Which risk types are considered in your organization's climate-related risk assessments? | Our collaborative approach to sustainable apparel design has produced a number of important environmental breakthroughs for our enduring brands, including reducing the amount of water used in the finishing process, increasing the use of cotton farmed to higher environmental, social and economic standards, and increasing the amount of recycled materials in our products. Our innovative WaterLess™ process approaches the decisions made in the design process in a different way, reducing the amount of water used in the finishing process. For instance, by simply removing water from stone washes or combining multiple wet cycle processes, we can significantly reduce water usage — up to 96 percent for some styles. Since launching the WaterLess™ process in 2011, we have saved more than 1 billion liters of water in the manufacturing of LS&Co. products, including 30 million liters of fresh water saved through reuse and recycling. By 2020, the Levi's brand aims to make 80 percent of its products using WaterLess™ techniques, up from nearly 67 percent in 2018. To date, we've used 11.9 million recycled bottles for products such as Levi's® 511™ Skinny jeans, Levi's® Trucker jackets and the women's Levi's® Boyfriend Skinny jeans. In 2018, the costs associated with re-envisioning our apparel design, sourcing and production processes to reduce environmental impacts, include investments in research and development which fall within the normal course of business and incur zero additional costs. | 0 | 370,672 |

Please indicate if your city-wide emissions have increased, decreased, or stayed the same since your last emissions inventory, and describe why. | Suwon has set a reduction target based on its 2005 emissions. In 2019, emissions decreased by 2.3% compared to 2005, and emissions per capita decreased by 16.6%. Although the effect of oil price on transport sector emissions is greatly affected, the total amount of greenhouse gas has slightly decreased despite the drop in oil prices compared to 2018, and the amount of greenhouse gas emissions per vehicle also decreased by 20.8% compared to 2005. This is analyzed as the result of policy promotion such as improvement of fuel efficiency of manufactured cars, support for electric vehicle purchase and expansion of charging infrastructure, eco-mobility activation project, and establishment of a wide area transportation network.Greenhouse gas emissions per unit energy decreased by 5% compared to 2005, indicating that fuels in the energy industry and buildings are being converted to low-carbon energy sources. In 2018, the worst heat wave in history caused a surge in energy use in the building sector, but in 2019 there was no abnormal climate, which had an impact on the reduction in building sector emissions. In addition, the transition to low-carbon fuel, expansion of new and renewable energy, use of high-efficiency equipment, expansion of eco-friendly buildings, expansion of low-carbon living practices through citizen improvement, and waste reduction policies are important factors that continue the flow of greenhouse gas reduction. | 1 | 14,738 |

Please provide information specifically on the impact of the COVID-19 economic response on climate action in your city and synergies between COVID-19 recovery interventions and climate action. | The City of Toronto’s Electric Vehicle Strategy (“EV Strategy”) identifies a range of actions to help the City achieve its 2050 goal of having all transportation powered by zero carbon energy sources. This is one of the key goals identified in TransformTO, the City’s climate action strategy. The EV Strategy is one of many initiatives informing Toronto’s approach to sustainable transportation. It focuses on activities for passenger light duty vehicle electrification (i.e. personal vehicles, which include cars, vans, trucks and SUVs, for personal and shared use), which represented 30% of the City’s GHG emissions in 2017. Meanwhile, the City has a wide range of other transportation and land use policies, programs, and infrastructure initiatives that are either underway or planned to increase the use of more sustainable transportation modes (e.g. walking, cycling, or public transit).By using an electric drivetrain, EVs eliminate tailpipe emissions, which can lead to a number of benefits for the City and its residents and businesses including: • Reducing GHG emissions: Local GHG emissions for EVs are much lower than those of gasoline vehicles. A 2018 study using Ontario’s average grid electricity determined that EVs can release as little as 4% of the CO2eq emissions of a gasoline vehicle; • Improving resident health: Air quality improvements, noise pollution reduction, and a reduction in the urban heat island effect are three key benefits of transportation electrification; • Strengthening the local economy: As EVs cost less to operate and maintain, EV owners will have more disposable income for non-transportation needs (once the total cost of ownership reaches parity with gasoline vehicles); EVs can help support the optimal use of electricity generation by leveraging vehicle-grid integration technologies; and new business and job opportunities can present itself through growth in the clean-tech sector.

Please describe the main goals of your city’s adaptation efforts and the metrics / KPIs for each goal. | Cities face a big challenge when it comes to tackling climate change because they generate 70% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Many of them are therefore adapting their agenda and adopting measures to reduce GHG emissions, minimise dependence on fossil fuels, improve effi ciency, reduce metabolic fl ows and increase resilience. All of those measures are geared towards improving the quality of life and sustainability of cities. At COP21 in Paris, Barcelona presented the Barcelona’s Commitment to the Climate (CBC), promoted by over a thousand businesses, citizen organisations and schools linked to the More Sustainable Barcelona network, signatories of the 2012-2022 Citizen Commitment to Sustainability and Barcelona City Council. This declaration reaffi rms previous municipal commitments (Covenant of Mayors on Energy and Covenant of Mayors on Adaptation) and defi nes Barcelona’s roadmap for 2015-2017, where city citizens and the City Council set out the priorities and the challenges to be overcome by their joint efforts. The Barcelona’s Commitment to the Climate goals and targets for 2030 are as follows: • As regards mitigation, to reduce its levels of CO2 equivalent emissions by 40% per capita compared to those for 2005. • With regard to adaptation, to increase the urban green space by 1.6 km2 , in other words, 1 m2 for each current resident.

