promoting these practices within our
supply chain.
We partner with companies and
organizations to promote and apply
sustainable practices.
We communicate openly about our
activities and maintain a constructive
dialogue with stakeholders.
2013 Targets
Partners

Sustainability
“Sustainable development is development that meets the needs
of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their needs.” (Brundtland Report, 1987)

The Nexus of Sustainability &
Environmental Management
“Nexus”
Environmental
Management
Sustainability
12
Bunge’s Environmental Sustainability Metrics (GR4)
 EN3: Direct & Indirect Energy Consumption
 EN8: Total Water Withdrawal
 EN15: Total Direct Greenhouse Gas Emissions
 EN16: Total Indirect Greenhouse Gas Emissions
 EN18: Greenhouse Gas Emissions Intensity
 EN23: Total Waste By Type & Disposal Method
 EN31: Environmental Expenditures & Investments
13
Why Have a Sustainability Program?
Environmental Management & Compliance Benefits
(Nexus)
• Compliance Burdens are Lowered by Reducing Air Emissions, Waste
Water, and Wastes.
• Environmental Contamination Risks
There’s Money to be Saved
• Improving Energy Efficiency Lowers Costs
• Reducing Water Usage and Waste Water Discharge Lowers Costs
• Reducing Waste Lowers Costs
Needed to Meet Customer Expectations
• Answering Customer Questionnaires
Strengthen Corporate Reputation and Brand
• Reporting & Disclosure (e.g., GRI Sustainability, CDP, etc.)
14
What is Within the “Nexus”?
Reducing Waste Water can Reduce Discharged
Pollutants, which can Improve Discharge Compliance and
Reduce Discharge Costs
Improving Energy Efficiency Can Reduce Air Emissions
and Can Reduce Emission Charges while Reducing Fuel
and Electricity Cost
Reducing Waste Generation Reduces Disposal Costs
This not only makes Environmental Management Sense, it
also makes Business Sense.
Improved Sustainability = Improved Environmental
Management = Good Business Strategy
15
Bunge 2013 Sustainability Goals
(Baseline 2010)
Reduction of Waste Disposal Rate by 10%.
Reduction of Water Use Rate by 10%
Reduction of GHG Emission Rate by 5%.

Bunge North America’s
Sustainability Results
Reduced Environmental Impacts
• Greenhouse Gas Reduced by 680,000 metric tons
(Equivalent to 124,000 cars off the road for one year.)
• Water Usage Reduced by 2.1 billion gallons
(Equivalent to 67 million people eliminating water consumption for one day
or 3,190 Olympic size swimming pools.)
• Waste Disposal Reduced by 44 million kg
(Equivalent to the daily household trash from 22 million people.)
Reduced Total Annual Waste by 40% and Recycles/Reuses about 47%
of the Remaining Waste.
Reduced Sustainability Associated Costs by approximately $30 million
(steam & electricity, water & wastewater, solid & liquid wastes)

“Field to Market”
Bunge is part of Field to Market, an alliance for Sustainable Agriculture,
which includes U.S. grower organizations, agribusinesses, food
companies and conservation organizations.
Multilateral effort to promote sustainability in production agriculture,
focusing on water, soil and habitat conservation.
Fieldprint Calculator helps farmers assess how their operational
decisions affect overall sustainability performance – land, energy,
water use, GHG emissions and soil loss.

  • 13. 13 Why Have a Sustainability Program? Environmental Management & Compliance Benefits (Nexus) • Compliance Burdens are Lowered by Reducing Air Emissions, Waste Water, and Wastes. • Environmental Contamination Risks There’s Money to be Saved • Improving Energy Efficiency Lowers Costs • Reducing Water Usage and Waste Water Discharge Lowers Costs • Reducing Waste Lowers Costs Needed to Meet Customer Expectations • Answering Customer Questionnaires Strengthen Corporate Reputation and Brand • Reporting & Disclosure (e.g., GRI Sustainability, CDP, etc.)
  • 14. 14 What is Within the “Nexus”? Reducing Waste Water can Reduce Discharged Pollutants, which can Improve Discharge Compliance and Reduce Discharge Costs Improving Energy Efficiency Can Reduce Air Emissions and Can Reduce Emission Charges while Reducing Fuel and Electricity Cost Reducing Waste Generation Reduces Disposal Costs This not only makes Environmental Management Sense, it also makes Business Sense. Improved Sustainability = Improved Environmental Management = Good Business Strategy

Editor's Notes

  1. Alberto mentioned that Bunge has a global, integrated and balanced portfolio. To be specific, we have operations in all the major crop production and consumption markets, with more than 400 facilities in over 40 countries.We also benefit from leading positions in key markets in agribusiness, food & ingredients and sugar & bioenergy. And, we have a fertilizer business that is well scaled and focused.[click]
  2. We are particularly proud of our asset network, which touches the world’s largest agricultural growth areas—North and South America, and Eastern Europe—and major areas of consumption growth—particularly Asia.[click]It is complemented by marketing offices, joint ventures and other commercial activities in additional countries.[click]
  3. In June of 2010 the Morristown facility hosted a kaizen in an effort to develop a plant wide program for recycling of facility trash/wasteThe goal was to develop a program that was both environmentally sustainable and met the expectations of the Company in our desire to be an environmentally sustainable facility
