• 2007 – Sustainability becomes a strategic issue at <strong>DSM</strong><br />
• 2008 – Competence centre established<br />
• 2009 – Expanded to 2 experts<br />
• Focus on cradle to gate<br />
• Eco and carbon footprinting<br />
• <strong>2010</strong> – Expanded to network<br />
• Sustainability one of 4 key strategy drivers<br />
• Increase percentage of products with improved<br />
environmental performance compared to mainstream<br />
• Footprint data to be used as criterion for go/no go decisions<br />
in all projects<br />
• Sharing of footprint data with customers and suppliers to<br />
improve value chain impacts<br />

• ECO+ solutions are superior profitable products and<br />
services that have more ecological benefits than the<br />
mainstream competing solutions<br />
• The ecological benefit can be created at any stage of<br />
the lifecycle<br />
• ECO+ solutions create more value with less<br />
environmental impact<br />
• 80% of innovation pipeline to be ECO+ by 2015<br />
ECO+<br />
• <strong>LCA</strong> methodologies are required to determine if<br />
developments are Eco+<br />

Bio-based Chemicals : Succinic Acid<br />
17<br />
• Succinic acid currently used in coatings, engine<br />
coolants and pharmaceuticals<br />
• Replacing oil based succinic acid with biobased<br />
succinic acid<br />
- More cost effective<br />
- GHG emission reduction of >60%<br />
- <strong>LCA</strong> used to compare impacts of various<br />
production scenarios<br />
• New applications emerging as a result<br />
• Collaboration <strong>DSM</strong> – Roquette Joint venture<br />
(Reverdia)<br />
• Roquette: demonstration plant in France<br />
(operational since end 2009)<br />

EcoPaXX : the green performer<br />
20<br />
The green character of EcoPaXX<br />
EcoPaXX is a bio-based polymer:<br />
- Presently 70% of the polymer is derived from renewable resources<br />
- In the future: 100% (expected time ca. 5 yrs)<br />
- Renewable resources are not competing<br />
with the food chain<br />
- EcoPaXX is carbon neutral:<br />
- CO2 generated in production process<br />
- compensated by absorption in growth process<br />

Conclusions / considerations<br />
23<br />
• Huge global challenges; concerted approach needed<br />
• Technology can/will deliver solutions ; legislation may help<br />
• We need more creativity and ideas ; outside-in !<br />
• Open Innovation is a mindset based on trust<br />
• Construct co-operations with the longer term in mind<br />
• Just renewability is not enough as value proposition<br />
• <strong>LCA</strong> is an essential aid to sustainable innovation<br />