Provide details of opportunities identified with the potential to have a substantive financial or strategic impact on your business. | CenturyLink recognises the importance of responsible Corporate Social Governance and of the particular need to extend this to environmental issues such as climate change. CenturyLink has set emissions reduction targets approved by the science-based targets Initiative and has implemented a number of measures toward achieving these. We support the implementation of energy management systems certified to ISO 50001, have programs of energy efficiency improvements across our portfolio, and but renewable energy in several of the regions in which we operate. The cost of management is based upon the cost of reporting our response to climate change and sustainability, in part through the calculation of our carbon footprint and reporting to CDP, as well as other sustainability reports. This is based upon internal hours and the cost of external third-party support. Some associated costs in respect of Environmental and Energy Management Systems (ISO 14001, ISO 50001) are included, the majority however being considered Business as Usual. We have not included the cost of the energy efficiency initiatives as this is considered part of our business-as-usual cost. However, we have included the cost of some of our energy efficiency and carbon reduction projects in our answer to question 4.3b. The cost comprises; $50,000 internal hours CDP + $150,000 consultancy hours CDP = $200,000 total cost. | 1 | 476,681 |
Provide details of your climate-related supplier engagement strategy. | In 2018, we actively engaged with our suppliers using our own in-house supplier sustainability audit program, as well as CDP Supply Chain, focusing on our Global Supply Management Asia (GSMA) business region (as this is where we perceive our largest exposure lies). Collaboration with our GSMA suppliers introduced projects to measure and reduce their emission footprints. In 2018, we conducted 234 raw material, purchased component and finished goods supplier sustainability and social accountability audits on suppliers ranking them on a green, yellow, orange, red protocol based on their performance against our criteria. This is an increase from 228 supplier sustainability and social accountability audits in 2017, which we consider a success. This is a rolling program, so suppliers can expect a minimum of one audit every three years. In 2018, we expanded our CDP Supply Chain program to 452 of our suppliers compared to 255 in 2017, also considered a success. Comparing 2018 with 2017 shows a small plateau in CDP Supply Chain response rate as we increase the number of suppliers responding, however the number of suppliers responding rose from 198 in 2017 to 344 in 2018. As part of our ongoing commitment to working with our supply chain on emission reductions, we are constantly educating and guiding our suppliers by providing mentoring and advice. This engagement is impactful because it gives us the ability to inform new supply chain partners of SBD's supply chain sustainability goals and leads to a greater understanding, reporting and improvement of the supplier's operations. Additionally, we can further mentor and educate repeat responding suppliers as they seek to improve their performance. Our measure of success in this area is twofold. First, we see the number of supplier sustainability audits and suppliers responding to CDP supply chain on the rise on an annual basis (see above numbers). Second, we see the supplier awareness level and commitment relating to sustainability or emission reductions increase. | 1 | 472,484 |

It is not a KDP-only number. $100M x 100% of this multi-partner industry fund = $100M. Regardless of pending legislation which we monitor, KDP is working to ensure all of our packaging is designed to be recyclable by 2025. This includes working to replace or re-design components of packaging that may prove detrimental to collection, sortation, or re-processing. Additionally, KDP is working with specific rPET manufacturers to secure supply of high quality rPET resin that will meet the needs for our bottles. KDP supports numerous initiatives that improve recycling, such as our recent work at the beverage industry level. In October 2019, KDP together with Coca-Cola and PepsiCo launched the Every Bottle Back initiative, a breakthrough effort to reduce the industry's use of new plastic by making significant investments to improve the collection of the industry's valuable plastic bottles so they can be made into new bottles. Critically, the initiative will improve the quality and availability of recycled plastic in key regions of the country by directing the equivalent of $400 million to TRP and Closed Loop Partners through a new $100 million industry fund that will be matched three-to-one by other grants and investors. The investments will be used to improve sorting, processing and collection of recyclables in areas with the biggest infrastructure gaps to help increase the amount of recycled plastic available to be remade into beverage bottles. | 1 | 383,513 |

