are looking to green
innovation as a key to future
profitability — and also as a

This document is an overview of Maddock Douglas’ perspective on the business opportunity illustrated
by the MapChange 2010 quadrant study. We would like to thank all of the leaders (in all of the sectors)
who participated in the study for their interviews, insight and courage to deliver innovation that is good

Food & Beverage MD’s MapChange2010 Perspective
Can your next drink or snack really change the world? Maybe not, but the
company that makes it certainly could. With tremendous distribution networks,
packaging needs and consumer demand, these companies have a large climate
footprint as a baseline and a lot of room to improve.

According to the MapChange Study, General Mills has a perceived sustainability


score of 82 — but the brand’s actual score is 49. We think that’s a pretty big
difference. Currently, that gap doesn’t seem to be hurting their numbers — or
the numbers of other industry-leading brands. For example, General Mills was
named a top corporate citizen by Corporate Responsibility Magazine in seven
responsibility categories with a lower-weighted emphasis on green. However,
the short-lived advantage of a strong, but shallow green perception, alone, will
likely only last so long. We believe it is not what large companies stand to
gain — but what they stand to lose that’s important.

Some brands in this sector are setting new standards for business as
a whole, while others seem lost in the supermarket. All of them make
products known for casual times with friends and family; as a whole, we think
the sector needs work to avoid being known for being too relaxed about
green innovation leadership.

Apparel
MD’s MapChange2010 Perspective
Consumer wardrobes—and the fickle world of fashion—may change at
breakneck pace, but does it change the world? We think it can. The Apparel
sector has seen notable leadership on climate issues from some companies,
but no green innovation from others. The unpredictable nature of the category
suggests there is an opening for challenger brands and/or new product lines
from exemplary green leaders like Nike.

Unlike with other market segments, data suggests that green clothing appears
to be an incremental new category rather than intruding on the share
of traditional clothing (according to the nonprofit trade association Organic
Exchange). Consumers are apparently not switching to green clothing, but instead
are adding a few green items to their existing wardrobe (source: Mintel Green
Living, January 2009). Curiously, it appears the largest apparel manufacturer
in the world (and its portfolio of lifestyle brands with loyal enthusiast fan bases),
“should” be dominating with green innovation, but doesn’t look that way.

The supply of organic cotton appears to be lagging behind the increased demand
from leading manufacturers, which makes availability in preferred retail channels
spotty. While the entire sector has faced scrutiny on developing world labor issues
for years, we believe the time has also come for the industry to realize it has an
impact on climate change, environmental and sustainability issues, as well (e.g.,
pesticide and land use for cotton, supply chain and labor factor cost optimization).

Household MD’s MapChange2010 Perspective
Most of the necessities of day-to-day life fall within the Household products
sector. It appears that consumers (especially parents) align their basic daily
needs with values that relate to a safe, clean house and secure future — which
includes supporting companies that are addressing climate change.

But the production of basic household goods is resource intensive; it has a


multifaceted impact on the environment through packaging, disposal and more.

That is why we think this sector is a very visible example of innovation being
good for the world AND the bottom line.

Consumers are ready to pay for sustainable innovations. Although they might
be overwhelmed by choice (especially in this sector), the majority appear
to believe that every choice can/should be a green choice — evidenced by
green cleaning products having successfully made the transition to mainstream
acceptance and widespread availability through retail distribution.

Consumers also have opinions on who’s making the effort. More often than not,
it’s the popularity of new products that will drive higher green perception scores.
We believe the market for green cleaning products will continue to outperform
conventional cleaning products and continue to grow. Accordingly, even
though commoditization is affecting both the industry leaders and the followers,
many companies in this sector are injecting innovation into everything from
their new products and services to packaging and social technology adoption in
order to stand out.

Internet, Software & Media

MD’s MapChange2010 Perspective


major Internet and software companies are some of the largest corporations in
the world — with employees across the globe, countless suppliers and distributors,
and a stronghold on our hearts and minds. Innovation has always been the name
of the game in Silicon Valley, but we expect the way these successful companies
affect climate change leadership during the next decade will be among their
most important ideas to date.

