Targets for 2013
What are KN’s main focuses when setting yearly targets?
Environmental aspects
Electricity and Gas:Usage for:
Lighting, heating, battery-charging, air conditioning,
ventilation, computers, other office facilities (e.g printers,
photocopiers, etc..)
Transport:Fleet of vehicles with many
environmental impacts:Depletion of scarce
resources, Co2 emissions & other emissions leading to
smog and acid rain.
Water:Anything harmful that enters
the surface water drains may pollute streams, rivers
and kill wildlife.
Noise:Noise can have a significant effect on local
communities.
Disposal Only where all other alternatives have been exhausted
Energy recoveryUse of waste as an alternate source of fuel
Recycling- Source segregation of materials - Separation of waste types required by law (Animal by products, Liquids,
Hazardous Waste)- Mechanical or Biological separation of waste
ReuseReturn and refill schemes: Printer Cartridges, bottle/can deposit schemes, etc
Prevention• Damage reduction• Stock control and rotation• Culture Awareness
Minimization
WASTE MANAGEMENT HIERARCHYHow does it work?
Pollution ManagementPollution Risk assessment
The consequences of environmental breach are not just financial. A firm’s reputation is some of the highest risks and could be essential for the survival of a business.
Therefore it is crucial to understand the environmental
aspects on our sites.
What is Pollution? It is the release of chemical, physical, biological or
radioactive contaminants to the natural environment that causes instability, disorder, harm or discomfort to our ecosystem.
The center piece of KN‘s Environmental Management System
Establish an appropriate environmental policy,
Identify the environmental aspects in order to determine the environmental impacts of significance,
Identify applicable legal and other requirements to which the organization subscribes.
Identify appropriate environmental objectives and targets,
Establish a structure and a programme(s) to implement the policy and achieve objectives and meet targets,
Perform audits and take preventive and corrective actions to ensure both that the policy is complied with and that the environmental management system remains appropriate.
Contract Logistics targets for 2013 !K+N UK’s strategy is to deliver growth through innovation. By converting new and innovative ideas into win/win solutions for ourselves and our customers we create real value.

Kuehne + Nagel’s carbon management programme designed to :
Calculate customers’ carbon footprint, Identify carbon reduction potentials in their transport and logistics activities Offset their remaining emissions.
Carbon Intelligence
Definition & content
What ? An inventory of all of the
emission sources
From where? An organisation, product,
process or person.
Its role? To measure, monitor and
reduce Co2 emissions.
Site emissions include:
Office heating, cooling systems & Refrigeration
Lighting, computers and electronic appliances.
Additionally, in some countries Kuehne + Nagel operates fleets of trucks that necessarily need to be accounted for the company’s overall footprint.
Glossary:
Fossil fuels gas, oil, coal Direct & Indirect emissions gas, electricity...
We aim to be the forwarder leader in
environmental measures
Global Transport Carbon Calculator
(GTCC)
Global Facility Carbon Calculator
(GFCC)
Global Strategic Carbon Calculator
(GSCC)
Our Carbon Intelligence toolkit is based on two main components :
• The Global Facility Carbon Calculator (GFCC): A site-level report enabling to prioritise actions to reduce energy, fuel and water consumption• The Global Transport Carbon Calculator
(GTCC):One of the most powerful tools in the industry
for the measurement and reporting of CO2 emissions caused by sea, air and road
transport activities. The GTCC allows Kuehne + Nagel to provide its clients with reports on their carbon footprint by
transportation mode.
Carbon Intelligence
Global facility carbon calculator
Highlights priorities for action, by identifying
and measuring the larger sources of emissions on site
Enables comparison between similar sites through the use of the emex software.
Provides energy usage needed for Carbon Reduction Commitment [will be a
tax] and fuel usage for Logistics Carbon
Reduction Scheme
Tables and graphs give “green” notice-boards
Baseline set up and target achievements
Scope 1: All direct emissions (company owned fleet)Scope 2: Indirect emissions (consumption of purchased electricity) Scope 3: Other indirect emissions (waste generated in operations)
Global facility carbon calculator
Environment champions Who are they?
Kuehne + Nagel employees who volunteer to become Site Environment Champions.
They act as a 2-way channel for advice and information, conduct trials, be an
advocate for change, prepare and publish the GFCC monthly performance report.
What do they do?
Raise awareness on environmental issues.Provide guidance to staff and influence site
activities to reduce CO2 emissions and costs arising from fuel, energy and water
usage and the disposal of waste.
Glossary – Environmental Law Duty of care: A person is responsible for
avoiding acts or omissions that could be likely to cause harm to the environment.
“Polluter pays” principle : Those who pollute should bear the costs of damaging the environment.
Producer responsibility: Making sure businesses that manufacture and sell certain products are responsible for those products once they become waste.
Water Resources Act 1991
Regime set up to conserve, manage and control pollution of water resources and
abstraction. “A little guidance” :
Only put rain water down the surface water drain!
Water Industry Act 1991
Set up private water authorities.“A little guidance”:
Don’t put anything into a fowl drain but sewage without the permission
of the water authorities!
Classifies waste management according
to their desirability. The 3Rs (Reduce, Use & Recycle) are meant to
be a hierarchy, in order of importance.
CO2 reporting
Scheme designed to reduce carbon emissions How does it reduce them? Charges public and private sector organizations that consume large amounts of electricity and gas.
Pollution prevention Guidelines
Their objective: Prevent pollution entering
watercourses and groundwater by means of
guidance, rather than legislation.
Hazardous Waste regulations
Sets out a regime for the control and tracking of
the movement of hazardous waste.

HOW CAN YOU BE MORE SUSTAINABLE AT HOME?
On average every person in the UK throws away their own body weight in rubbish every
three months.
Over a third of all UK energy use, and 38% of its carbon emissions, are accounted for by transport - mostly road traffic.
Housing in the UK
accounts for 30% of
total fuel use and
energy-related CO2
emissions.
How can you help at KN?Controls are set incorrectlyIn some cases timers and
thermostats are set to switch equipment or lighton when it is not needed.
