5. How to understand company Scorecard

The overall score can be better understood by looking at quantitative information - theme scores, activated criteria - and qualitativeinformation - strengths & improvement areas.

A. QUANTITATIVES INFORMATION: SCORES & ACTIVATED CRITERIA

THEME SCORES: Like the overall score, theme scores are on a scale of 1 to 100.

ACTIVATED CRITERIA: Each of the four themes - ENVIRONMENT, LABOR, FAIR BUSINESS PRACTICES, and SUSTAINABLEPROCUREMENT- have specific criteria associated to them. It is important to note that not all 21 criteria are activated for everycompany and some criteria have more weight than others in the overall assessment. The weights for the criteria are determinedbased on the CSR risks faced by the company according to their industry of operation and their country of operation(s). For moreinformation see Appendix: category profile.

Non ActivatedIf criteria are not activated, this means that the specific associatedissue is not relevant or has very low CSR risk for the company

Medium ImportanceMedium importance criteria are the issues where there is some CSRrisk, but it is not the most pressing criteria.

High ImportanceHigh-importance criteria are the issues where the company facesthe greatest CSR risk.

Only in Risk countriesCriteria classified as Only in Risk Countries are activated only if thecompany has significant operations in one or more risk country.

B. QUALITATIVE INFORMATION: STRENGTHS & IMPROVEMENT AREAS

Qualitative information provides more details and insights into the theme scores. For each theme the company is assigned Strengths (theelements of the CSR management system that are positive) and Improvement Areas (the elements of the CSR management system thatneed to be improved). The strengths & improvement areas are divided according to the 3 management indicators - Policies, Actions,Results – and are also classified by level of importance/priority (i.e. Priority.)

Green check marks indicate the Strengths Alert signs indicate the Improvement Areas

Improvement Areas are a focus point for improvement. The EcoVadis Corrective Action Plan Tool allows companies to improve their CSRperformance on specific improvement areas. It is an interactive tool shared between suppliers and buyers. It supports the development ofAction Plans, a starting point for an effective dialogue between buyers and suppliers on actions taken by a supplier to improve their CSRperformance.

Each improvement area is given a priority levelwhich can be used to set up corrective actionplans.

KEY CSR ISSUES

This section shows a qualitative explanation of the key CSR issues and risk pertaining to Manufacture of corrugated paper andpaperboard and of containers of paper and paperboard.

Key CSR Issues ENVIRONMENT

Energy Consumption & GHG

Definition: Energy consumption (e.g. electricity, fuel, renewable energies) used during operations and transport.Greenhouse gases direct and indirect emissions including CO2, CH4, N2O, HFC, PFC and SF6. Also includesproduction of renewable energy by the company.

Sectorial issues: Corrugated paper and paperboard manufacturing is an energy-intensive process. In the US, forexample, the pulp, paper, and allied products industry is the third largest consumer of energy after the chemicalsand metals industries (1). As a result, energy consumed during manufacturing is the major source of GHGemissions in this category (2). Nonetheless, the forest products industry has demonstrated increased efficiencyover the last decades, becoming a leader in co-generation from biomass-driven combined heat and power (CHP)system (3). According to the IPCC 2014 report, the global pulp and paper industry generates approximately athird of its own energy needs from biomass (2). Figures are much higher in Europe and the US, where 56.5% and66% (respectively) of the industry’s energy consumption is biomassbased, and 95.2% and 96.4% of itselectricity is generated through CHP systems (4)(5). In addition, other energy efficiency technologies andemerging technologies have the potential to provide energy saving opportunities for companies – with anestimated 6.2% energy saving potential of the global energy demand of the pulp and paper industry in 2030 (2).

Water

Definition: Water consumption during operations. Pollutants rejected into water.

Sectorial issues: Water is one of the key resources in this category. In the US, the pulp and paper industry isthe largest consumer of industrial process water (1). Water is used in nearly every stage of the pulping andpapermaking process including in washer filters, bleaching, liquors clarification, cooling towers, and boilers.Consequently, large volumes of wastewater effluents are generated: pulp and paper manufacturers’ wastewaterdischarge can amount to 10-250 cubic meters per metric ton of product (6). Untreated wastewater has adverseconsequences on freshwater and marine environments, arising from high total suspended solids, biochemicaloxygen demand, and dissolved organic compounds (1)(6). To reduce environmental impacts, companies invest inwastewater treatment systems, in reusing water in certain processes, among other measures. Although water isneeded for manufacturing, less than 15% is consumed within the product or lost during production (evaporation)(7).