Account for your organization’s Scope 3 emissions, disclosing and explaining any exclusions. | Tennant Company's Product Regulatory Affairs team actively engages to understand regulatory implications before they take effect. Being proactive on regulations enables product and solution introduction before regulatory change takes effect. The team is involved in each product development project, as well as product development roadmap governance. This provides long-term regulatory insight to the product planning process. One example is anticipating the OSHA Respirable Crystalline Silica Standards now applied in a number of U.S. industries (General Industry and Maritime, Construction). We developed and validated products and solutions to help businesses limit worker exposure to crystalline silica - before the standards took effect. We launched the products in 2017, before the first steps of industry compliance were required in 2018. We are working to educate customers on how they can reduce environmental impact and improve worker safety via our direct sales force, marketing campaigns, blogs and website. We have realized incremental revenue from launching these products to address the need but cannot disclose specific amounts. While this environmental improvement does not involve carbon emissions directly, it is a good example of the strategies we use to realize opportunities which are climate-related.When customers buy new models like those equipped to handle silica dust, they are typically more energy and fuel efficient than displaced models, avoiding future emissions. | 0 | 474,150 |

Please give a general description and introduction to your city including your city’s reporting boundary in the table below. | The state of Nevada, in particular the Lower Colorado River System which includes Clark County, experienced a significant drought from 2000 – 2016. Based on the Palmer Drought Severity Index which measures relative dryness or wetness, this 17- year drought is the largest and most persistent drought for the West on historical record. During this time, the Colorado River Basin experienced its lowest 16-year period of inflow in over 100 years of record keeping. Reservoir storage in the Colorado River system declined from nearly full to about half of capacity during this timeframe. In January 2014, the U.S. Department of Agriculture designated nine Nevada counties, including Clark County, as primary natural disaster areas due to the drought. For perspective on the severity of this drought, the U.S. Drought Monitor sets the standards for the location and intensity of droughts. These standards include four levels of droughts, ranging from D1 (abnormally dry) to D4 (exceptional drought). From 2000-2016, Clark County experienced D3-D4 “extreme” drought conditions over five periods in 2003, 2004, 2007, 2014, and 2015. According to climate scientists, there is an 80 to 90 percent chance of another 10-plus year drought occurring this century, with a realistic threat of an epic 30- to 40-year dry spell or “mega-drought.” | 0 | 190,570 |

Provide details on the initiatives implemented in the reporting year in the table below. | Exelon has been working to increase capacity at its existing nuclear power plants through equipment optimization and efficiency improvements. The result is increased carbon free emissions electrical base load generation that displaces fossil generation plants on the grid. In 2017, Exelon Nuclear increased the capacity of its Calvert Cliff plant by 18.4 MW (9 MW at equity share); and in early 2018, it completed uprates on Climate Cliffs Unit 1, and Peach Bottom Units 1 & 2 by a total of 59 MW (29.5 MW at equity share). Exelon Generation has placed into service projects representing 575 MWs of new nuclear generation (uprates at existing plants) since 2008, resulting in over 4.5 million MWh annually, providing reliable energy, avoiding over 3.5 million mtCO2e and lessening the need for new plant construction. Estimated annual CO2e savings is based on fossil generation displaced by the new generation installed in 2017. This new nuclear capacity (MW) helps towards our emissions goals (ABS1 and Int1) by minimizing generation at our fossil plants. Savings is reported as zero since this initiative generates increased revenue for the corporation (not a savings). Payback is based on expectations at the time of investment, and actual payback would be dependent on market prices and generation sales. This was counted as 1 project implemented in 4.3a, with 3 uprate projects underway for completion in 2018. | 1 | 345,465 |

The public and private sector have been working alongside our communities to deal with the immediate social and economic impacts of COVID-19, with many volunteering, adapting, and offering support at this time of crisis. Despite the devastating impacts of Covid-19 over the course of 2020 and 2021, the city’s determination and cross-party commitment to achieving Net Zero status by 2030 remains undiminished. It is increasingly clear that the crisis that we are facing now must a pivotal moment in our transition to a low carbon future. Despite the enormous challenges of Covid-19 to date, there has been no let-up in our overall city-wide commitment and drive towards Net Zero and in many cases, there has been an acceleration of Net Zero activity across the Council and partner organisations.The COVID-19 pandemic adds additional challenges and will place further demand on health services and social care, which already operate at near capacity during the winter season. During the pandemic, there has been greater focus on other inherent risks to physical and mental health, wellbeing and social care of the city's residents arising from climate change impacts, and a renewed and enhanced focus on emergency planning, resilience and ensuring effective service delivery during extreme / emergency events.However, we want to see a Green New Deal to rebuild a just and sustainable economy, that delivers low carbon transformation for the best interest of our residents, the environment and future generations, whilst simultaneously achieving a resilient, fair and inclusive economic recovery. We are focussed on grow in our business base and 'green-collar' jobs in the ‘new’ low carbon economy through product and service innovation, reskilling and addressing poverty to ensure an inclusive society that challenges social inequality. We are also focussed on ensuring that these new 'green-collar' jobs are not an extension of the gig economy, but instead are high quality, well paid and permanent positions in thriving industries. This will mean using short term economic stimulus money as a springboard for delivering sustained and ambitious low carbon economic growth, and leveraging much greater private sector investment. | 1 | 9,254 |
