2Voice of Financial Leader
- Investments Policy
- but also GHGs
- 2 New projects
- Efficiency investable
- Adaptation investable
- Communication Results/Policy Needs (May 2009)
Nick Robins, Head of Climate Change Centre of
Excellence
3Adaptation Narrow uncertainty gap to identify
capital priorities
Efficiency (cheapest, fastest, most under-used) -
understand investment opportunity required
policy innovations
4Voice of ITC Leader
1. Advanced technologies innovation
- ITC 2 of Global GHGs
- but Hi-growth
- Mobile China Climate Strategy
- Reduce own GHGs
- -40 (2005-10) intensity basis (7 Mn tons)
- Example cool servers not room (45 savings)
- Solar power where feasible
- Assist customer reductions
- Reduced travel
- E-boxes to recycle phones
- Public awareness via large workforce
2. Innovation in Green Packaging
3. Alternative Energy
4. Working with Suppliers
5. Involving Employees in Environmental Protection
Mr. Li Zhengmao, Vice President

6Feedback from the Floor
- Get/stay long term
- Specific financing packages for longer term
energy efficiency investments - Public banks best practice model
- 50 of GHG savings till 2030 from EE (Energy
Efficiency) - Always dedicate half time/resources to EE
- Cost increasingly driver
- need to factor in carbon cost into sector
investments (irrespective of where in world) - understand impacts of short term cost savings in
increasingly carbon constrained world
7Feedback from the Floor
- New policies (carrots sticks) to address
business model breakthroughs (not only tech
breakthrough) - Make ESCO model work also for continuous
cumulative incremental improvements - Leverage disruptive technology thinking for
disruptive employee communication - Powerful stakeholder base for behavioural change
- Putting C4C network 2 work
8Feedback from the Floor
- Preferential investments currently where CC risk
for own emissions better managed - Also recognise the value chain market solution
opportunities - Market valuation needs credible /common info
disclosure - VC model best practices?
- C4C as a network to agree /improve common
performance standards - Cooperative programmes with CDP WRI/WBCSD (GHG
reporting protocol)
9Feedback from the Floor
- No single / simple solutions we need all
options - Local London end-user ecotax enabled TNT electric
car introduction - Sector specific policy innovations
- Housing and Transport largest fastest growing GHG
growth - Multiple existing technology / solutions
available - End use legislation need to accelerate
implementation - Bigger sticks for existing technologies better
carrots for new innovations - Stronger direct business involvement (sector
expertise) in Government I.G. policy
development - Case histories to spread learnings

7 Key Elements for an Effective EEC Management
Program
13Case History SUMMARY
- Dow started its resource and energy efficiency
journey decades ago to ensure its viability /
long term sustainability - Effective efficiency programmes must be
integrated, global and supported at all levels.
Such programs yield substantive financial and
environmental benefits. - Ultra efficiency will be the key tool to address
the twin challenges of limited fossil fuel
resources and climate change. Dow has committed
to address both these via ambitious 2015 goals.