Materials, Chemicals & Waste



[email protected]


Page: 25/32



Definition: Consumption of all types of raw materials and chemicals. Non-hazardous and hazardous wastegenerated from operations. Also includes air emissions other than GHG (e.g. SOx, NOx).

Sectorial issues: A range of chemicals is used for manufacturing in this category. In fact, the diversity ofchemicals used reflecting the diversity of processes used. For example, over 12 different pulping processes are inuse in the US, each having different environmental concerns (1). In addition to having work processes for labeling,storing, handling, and transporting hazardous goods and chemicals, companies in this sector have implementedchemical recovery processes, which have both economic and environmental benefits (1). For example, chemicalrecovery and recycling systems can be very effective: up to 98% of pulping chemicals are recovered and recycled(5). In addition, the industry is experiencing a trend towards material substitutions, to alternative pulping andbleaching chemicals with reduced environmental impacts (1). Likewise, increasing demand means a trend forincreasing use of recycled fibers – with paper being recycled an average of 3.5 times in Europe (4). In regards towaste, there are a number of residual waste streams from mills, the largest by volume being wastewatertreatment sludge (1). Sulphur dioxide and NOx emissions from boilers, and VOC emissions from chip digestersand chemical recovery evaporators can also represent significant emissions from mills (1). Therefore, companiesincreasingly invest in pollution control technologies and improving their waste management processes.

Product End-of-Life

Definition: Direct Environmental impacts generated from the end-of-life of the products. These impacts caninclude hazardous, non-hazardous waste generated, emissions and accidental pollution.

Sectorial issues: Figures on recycling of corrugated paper and paperboard are consistently high. Globally,corrugated products are the most recovered form of packaging, with 91% percent of all being reclaimed forrecycling in 2012 (10). There are 2 steps in the end of life processes that contribute to reduction of environmentalimpact in this category. First is recovery, which refers to collection of used products including old corrugatedcontainers (OCC) for use as raw materials, thus diverting them from landfills. The second step is recycling, whichentails preparation of recycled materials for use in manufacturing of new products (11). Increased recovery ofOCC is one of the primary reasons for the reduction of environmental footprint within this industry, which is dueto diversion of OCC from landfills and thus avoiding methane emissions (11). Therefore to maintain the highrecyclability rates of corrugated paper and paperboard and further reduce the adverse environmental impact ofthe industry, it is important to facilitate recycling programs by manufacturers and industry associations.

LABOR PRACTICES

Employee Health & Safety

Definition: Deals with health and safety issues encountered by employees at work i.e. during operations andtransport. Includes both physiological and psychological issues arising from, among others, dangerousequipment, work practices and hazardous substance.

Sectorial issues: Corrugated paper and paperboard manufacturing poses several health and safety risks foremployees. Among the main H&S hazards of workers in pulp and paper mills are the potential of injury fromfalling, rolling, and/or sliding pulpwood loads, as well as moving machinery accidents from inadequate machineguarding among other factors (12). For example, employee injuries may arise from debarking and chippingequipment in pulp mills (6). Hazards also arise from the various chemicals used, as well as exposure to noise andwood/fiber dust, which in addition poses a fire hazard (6). Although there are many risks, the accident rates ofthe industry are consistently falling: a 60% reduction in accident rate since 2002 in Europe (4) and a 24%reduction in recordable case incidence rate since 2006 in the USA (5). To mitigate health and safety risks withinthis category, companies can set ambitious safety targets and implement measures in line with a comprehensivehealth and safety management systems based on the OHSAS 18001 standard.

Working Conditions

Definition: Deals with working hours, remunerations and social benefits granted to employees.

Sectorial issues: According to the European Commission’s EU27 statistics, the pulp, paper and paperboardmanufacturing subsector registers high personnel costs, averaging EUR 50 thousand per employee in 2010,compared to a manufacturing average of EUR 35.8 thousand (13). Similarly, the American Forest & PaperAssociation claims that wages at pulp and paper mills are 50% higher than the private sector average (5).Conditions of work, such as wages, working time, rest periods, and holidays, are usually set by national laws andregulations. Companies should minimally ensure compliance to such laws or meet international standards whenthey are more stringent than local laws. Moreover, companies can make efforts to provide conditions of work thatallow workers to enjoy a better work-life balance.

