Why Sustainability is Important to Kraton

5

We care about people and the environment

Increasing demands from customers and investors

Sustainability strategies contribute to Kraton’s ability to grow, to

improve productivity and reduce risk

Sustainability is key to become an admired Fortune 500 specialty

chemical company

Our Sustainability Ambitions

Based on where Kraton is today, we established

two long-term sustainability ambitions:

Conduct 12 Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) by

2020

Achieve 25 percent reduction in

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions

by 2030 (baseline year 2014).

• Influence of an economic allocation

depending on the share of the main

product on the total value of SBO

and Scandinavian TOFA

• Taking the LUC into account

significantly increases the global

warming potential. There are still

considerable differences between

the three sources (Thinkstep,

Globiom and Mirage) ranging from 3

to 11 kg CO2-eq/kg.

• Possible causes of the outcomes

may be different assumptions in the

modelling of these sources, such as

different scopes or country-specific

influences.

• In all cases the impact of TOFA on

GWP taking in account LUC is

almost zero.

Nordic TOFA SYLFAT™ 2 CO2 eq / Kg is 0.691kg of which LUC contribution is negligible

carbon footprint savings: practical

SOFA from Brazil @11,17 Kg CO2 eq/Kg replaced by Nordic SYLFAT™ 2 TOFA @ 0.691 Kg CO2 eq/kg as drop in replacement!

1000T SOFA replaced by 1000T Nordic SYLFAT™ 2 TOFA = 10479 T CO2eq reduction

Return Brussels – Chicago = 0.98 T CO2 -> 10693 returns saved

Route 66 with Harley Davidson = 0.53 T CO2 -> 19772 roadtrips

A 4 person family winter vacation trip by plane from Chicago to Miami = 1.12 T CO2 -> 9356 family vacations

Opportunity for value chain marketing based on real data and carbon footprint information easy understandable by the end consumers!

Opportunity to engage consumers and inform about choices they can make

Opportunity to improve the companies carbon footprint by smart raw material purchasing and achieve substantial carbon footprint reductions

Life cycle assessment (LCA) on the production of CTO Derivatives in our north

European refineries according to ISO 14040 & 14044 and EN 15804 is

available!

The life cycle inventory (LCI) of the production of CTO Derivative has been used to

create a dataset which can be used in LCA software (Gaby)

The functional unit is defined as the production of 1 kg of CTO Derivative.

The scope of our TOFA LCA considers all processes from the cradle to the

factory gate (modules A1-A3).

Carbon footprint – Biogenic carbon - LCA

21

Biogenic carbon is embedded in TOFA and the carbon footprint is calculatedas -3 Kg CO2 eq in this case

LCA-s of final products including end of life can claim biogenic carbon from TOFA which is not the case for fossil fuel originating building blocks used for binders / resins.

Biogenic carbon is from renewable sources and regenerated through sustainableforestry

End of life for most of the coatings (woodcoatings for instance) is by burning or incineration which is a requirement to reclaim biogenic carbon.

Outcome: Formulators of alkyds or other type of binders using TOFA are able to take advantage of the negative carbon footprint from the biogenic carbon in their LCA calculations.

GWP – Biogenic vs Fossil

A1-A3 modules are assumed to be of equal GWP (Global Warming Potential)

Difference is in the C module (end of life):

• When the fossil alternative is incinerated it will have a positive GWP load in the C Module.

• Alternatively, when disposing biogenic material, the C module GWP load is 0.

Conclusions:

27

Nordic TOFA, one of the product outputs form Crude Tall Oil Refining has minimal impact on land use change and as a result on global warming

Nordic TOFA has extreme low carbon footprint which allows:

Production of low carbon footprint alkyd binders for coatings usage and the manufacturing of different surfactants based on the TOFA molecules.

Reduction of companies carbon footprint based on incoming raw materials, the largestfactor on the overall footprint of a company.

Overall reduction of the carbon footprint along the value chain. From raw materialproducer till end consumer.

Nordic TOFA is non GMO, non food competing and 100% bio-based certified

Nordic TOFA combines sustainability with high quality characteristics in alkyd binder paint systems

Using Nordic TOFA means intelligent biorefining using sustainable products for high quality applications with minimal impact on nature.
