Amcor & Carbon
• Built Carbon Model
• Scope 1 & 2 no change
• Scope 3 increased accuracy
• Some Industry Averages still used
• Some direct inputs from suppliers

Carbon Management Strategy
• Resource Efficiency– Lights – Motors– Air– Steam– Heating/cooling
• Energy supply– Cogen– Biomass– Waste to Energy
• Supply Chain– Materials Selection– Sourcing– Partnerships

Conclusions
• Energy supply only part of the story
• Focus on Material Issues
• Accurate quantification can be complex
• Business risk if not managed
