WCC KPI code KPI 8-1 (SDG 8, KPI 1) Reference Standard SASB RT-CH-320a10 Definition of KPI 8-1: Essential The entity should disclose its total recordable incident rate (TRIR) for work-related injuries and illnesses. An injury or illness is considered a recordable incident if it results in any of the following: death, days away from work, restricted work or transfer to another job, medical treatment beyond first aid, or loss of consciousness. Additionally, a significant injury or illness diagnosed by a physician or other licensed health care professional is considered a recordable incident, even if it does not result in death, days away from work, restricted work or job transfer, medical treatment beyond first aid, or loss of consciousness. This definition is derived from U.S. 29 CFR 1904.7. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) provides additional resources for determining if injuries or illnesses are considered recordable incidents in its guidance for OSHA Forms 300, 300A, and 301. Data input: • The reporting entity is asked to provide the total recordable incident rate (TRIR) if possible. • Alternatively, the reporting entity may input the total number of recordable incidents, the total number of work-related fatalities, and the total hours worked by all employees.

WCC KPI code KPI 11-2 (SDG 11, KPI 2) Reference Standard None/Industry KPI Definition of KPI 11-2: Advanced The reporting entity should disclose what environmental management system (EMS) it uses. Environmental management systems are a means of ensuring effective implementation of an environmental management plan or procedures and compliance with environmental policy objectives and targets. A key feature in any effective EMS is the preparation of documented system procedures and instructions to ensure effective communication and continuity of implementation. There are certification systems for EMS ISO 14001 and EC's EMAS scheme which demonstrate that a system is operated to an internationally recognized standard. Alternatively, a customized system can be developed addressing the particular needs of the operation. The reporting entity should also disclose whether it has been certificated as a sustainable supplier, and the certification scheme used in this regard. CONTRIBUTION TO SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE (KPI 11-3) About KPI 11-3 Objective Show the industry’s contribution to sustainable communities and infrastructure by providing products design for use-phase resource efficiency. WCC KPI code KPI 11-3 (SDG 11, KPI 3) Reference Standard SASB RT-CH-410a.1 15 Definition of KPI 11-3: Essential Guidance for responding to remaining KPIs: The organization should report the number of its products that are designed to increase resource efficiency during their use phase. The organization shall also disclose the share of revenue from products designed for use-phase resource efficiency. Products designed to increase resource efficiency are defined as those that — through their use — can be shown among others to improve energy efficiency, eliminate or lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, reduce raw materials consumption, increase product longevity, and/or reduce water consumption. The use phase is defined as the course over which the entity’s product is used by a customer or consumer as a final product (e.g., coatings applied on a substrate) and/or the course over which the entity’s product is used by a customer or consumer to generate a final product (e.g., in a manufacturing or production process). A product should be considered to have been designed to increase use-phase resource efficiency if documentation shows that the entity has tested, modeled, or otherwise established the increase to resource efficiency its product delivers during its use phase. The scope of disclosure excludes products that impart improved resource efficiency in an ancillary, indirect, or minimal way (e.g., a conventional product that is slightly lighter than the previous generation of the product). Examples of products that increase resource efficiency include, but are not limited to, insulation materials, high-albedo paints and coating, fuel additives that result in more efficient combustion, energy-efficient lighting materials, additives or materials that extend the useful-life of use-phase products, materials that enable lightweight vehicles (e.g., polymers to replace metals), biofuels, solar films, solar shingles, and other renewable energy materials. 16 SDG 12: RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION SDG Targets: • 12.4 By 2020, achieve the environmentally sound management of chemicals and all wastes throughout their life cycle, in accordance with agreed international frameworks, and significantly reduce their release to air, water and soil in order to minimize their adverse impacts on human health and the environment • 12.5 By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling, and reuse • 12.a Support developing countries to strengthen their scientific and technological capacity to move towards more sustainable patterns of consumption and production Industry KPIs: • KPI 12-1: Waste Management • KPI 12-2: Reclaiming and Recycling Schemes WASTE MANAGEMENT (KPI 12-1) About KPI 12-1 Objective Show that the industry considers circularity and material efficiency measures.