Social Dialog

Definition: Deals with structured social dialogue i.e. social dialog deployed through recognized employeerepresentatives and collective bargaining.

Sectorial issues: According to the 2014 International Trade Union Confederation Global Poll, 63% of surveyrespondents think “workplaces that have a union representing workers provide better wages, conditions andhealth and safety for workers” and 76% “think unions play an active role in society” (14). In this line, active andstructured social dialogue is widely recognized as an important labor practice, including for the manufacturing ofcorrugated paper and paperboard. The International Labor Organization guidance encourages companies to carryout collective bargaining with employee representatives in good faith, and with best efforts to come to anagreement, especially promoting the use of voluntary collective bargaining to regulate terms and conditions ofemployment (15).

Career Management & Training



[email protected]


Page: 26/32



Definition: Deals with main career stages i.e. recruitment, evaluation, training and management of layoffs.

Sectorial issues: In order to foster a strong and committed workforce, companies need to invest in training anddevelopment of their employees. As set by international labor conventions, companies should work to ensure theadequate qualification and training of their employees, including establishing skills and knowledge requirements foreach job function, and considerations regarding employment and promotion prospects (15). Moreover, theEuropean pulp and paper industry highlights new challenges including an ageing workforce, reduced appeal amongyoung workers for the industry, and a gap in knowledge transmission (4). It is thus important for companies toestablish proactive measures throughout the employment cycle to face these emerging challenges.

Child & Forced Labor

Definition: Deals with child, forced or compulsory labor issues within the company owned operations.

Sectorial issues: Child labor and forced labor are particularly important issues for companies with operations inrisk countries. Forced labor is prevalent in conflict areas and is considered a criminal offence and a violation ofhuman rights. Child labor is prohibited by UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (16). Companies accused ofexploiting child or forced labor risk serious harm to their reputation and potential loss of market share. Tominimize the risk associated with child and forced labor companies raise internal awareness of the staff, implementmonitoring procedures to prevent human rights violations, and establish reporting mechanisms such as whistle-blowing procedures.

Discrimination

Definition: Deals with discrimination issues at work. Discrimination is defined as different treatment given topeople in hiring, remuneration, training, promotion, termination; based on race, national origin, religion, disability,gender, sexual orientation, union membership, political affiliation or age.

Sectorial issues: Diversity in the workplace can be a key asset for any company, while discrimination is a seriousissue addressed by specific regulations in most countries. The ISO 26000 guidance for companies to reduce thisrisk include systematically examining potential direct or indirect discrimination that may arise from their laborpolicies and practices, and taking actions to provide for the protection of vulnerable groups. An FAO reportexamining the gender situation in the forestry related industries found that although improvements have beenmade over the years, women are still clearly underrepresented, and it remains a highly male-dominated workingenvironment (17). An ILO study based on the European forest sector found that the gender gap is in the forestryindustry is even more pronounced within managerial/senior roles within companies, and confirmed that femaleemployee wages in most countries are lower than their male counterparts (17). To address issues of genderinequality, companies should not only work towards recruiting more women, but also implementing measures tocreate a workplace conducive to retaining its female employees. In addition, companies in this sector can invest intraining its workforce on discrimination and diversity issues and establish reporting mechanisms such as whistle-blowing procedures to report discrimination.

Fundamental Human Rights

Definition: Deals with fundamental human rights issues at work. This includes the respect of security, propertyrights, employees privacy rights, civil and political rights, rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining,social and cultural rights (including indigenous people) as well as the prevention of harassment, moral and physicalviolence and inhumane or degrading treatment.

Sectorial issues: The respect for human rights at work is a basic principle upheld by several internationalinitiatives such as The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles andRights at Work, and the UN Global Compact. It is an issue applicable to companies operating in risk countries inparticular. Corrugated paper and paperboard manufacturers increasingly operate in tropical developing countries,to take advantage of lower costs and favorable climates for fast-growing trees, representing a shift in theproduction and consumption of forest products at large (7). A shift to operating in countries with potentially weakregulatory systems means the exposure to these risks is anticipated to increase and the responsibility furtherplaced on companies to ensure management systems are in place to respect the fundamental human rights oftheir employees. To minimize the risk associated with fundamental human rights, companies in this category areencouraged to implement specific policies designed to safeguard employees’ rights (18). When communicatedacross organization to all employees and reinforced by awareness training, these policies serve as a foundation ofhuman rights management system (19). Other mitigating measures include having a grievance procedure or awhistle blowing system in place to ensure that the victims are heard without fear of retaliation and that thosefound guilty are sanctioned accordingly (20).

