people managing social & environmental informaCon
Very liWle informaCon about product composiCon, traceability beyond level 1
Suppliers not very keen to provide raw informaCon to customer
Product footprints are expensive, Cme consuming and based on generic factors
Metrics to define product performance are not hamonized (yet)
Data quality issues , UncertainCes are big
3
Shared methodologies into a single Framework, Time saver, both corporate & products
Open source model & aWracCve pricing + access to consultants & auditors
IdenCfy who does what easily & track answers statuses
Allow supplier to push request upward in supply chain at no cost
Build transparency along value chain for every actor (dependency)
Build Trust
Low Cost / accessible to any one, easy to use ; real factors
Open to any methodology, customer defines what he whats to track
Manage data quality & uncertainCes with innovaCons

General idea : 1 data = different answers

User Centered Features – Basic rules
8
• Rule #1 : Your Data are NEVER disclosed – DisCncCon made between acCvity data (remaining your ownership and never disclosed)
and results : being transmissible
• Rule #2 : Everything starts with a query – Myrmex = Trusted third party relay queries made by stakholders to your
organisaCons – You decide if and how you want to respond to each query
• Rule #3 : Your performance is not disclosed unless you say so – There are several steps to proceed through to send a result out of your company – Many validaCon layers, few people having the authority to disclose informaCon
• Rule #4: If you don’t save 3me on the long run, quit ! – MYRMEX intends to help companies solve their socio-‐environmental issues by
mutualizing these into a one-‐stop-‐shop. If you see no Cme savings aper a year r so, give us feedback and quit.

Ongoing developments – Manage Uncertain3es
11
• Rule #1: Result = DATA x (1 + Uncertainty factor)
• Rule #2 : The mode detailed informa3on you give, the less uncertain3es you get
• Rule #3 : As long as you progress towards the resource, %uncertain3es are reduced.
• Factors reducing uncertain3es – TheoreCcal Data (Hotspots) – 3 data quality level for each supplier – 3 allocaCon processes for each supplier – Internal data verificaCon by manager – Data validaCon by external consultants – Data Audited third party – Conform to Sector guidance documents (materiality,
impacts, etc)
• By adding further informa3on DATA value can some3mes increase, but we expect in 85% that overall impact is reduced.
