Supporting Apex Clean Energy’s IFC-Compliant ESMS Journey

Carrying out an analysis of a US-based renewable energy generator’s newly developed Environmental and Social Management System

The Situation

Apex Clean Energy recognizes the importance of ensuring that environmental and social factors are suitably managed when delivering projects to supply renewable power across the United States.

To improve the coordination of their efforts across the business, Apex’s Sustainability Team began to put in place the processes and documentation required to comply with the International Finance Corporation’s Performance Standard 1 (IFC PS1) – an Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS). Being new to the standard, Apex reached out to Anthesis for guidance on how best to implement the requirements.

Solutions

Impact

Apex Clean Energy’s new ESMS is now being developed in line with the guidance received by Anthesis, and their Sustainability Team have a clearer path to meeting the IFC PS1 requirements.

  • Company: Apex Clean Energy
  • Sector: Power & Utilities

Our Solutions

Anthesis interviewed core personnel responsible for business areas integral to the new ESMS to gauge the alignment level of their current processes against the standard.

After reviewing this information, as well as a series of shared documents, Anthesis provided a succinct report to the Apex team with guidance on how to interpret each of the 9 areas of IFC PS1 – including topics such as policy, stakeholder engagement, and organizational capacity and competency.

We appreciated Anthesis’s open and friendly approach. We felt comfortable sharing our ambitions and in turn received really helpful advice and support.

Validating SBTi Net Zero Targets for LIPTON Teas & Infusions

The Situation

LIPTON Teas and Infusions is the world’s largest tea business, with world-class brands that are household names such as Lipton, Pukka, TAZO, T2 and PG Tips. The company has production sites in four continents and a presence in more than 100 countries.

Anthesis Group was engaged to complete a GHG inventory, and support LIPTON Teas and Infusions in the establishment of their Science Based Targets (including Forest, Land and Agriculture – FLAG targets).

Alongside this, Anthesis worked with LIPTON Teas and Infusions to develop a decarbonisation roadmap, which would facilitate understanding of target feasibility, and identification of the opportunities for greatest impact to achieve an ambitious net-zero target across its entire value chain by 2040.

Solutions

Net Zero and Decarbonisation Services

Impact

Anthesis Group supported LIPTON Teas and Infusions’ sustainability journey, from conducting a comprehensive GHG inventory to validated Science Based Targets, including Forest, Land, and Agriculture (FLAG) targets.

Our Solutions

Anthesis provided:

  • A full GHG inventory for scope 1, 2, 3 and FLAG emissions.
  • Support and guidance throughout the SBTi submission & target validation process (including FLAG targets).
  • Identification and quantification of decarbonisation levers in sessions with Anthesis experts from agri-food, packaging, manufacturing, supply chain, change management, and climate alongside LIPTON Teas and Infusions’ supply-chain, research and innovation, and manufacturing teams.
  • An assessment of LIPTON Teas and Infusions’ overall business model to identify barriers and opportunities.
  • A reduction roadmap to model the impact of decarbonisation measures.
  • A change impact assessment to identify internal and external stakeholder groups that would be critical to successful implementation of decarbonisation measures.

Impacts of the Project

The high-level reduction roadmap that was developed is ambitious but remains realistic and pragmatic. It balances the need to lay the foundations for a long-term business transformation with the need for rapid decarbonisation to meet LIPTON Teas and Infusions’ now validated near-term and long-term science-based, net-zero targets.

LIPTON Teas and Infusions is now focused on early intervention to decouple growth from GHG emissions, reducing business constraints and introducing stretch goals.

By establishing a Science Based Target, and executing its reduction roadmap, LIPTON Teas and Infusions can lead not only in the market but also set a precedent, leading by example for its suppliers.

Anthesis was an invaluable partner in helping us, as a newly independent company, chart our path to net zero. Having our science-based targets subsequently validated has provided crucial confirmation that we are making meaningful progress.

Developing Chemical Management Approach for Holt Renfrew

The Situation

Anthesis worked with Holt Renfrew to gather information to develop a chemicals management approach for beauty and personal care products sold in their stores.

The work led to the development of a set of criteria for their H Project Approved Clean Beauty and Clean Beauty+ responsible buy icon.

Solutions

Sustainable Chemistry

Impact

Chemicals of concern were identified and refined the criteria for the H Project Approved Clean Beauty program.

  • Company: Holt Renfrew
  • Sector: Retail

Our Solutions

Anthesis benchmarked chemicals commonly found in beauty and personal care products that could possibly be found in its assortment (function, hazard, regulatory status in USA, Canada, and EU) and drafted chemical policy roadmap.

A recommended a list of sensitive chemicals to avoid in products was created and included in the H Project Approved Clean Beauty and Clean Beauty + responsible buy icon criteria.

Explore our Sustainable Chemistry Solutions

We valued Anthesis’ expertise and knowledge in chemical management which enabled us to establish appropriate criteria for clean beauty and propel us forward on our H Project Approved responsible buy icon program.

Chemicals of concern

The chemical benchmarking work helped to identify a set of commonly used chemicals of concern in beauty and personal care products. Once the list was established, further research was conducted into hazard profiles and regulatory standards of each chemical. The chemicals identified were used as a starting point to further drill down to seven chemicals of concern which were included in their H Project Approved Clean Beauty and Clean Beauty + responsible buy icon criteria.

Anthesis Arrow

Project advisory

Based on research and expertise gained from working with other key clients, we narrowed the list of chemicals of concern and provided our recommendations and reasoning on which chemicals to include in the icon criteria. We reviewed the list with Holt Renfrew, incorporating the comments, and finally reviewed the material Holt Renfrew created for its Beauty Advisors to reference when discussing the H Project Approved Clean Beauty and Clean Beauty+ responsible buy icon with customers. We also summarised the regulatory authority and reach of chemical and animal testing regulations in the USA and Canada.

