“The earth is not ours, it is a treasure we hold
in trust for future generations”
If the World’s Population Lived Like…
Water & Energy NEXUS
Water
• Clean water is one of our most critical
resources and it is increasingly under
threat globally
• 1/6 of the world’s population doesn’t
have access to safe water for drinking
• 41% of the Earth’s population lives in
water-stressed areas
Energy
• The demand for electricity will double
by 2030
• China, the world's largest energy
consumer, is projected to consume
more than twice as much energy as the
United States in 2040
Social Responsibility as part of Sustainability
• Of every 100 hospitalized patients at any
given time, 7 in developed and 10 in
developing countries will acquire at least
one health care-associated infections.
• MRSA, drug-resistant bacteria, infects
94,000 people annually in US; now moved
from hospitals into community
• E-Coli, Salmonella incidents common,
outbreaks cost companies millions
• Lost productivity due to illness cost more
than $120 billion annually in the US
Infection prevention and food safety are critical
parts of Sustainability

Consumer vs. Professional
All professional users of cleaning chemicals are consumers, but they
work with different restrictions in those environments
Consumer
• Restriction:
– Chemical hazard
• Typical Solution:
– Time
• Opportunity:
– Time based systems e.g. enzymes
Professional
• Restriction:
– Time/Productivity
• Typical Solution:
– Chemistry
• Opportunity:
– Closed-loop
– Dispensing/dosing
– Mechanical

Recent Record of Environmental Leadership
When Newsweek magazines released its 2012 Green Rankings of the 500 largest
publicly owned companies in the United States, Sealed Air ranked number 2 among
the 34 companies in the “materials” industry. Among all 500 companies, Sealed Air
ranked 174 in the survey, up 97 positions from last year.
Recognised by Fortune as a top 10 global innovator and
socially responsible leader on their list of the “World’s Most
Admired Companies” in 2012 ,2013 AND number 1 in 2014
Diversey Care is one of only a handful of companies accepted by the World
Wildlife Fund’s Climate Savers Programme. This is a 10 year commitment to
reduce our CO2eq. values by an absolute value of 25% versus the 2003 baseline
“Diversey Care has set a new standard for addressing climate change. The company is stepping
into uncharted territory with an initiative that should serve as a blueprint for the entire industry.”
Carter Roberts, President & CEO WWF

The result of the Climate Savers commitment
Diversey was the first in the industry to make such as
commitment and the first WWF CS member to provide a
‘sustainable business case’
At the end of 2013, Diversey operations recorded a
reduction in absolute CO2 emissions by 48.5% from
2003 levels.
This commitment focused on global operations, in four
key areas:
1) company fleet transportation,
2) manufacture sites and operations,
3) offices and laboratories,
4) business air travel.
“We learned that Climate protection creates value by
inspiring new ways to conduct business, unlocking
innovation and customer partnerships” – Ilham Kadri
And work upstream and downstream to:
- help customers reduce their emissions through the use of our products and
solutions
- collaborate with suppliers to collectively reduce greenhouse gas footprints
Soap for Hope
• The project gives the needy a chance to work on their own soap gives them a chance to own
their own project and creates intimacy.
• The Diversey Care network into local NGOs make sure that the soap goes directly to the people
in need
• Only Diversey Care has the touch with the NGOs Network making it easy for business
stakeholders to contribute to the community
Involving local teams creates the intimacy with the
community while the generating employee
engagement and pride for helping their own
neighborhood
Along with other forms of aid, the soap repurposed
during the last event has been forwarded already
to Philippines for the Typhoon Aid (Nov ’13)
Re-imagine the Soap Project
•
Cold Press revitalizes the Soap Project and makes this sustainability effort more sustainable,
reducing costs for transportation and localizing the efforts bringing the soap closer to the
people who need it most

The Bittim Soap Project
• The Anatolian Peninsula has been marked as the cradle of
civilization still hosting traditions and mysteries dating back
thousands of year
• Several years ago, Diversey Care embarked on a mission to
resurrect an old Anatolian recipe, an organic soap derived from
Bittim* (from the same family as pistachios)
• Women in Southeastern Turkey were trained for safe soap
manufacturing techniques and were empowered to provide
soap for guests of hotels in Turkey to experience the value of
this traditional handmade soap with the satisfaction of being
part of a charity effort
The way Forward