FAIR BUSINESS PRACTICES

Corruption & Bribery

Definition: Deals with all forms of corruption issues at work, including among other things extortion, bribery,conflict of interest, fraud, money laundering.

Sectorial issues: Corruption and bribery are major issues for any company. Regulations such as the U.S. ForeignCorrupt Practices Act (FCPA) make companies accountable for unlawful payments made to foreign governmentofficials used to assist in obtaining or retaining business. Corruption in the forest products industry is arecognized issue, with civil society organizations active in monitoring corrupt practices and governments makingefforts to strengthen anti-corruption mechanisms. The context in which 90% of industrial wood harvestedworldwide is produced as a result of government contracts, leads to a high risk of corruption during the allocationof logging licenses and concessions, with this risk then impacting the entire value chain (21). According toTransparency International, there is a strong correlation between illegal logging and corruption, and thatcorporate level corruption plays a central role in facilitating illegal logging (22). Companies can take preventiveactions against these risks such as through implementing effective codes of conduct with internal complianceaudits and whistle-blowing procedures.

Anti-competitive Practices

Definition: Deals with anti-competitive practices including among others: bid-rigging, price fixing, dumping,predatory, pricing, coercive monopoly, dividing territories, product tying, limit pricing, and the non respect ofintellectual property.

Sectorial issues: Companies in this category face significant anti-trust risk rooted in firms converging oncommon strategy based on control of timber assets. An example of such risk is the recent cartel accusations ofthe Spanish Association of Corrugated Packaging Manufacturers (AFCO) allegedly engaging in anti-competitivebehavior including collective recommendations, price sharing and price fixing (23). To minimize the risk associatedwith anti-trust practices, companies in the industry set internal codes of conducts, provide training on how toavoid anti-competitive practices, conduct audits on compliance and establish formal procedures to reportviolations of anti-competitive policies.

SUSTAINABLE PROCUREMENT

Suppliers & Environment

Definition: Deals with environmental issues within the supply chain i.e. environmental impacts generated from thesuppliers and subcontractors own operations and products.

Sectorial issues: Some of the key supply chain risks faced by corrugated paper and paperboard manufacturersderive from environmental issues linked to their wood fiber procurement. Companies face risks when purchasingwood fiber from suppliers that do not follow sustainable forestry practices or sourced from illegal logging. Adverseenvironmental consequences of unsustainable forestry practices and illegally harvested wood include biodiversityloss and GHG emissions from land-use change, forest degradation, and deforestation. Due to these concerns,and emerging regulatory pressures, companies in this category are increasingly engaged in chain-of-custodyprograms, such as the Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) and the Forest StewardshipCouncil (FSC) certification program. There are over 140 million ha of FSC-certified and 231 million ha of PEFC-certified surfaces globally and this follows a growing trend (4). Another important issue is the environmentalperformance and practices of subcontractor, for which environmental assessments and audits can be performedto verify compliance.

Suppliers & Social

Definition: Deals with labor practices and human rights issues within the supply chain i.e. labor practices andhuman rights issues generated from the suppliers and subcontractors own operations or products.

Sectorial issues: Companies in this category are inevitably involved in the procurement of wood fiber, andconsequently face associated social and ethical risks throughout their own supply chain. One issue in particular isthe risk of companies purchasing wood fiber originating from illegally harvested wood. Illegal logging not onlypromotes corruption, undermines the rule of law, and is largely controlled by organized crime, but it is alsoestimated to cost US$15 billion in lost assets and revenues per year worldwide (7). The risk of involvement isparticularly high when there lacks a good traceability system, or when sourcing from countries with weakregulatory systems (24). According to the International Labor Organization, the forestry sector is marked bywidespread informality, low wages, and hazardous working conditions (17). Companies can take steps to reducesuch risks in their supply chain by conducting supplier and subcontractor CSR assessments to verify compliancewith labor standards, as well as by providing capacity building for suppliers on best practices related to laborpractices and human rights issues. In particular, companies in this sector can work towards maintaining a reliableand up-to-date traceability system for their wood procurement.