How do the best-known players in this sector stack up on climate protection?


It appears that Google, Microsoft and Yahoo rank higher in consumer perception
(despite having significantly lower “actual” scores) than General Electric —
considered to be one of the pioneers of green products and green communication.
Relatively speaking, there is a distinct perceived difference between producing
tangible products and producing something as ethereal (and seemingly
nonpolluting) as binary code.

Media companies, while perhaps best known for their role in worldwide
communications, are large conglomerates that have their hands in scores of
different businesses. With their astounding influence in the marketplace,
we anticipate this group will need to play an even larger role in delivering green
innovation across their portfolio and in providing substantive green information
to audiences that are ready for it. We believe the ones that take the lead will
do more good AND make more money.

Electronics MD’s MapChange2010 Perspective
Whether you are wired or wireless, you know the companies in the Electronics
sector well. The best of these companies seem to make sure the latest technology
is consistent with the most current thinking about corporate climate leadership.
They’re doing everything from reducing emissions in their production processes,
to offering new products that require less energy, to taking back products that
are obsolete and turning them into the next big thing.

The range of scores in this sector is intriguing. Most notably, this sector showcased
one of the strongest examples of a company with both well-aligned “actual” and
“perceived” scores (i.e., HP had a differential of only 10 points). It appears HP has
been producing sustainability-driven products since the 1990s — and a remarkable
communications campaign touting them as well. We think by acting early on this
future trend and sticking close to sound consumer insights, HP widened the
gap between the market leader and the followers. In short, HP has had more
time to fail faster — to develop processes, materials, practices and partnerships
(e.g., Sustainability Consortium, their in-house think tank).

In a category where many of the products are disposed of within their first year of
existence, we suspect companies view the endless life cycle analysis of their new
product pipeline as an immense challenge that takes the notion of real innovation
to a higher level. We believe that if you’re not already growing with green or
going there soon, you’re probably behind your competitors already.

Airlines
MD’s MapChange2010 Perspective
The airline industry runs on carbon-based fuels, plain and simple. It’s an industry
that requires innovation to drive growth and lead in the fight against global
warming. Note to airlines: “It’s hard to read the label when you’re inside
the jar.” We anticipate the first airline to get themselves “outside the jar”
(where they can see all the viable business opportunities) will reap the leadership
benefits. Maybe the open-minded innovators at Virgin Airlines are working on
this already.

It appears that a few of the airlines have made significant effort towards
improving the energy efficiency of their aircraft and are working to incorporate
their climate-focused programs into their overall business strategies and
innovation pipeline. But overall, we think the entire sector lags behind in actual
scores while decent perceived scores leave most of them grouped into
THE LUCKY quadrant. This is a dangerous place to be, considering it appears
that none has shown any leadership in supporting public policy relevant
to climate change, and they have only shown limited work in setting goals,
measurement and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

We think public relations efforts supporting flight offsets are the least they
can do, but we believe this is a weak attempt at planning for the future of
your business.

Hotels MD’s MapChange2010 Perspective
The world’s largest hotel chains seem to be seeking practical ways to address a
range of broad environmental impacts in their operations, from toxic chemical use
to indoor air quality to water. With its large number of “one-time-use” items and
water consumption emphasis, we think the hotel industry can see the potential
financial benefits of integrating green innovation into their future business strategy.
However, few appear to be aligning such actions as part of a larger and more
comprehensive carbon management strategy for competitive advantage.

Marriott has made significant changes to its massive supply chain by replacing
depleted inventories of supplies with newly developed green products, including
recycled plastic key cards and pillows made of 100% recycled material. But an
average sector score of 19 out of a possible 100 suggests the sector has much
work ahead and lots of opportunity for leaders to make progress.

We believe the brands that fall into THE LUCKY and THE LAGGARDS
quadrants are overdue to demonstrate tangible progress before the court of
public opinion makes its ruling. We suspect fixing this is a clear opportunity for
green leadership. As an example, some competitive chains offer smaller boutique
hotels that are completely carbon neutral.

