CHEP ENVIRONMENTAL CALCULATORA MODEL TO MEASURE
CHEP BENEFITS

• To help the industry retail to reduce its
  carbon footprint, CHEP developed an Environmental
  Benefits Calculator which measures, over a 10
  year period, the environmental benefits
  achievable using CHEP vs. White Exchange and/or
  Disposable One-Way pallets.
• The Operational Pooling Efficiencies of the
  CHEP pallet pool
• Through responsible use and conservation of
  Natural Resources (timber) during the entire
  pallet life-cycle (production and repair)
• Through the Carbon Sink effect and Oxygen from
  the timber from trees that not need to be cut
  when adopting the CHEP solution
• CO2 emissions generated by transport of pallets
  during their entire life-cycle (issue to
  Manufacturers, transport under load, collection
  from Distributors, repair, reissue, and disposal
  / recycling of scrap)

CHEP ENVIRONMENTAL CALCULATORVALIDATION
ENDORSEMENT - LEEDS UNIVERSITY

• After an appropriate period of model analysis
  and subsequent model
• defence by CHEP the University of Leeds considers
  that, notwithstanding
• the accuracy of Customer and CHEP input data, the
  claims made by the
• model are conservative and adequately prove that
  environmental savings
• and benefits can be made by switching to the use
  of CHEP pallets.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT BENEFITS RESULTS What
makes CHEPs performance that much better ?

• 1. Pallet Lifecycle differences (leading to a
  substantial reduced need for timber)
• CHEP new pallet purchase disciplines ensure a
  longer pallet lifecycle.
• Consistency in Quality of pallets and timber
• Usage of Recycled Timber for pallet blocks
• Consistent and frequent pallet maintenance of the
  CHEP pallet pool.
• Less severe pallet damage and seldom total loss
  pallets
• Substantially less pallet losses with CHEP
• Better Asset Control (is a KEY competence of CHEP
  and business differentiator)
• 2. Pooling Efficiencies in Transport (delivering
  a substantial reduction of CO2)
• Substantial less empty pallet km with CHEP over
  the total life-cycle versus white
• The density of the CHEP Service Plant Network in
  Europe
• CHEP moves empty pallets most of the time in full
  trailer loads
• There is NO White pallet exchange failures at
  time of delivery with CHEP
• CHEP transports shredded timber whereas White
  Wood totally damaged pallets
• CHEP centralizes stock and transport management
  for the whole of Europe.