Conducting ESG Assessment for a Food Brand

Situation

A food branded needed to conduct a comprehensive ESG risk assessment and determine ‘Value at Risk’ (VaR) for a food and nutrition category.

Impact

Developed an improved enterprise risk register, blending ESG risk with commercial risk in a way that mainstreams sustainability at a senior leadership level.

Solutions

Food waste scaled e1626855252951

Situation

A food branded needed to identify and assess the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risks impacting the value chain of a single category, including those that the client needed to act on, and how they could be integrated or tracked under the corporate risk register. An assessment of the ‘Value at Risk’ (VaR) – whether that is defined as revenues, sales, market value etc – was needed to evaluate the potential level of financial damage sustained by the category.

Solution

Anthesis conducted a full value chain assessment of the principal ESG risks for a single food brand. Through an assessment of the financial ‘Value at Risk’, we applied these insights to develop an improved enterprise risk register that blends ESG risk with commercial risk. This helped communicate these growing sustainability issues in a financial context to the executive committee level for discussion and action.

Key services included:

  • An understanding of the full range of social, environmental and geopolitical risk factors liable to impact the brand.
  • An assessment of the likelihood of the risk occurring.
  • An evaluation of the impact, i.e. level of damage sustained (if a single event did occur) as the basis of the calculation of Value at Risk.
  • Development of a ‘Roadmap’, with high-level recommendations on integration with the pre-existing enterprise risk management and evaluation processes.

Once the risk themes and VaR had been defined, we hosted a workshop with the food brand to share the project’s findings, those being:

  • The screening output from RiskHorizon™, leading to the ability to articulate the key ‘macro’ risks to the category/product supply chain, on both global and regional levels, for Europe, West and East Africa, Asia and Australasia.
  • The output from the VaR modelling illustrating the key areas of economic vulnerability and resilience.
  • An overview of the relative strengths and weaknesses and risks and opportunities for the food brand’s critical supply chain and sourcing requirements and needs, as a mechanism to target the best use of capital investment in adaptation measures and develop strategic intervention on any new impacts.

Impact

Anthesis was able to support the business to develop an improved enterprise risk register, blending ESG risk with commercial risk in a way that mainstreams sustainability at a senior leadership level. For the supply chain team, they are able to start to consider the challenges around materials risks and traceability, for instance, alternative sourcing arrangements in the event of supply chain disruption.

]]> Setting Science-based Targets Across Hg’s Portfolio https://www.anthesisgroup.com/me/case-studies/setting-science-based-targets-across-hgs-portfolio/ Mon, 15 Apr 2024 14:50:52 +0000 https://anthesisglobal.wpenginepowered.com/me/?post_type=case-study&p=55186

Setting Science-based Targets Across Hg's Portfolio

Situation

Hg was adopting science-based targets (SBT) per SBTi private equity guidance for its private equity investments.

Impact

Hg committed to SBTs, targeting a ~90% reduction in scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions across its 40+ companies by 2050.

Solutions

We were pleased to work with the Anthesis team on this project and are very happy with the support they provided. The team’s expertise in SBTs in Private Equity, combined with their attentiveness to our needs, made us comfortable to commit to the SBTi. They also made the submission process to the SBTi very smooth by helping out with the application to fulfil all requirements.”

Caroline Löfgren – Chief Sustainability Officer, Hg

Situation

In 2021, the Science-Based Target Initiative (SBTi) launched new Guidance for the private equity sector to enable the wide adoption of science-based targets (SBT) by private equity firms. The Guidance was authored by the SBTi and Anthesis, supported by an advisory group made up of 32 leading private equity firms.

Hg, a leading software and services investor and a key member of the advisory group, sought Anthesis’ support to road test the Guidance against its investments. The firm wanted to understand the implications for Hg in setting and meeting SBTs and the level of ambition required for adoption. Hg also wanted to comprehend the implications for Hg’s investments if Hg did not set SBTs.

Solution

Anthesis started by collating the data required to calculate Hg’s scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint and information on its investment portfolio, including the number of portfolio companies (PCs), and their company size by ‘invested capital’, and GHG emissions.

To understand how long it would take for Hg to meet its SBTs, Anthesis first prioritised which PCs would likely set SBTs based on each their existing Environmental Social Governance (ESG), GHG targets, and energy management progress. This prioritisation is a prerequisite to adopting the portfolio coverage approach for Hg’s proposed SBT.

An ‘invested capital’ metric was used to define the coverage (i.e. 100% of Hg’s invested capital needs to have a SBT by 2040) and the target was modelled under different scenarios:

  • Progressive – where PCs readily adopt SBTs
  • Follower – where PCs somewhat adopt SBTs
  • Laggard – where PCs struggle to adopt SBTs

The output of the modelling allowed Hg to establish when all in scope invested capital across its portfolio could be covered by SBTs.

Anthesis prepared the SBT submission material, including a scope 1 and scope 2 SBT for Hg’s operations and scope 3 Category 15 investments, evidencing the portfolio coverage model. SBTi approved Hg’s SBT ahead of announcement at the COP26 Private Equity SBT Guidance launch in November 2021.

Hg is now using a portfolio coverage tracking model, created by Anthesis, to track coverage, plan strategic influence and monitor success, including GHG emissions impact for Hg’s annual reporting progress.

Impact

Anthesis supported Hg to set a SBT, meaning its portfolio of 40+ companies must have their own individual SBTs by 2040, which could in time lead to an overall ~90% reduction in scope 1 and scope 2 GHG emissions and widespread scope 3 engagement impact across the portfolio by 2050.
