GEMI ANTITRUST GUIDELINES

It is the policy of GEMI to comply fully with the antitrust laws. The Sherman Act and other applicable

antitrust laws are intended to promote vigorous and fair competition and to combat various restraints

of trade.

Each person who participates in GEMI activities has a responsibility to his/her employers and to GEMI

to avoid any improper conduct from an antitrust standpoint. The following guidelines will assist in

meeting this responsibility:

1. GEMI meetings and discussions generally cover environmental, health and safety activities of

member companies. Should related discussions ever have any potential for competitive impact, all

due care shall be taken to avoid such discussion between competitors.

2. In view of antitrust considerations and to avoid any possible restraints on competition, the following

legally sensitive subjects must be avoided during any discussion between competitors:

(a)Future marketing plans of individual competitors should not be discussed between competitors;

(b)Any complaints or business plans relating to specific customers, specific suppliers, specific geographic

markets or specific products, should not be discussed between competitors;

(c)Purchasing plans or bidding plans of companies in competition should not be discussed (except privately

between two parties with a vertical commercial relationship such as supplier and customer); and

(d)Current and future price information and pricing plans, bidding plans, refund or rebate plans, discount

plans, credit plans, specific product costs, profit margin information and terms of sale should not be

discussed between competitors. All of the above are elements of competition.

3. Any question regarding the legality of a discussion topic or business practice should be brought to

the attention of GEMI legal counsel or a company’s individual legal counsel for advice.

WATER SUSTAINABILITY WORK GROUP

Chair:

Karl Fennessey, ConocoPhillips

GEMI Local Water Tool™ launched March 2012 -- Helps companies evaluate specific sites for water impacts and risks in order to devise site-specific sustainable water management strategies

Phase 2 & 3 of the Work Group for 2014 to:

Continue to enhance the current data source list to take it to a more local level and to keep it up to date.

Create an ongoing GEMI LWT™ Forum for all GEMI LWT™ developers to address global water sustainability issues and respond to those challenges and opportunities. There would be 3 GEMI LWT™ Forums held each year as well as ongoing conference calls/webinars, and the agendas would be developed by Forum participants.

GEMI LOCAL WATER TOOL (LWT)™ PROJECT

The GEMI LWT ™ encourages businesses to conduct a systematic assessment of their relationship to water, identify specific opportunities and risks associated with this relationship and report key indicators to stakeholders.

One-year project of GEMI members & LWT Project Participant companies – launched in March 2012

GEMI LWT™ Project Participants:

GEMI LOCAL WATER TOOL (LWT)™

1. Global Risk

Assessment of Portfolios

2. Local Risk

Assessment of Specific

Site

3. Detailed Water

Modeling of Specific Site

• How many sites are in

extremely water scarce areas?

• Which sites are in greatest risk

areas?

• How many employees live in

countries that lack access to

water supply or sanitation?

• What are the water risks at

this site:

• Physical supply

• Regulatory

• Social

• Competition

• Climate variability

• Which risks are greatest?

• What is our management

plan?

Designed to answer questions at different levels:

• What is optimum water

balance between process

streams?

• Which month is the

greatest stress?

• What % of river water flow

is used?

SUPPLY CHAIN SUSTAINABILITY TOOL

Provide an actionable tool linking market-oriented sustainability indicators, claims and best practices (recycled content, recyclability, renewable content, substance free, etc.); scientifically based economic input-output (EIO) and life-cycle assessment LCA methodologies; and, supply chain operational metrics guiding effective sustainable procurement and sourcing.

Take advantage of a top-down ‘hotspot’ approach and bottom-up ‘attributional LCA’ approach to prioritize environmental aspects within a firm’s supply chain while assessing the most relevant improvement opportunities of initially 3-5 commonly purchased product categories.

The project will be supported by and conducted in partnership with:

Anticipated to be available in fall 2014

GEMI’s library currently includes 2 supply chain tools:
