Dow and OPXBIO are partnering to develop an industrial-scale process for producing acrylic acid from sugar as a renewable alternative to petroleum-based production. They have made progress optimizing microbes to produce 3-hydroxypropionic acid from sugar and converting it to acrylic acid. Key challenges include sugar and natural gas price volatility impacting economics and properly sizing the first commercial plant. The goal is to commercialize the bio-acrylic acid process between 2014-2016.
Purchasers, specifiers and manufacturers are now faced with the challenge of identifying which product labels to trust. The good news is that robust guidance on what makes a credible ecolabel already exists – it just needs to be used. In addition, the recent proposed changes to the Federal Trade Commission’s Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims provide further screens to help sort through the crowd.
This presentation will highlight key elements from the most widely cited “standards for standards,” explore how Green Seal conducts standard-setting and certification, and share a practitioner perspective on what the revised FTC Guides may mean for the use of environmental labels and logos.

The Role of Eco-Labeling and Certification in Sustainable Brands' SuccessSustainable Brands
Nearly every brand today embarking on a sustainable brand journey faces the question at one stage or another: "Should I adopt or create an eco-label, pursue a particular certification, or manage to a particular industry ranking as part of my brand strategy?" The question is complex, and as illustrated by the recent case wherein Apple attempted to withdraw from its commitment to pursue EPEAT certification for it's products--stakeholder sentiment can be unclear on the topic until a misplaced decision is put forward. This panel, led by a senior representative of SustainAbility, conveys results of a recent brand sentiment exploration on the topic, and offers the perspective of industry leaders who have each given the topic a significant amount of thought. Expect to participate in a healthy conversation and count on leaving the session with a better sense of how to think about the topic given your own situation.

Exciting times for business: the value of farm carbon footprinting up the sup...Farming Futures
This document discusses why an individual's carbon footprint matters. It notes that consumers are increasingly concerned about sustainability and the environment. Many companies are taking steps to reduce their carbon emissions in response to this consumer demand. Reducing carbon footprints also makes financial sense as farmers with lower emissions have lower costs of production. The entire supply chain from farm to consumer must work together to lower carbon footprints in order to remain competitive and defend against potential criticism of their environmental impacts.
This document discusses the links between competitiveness and sustainability for companies. It outlines seven environmental value drivers that can benefit companies: 1) process efficiency, 2) buyer preferences, 3) access to more ecological international markets, 4) official business relationships, 5) environmental performance and competition in domestic markets, 6) incentive for innovation, and 7) lower risk profiles for funding. The document then examines how environmental performance can be incorporated into company valuation by affecting costs, earnings, cash flows, risks, and cost of capital.
This document proposes a new project called "Project Banzai" to create a new revenue stream for Brand Asset Valuator's (BAV) brand database.