Note: We need to see this sector innovate around getting much more serious
about energy use and greenhouse gas emissions reduction. The industry overall
has been struggling to adopt a certification program that can be applied
universally. Many of the forward-thinking hotels appear to be seeking special
LEED certification with the U.S. Green Building Council.

Food Services MD’s MapChange2010 Perspective
The Food Services sector is a fixture of every mall food court or freeway exit.
It’s the fast and convenient comfort food we see everywhere — in the form of
cafés, fast food chains and affordable, family-friendly restaurants. In the past,
the sector has focused on issues like packaging, animal welfare and fair trade,
but we think it is now under a spotlight for its impact on the planet.

We believe Starbucks shows that alignment of performance and perception


does happen. The coffee giant’s MapChange 2010 “perceived” and “actual”
scores are nearly identical. McDonald’s, on the other hand, is no stranger to the
consequences of communication being too far out in front of actual performance.
In 2009, McDonald’s took their lumps in the media for what some called textbook
“greenwashing” when hundreds of European McDonald’s changed their famous
red sign behind the Golden Arches to green (source: Chicago Tribune), while it
appears simultaneously making vague claims about environmental action rather
than embarking on more tangible and consumer satisfying green innovations.

The data suggests that “green” is confusing for many consumers.


For instance, it appears that some equate generally good, and/or healthy things,
with green as suggested by the incongruous MapChange scores for Wendy’s.

“The public has difficulty discerning between sustainability and social innovation…
so perhaps Wendy’s’ healthier offerings have formed its image as a green
company.” — The New York Times, Green Inc. Blog 2.25.10. We anticipate that
there is an opportunity — particularly in this category — for a leader to control
the language and the rate of change.

Consumer Shipping
MD’s MapChange2010 Perspective
The consumer shipping industry — or the logistics/express delivery industry, as
it’s sometimes called — has a considerable climate impact. With so many packages
traveling by ground and air all over the world every day, the industry’s annual
greenhouse gas emissions could run into the millions of tons. The results for the
four leading shippers — DHL (and its parent Deutsche Post World Net), the U.S.
Postal Service, UPS and FedEx — suggests an industry that has begun to address
its climate impact, but has a long way to go.

Commercial shippers UPS and DHL score about equally well in how green
their actions are, but when it comes to consumer perception of the two brands,
It appears “Brown” delivers green to its competitive advantage — with much
higher perceived scores than DHL. These large discrepancies are common
throughout the study.

These gaps reinforce the need for individual brands to deliberately distinguish
themselves by constantly innovating — and proudly communicating their true
sustainability more accurately, more consistently and more transparently. We
believe there is no greater advantage than a rich innovation pipeline.

Banks
MD’s MapChange2010 Perspective
By 2020, green practices will influence 66% of consumers when they choose
a financial service provider. (source: April 2009 Mintel forecast estimates that
in 2020, two thirds or “66% of U.S. consumers will be classified as True or Light
Greens, meaning that green practices will play a role in their choice of financial
services providers” — up from 51% in 2010). We believe those who are ahead in
complying with earth-friendly legislation and satisfying consumer preference will
fulfill the unmet needs in the market faster than the competition. They will likely
drive profit to the bottom line and take market share from others.

Take CitiGroup for example. CitiGroup has an actual sustainability score of 67 —


the highest score in the banking sector. Yet CitiGroup is rated 6th out of 12
by consumers in terms of sustainability with a perceived score of 49. This gap
indicates that, while CitiGroup is taking the initiative to go eco-friendly, their
efforts are not readily recognized by consumers (because those efforts are not
necessarily customer facing).

For those with a lower actual score, like Capital One (12), and higher perceived
score (57), we think the opportunity to infuse more sustainability practices into
innovative products, services and business models is just as large.

We believe the gap in scores doesn’t represent a glaring problem for most
banks, yet. Currently, it represents opportunity.
