Air Fresheners | Air Fresheners and Candles | Chemical footprint | The stewardship list is comprised of the following lists which describe the conditions under which the identified chemicals can or cannot be used. If a chemical on a stewardship list is listed with a qualifying statement on production, exposure, or threshold, the statement should be considered for this KPI. • CA EPA Prop 65 – Reproductive and Developmental Toxicants, Carcinogens • EPA Toxics Release Inventory PBTs • EU REACH – Annex XVII CMRs (Appendices 1 - 6) • IARC – Groups 1, 2A, 2B These published lists have been referenced in public retailer chemical policies. Where a chemical is accompanied by a specific route of exposure on these published lists and the exposure route is relevant to the product during consumer use or foreseeable misuse, then the chemical is relevant to this KPI. For B, the program may be internal to an organization but must measure the chemical footprint as defined by the Chemical Footprint Project (CFP). For C, the external program must measure the chemical footprint of the organization and must be multi-stakeholder (include representatives from government and/or NGO as well as industry) with transparent methodology and include actors from across the supply chain (raw material suppliers, manufacturers, and retailers). This KPI set was developed by The Sustainability Consortium to be aligned with the Beauty and Personal Care Product Sustainability Rating System. TSC is a multi-stakeholder organization comprised of leading brands, manufacturers, retailers, and non-profit organizations that represent broad perspectives on sustainability. To build a KPI set that can be deployed across the beauty and personal care industry, TSC acknowledges that members have diverse points of view. As such, the attributes, activities, KPIs, and scoring used in this KPI set represent a composite perspective of the current market and are not necessarily the views, policies, or program of any single member of TSC. | Clean Production Action - Chemical Footprint Project: The Chemical Footprint Project (CFP), an initiative of Clean Production Action (CPA), has developed a tool to track and benchmark corporate activities to include safer chemicals in consumer products. The CFP survey also covers chemical selection at the manufacturing and supply chain phases and tracks progress according to four major elements: Management Strategy, Chemical Inventory, Footprint Measurement, and Public disclosure and Verification. https://www.chemicalfootprint.org/ | Chemical footprint: Defined by the Chemical Footprint Project™ as the total mass of chemicals sold by a company, used in its manufacturing operations and by its suppliers, and contained in packaging that meet any of the following criteria: • Carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic to reproduction (CMR); • Persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic substance (PBT); • Any other chemical for which there is scientific evidence of probable serious effects to human health or the environment that give rise to an equivalent level of concern (for example, an endocrine disruptor or neurotoxicant); or • A chemical whose breakdown products result in a [chemical] that meets any of the above criteria. The Chemical Footprint Project™ provides other specific guidance that can be used to identify chemicals that meet these criteria. Public disclosure - Home and Personal Care: Voluntary corporate reporting, sustainability reporting programs, or reporting as part of regulatory compliance. |

Air Fresheners | Air Fresheners and Candles | Formulation - Chemical selection | For this KPI, “category” is defined by the Performance Assessment name and description. Intentionally added ingredients in final formulations are in scope for this KPI. For this KPI, the threshold for intentionally added chemicals on the stewardship list is 100 ppm. Intentionally added chemicals on the stewardship list below this threshold are not to be considered. For C, chemicals on the stewardship list are those chemicals on any of the four authoritative and scientific lists referenced below. Even when a list specifies a particular route of exposure, C measures the presence of chemicals on the stewardship list regardless of the route of exposure. Calculate C as the number of products that you sell in this product category that contain any intentionally added formulation ingredients that are on the stewardship list, divided by the total number of products that your organization sells in this product category, then multiply by 100. For D, chemicals on the stewardship list are those chemicals on any of the six authoritative and scientific lists referenced below. When a list specifies a particular route of exposure, D measures the presence of chemicals on the stewardship list when that route of route of exposure is relevant to consumers under conditions of instructed use or foreseeable misuse. Foreseeable misuse is limited to consumer misuse during a product’s intended application and does not include exposure from intentional misuse (e.g., ingestion of rinse-off skin products). Calculate D as the number of products that you sell in this product category that contain any intentionally added formulation ingredients that are on the stewardship list where exposure is relevant, divided by the total number of products that your organization sells in this product category, then multiply by 100. For D, examples of authoritative or scientific hazard classifications where a route of exposure has been specified include: 1. Ethyl alcohol in alcoholic beverages 2. Titanium dioxide (airborne, unbound particles of respirable size) 3. Silica, crystalline (airborne particles of respirable size) 4. Carbon black (airborne, unbound particles of respirable size) Example-1: Titanium dioxide For C, ALL products containing titanium dioxide are to be included in the numerator of the calculation. For D, for products containing titanium dioxide (unbound particles of respirable size), ONLY those products that can become airborne during instructed consumer use or foreseeable misuse are to be included in the numerator of the calculation. Example-2: Ethyl alcohol For C, ALL products containing ethyl alcohol are to be included in the numerator of the calculation. For D, for products containing ethyl alcohol, ONLY those products that are ingested under conditions of instructed use or foreseeable misuse are to be included in the numerator of the calculation. For product categories without intentionally added formulation ingredients that are on the stewardship list with or without a specified route of exposure, enter zero for C. For product categories without intentionally added formulation ingredients that are on the stewardship list, enter zero for C and D. The stewardship list is comprised of the following lists which describe the conditions under which the identified chemicals can or cannot be used.

Air Fresheners | Air Fresheners and Candles | Packaging – Sustainable Sourcing | For this KPI, "category" is defined by the Performance Assessment name and description. The total point value earned for C - G equals the total percentage of PCR, PIR, and sustainably sourced renewable content across all materials multiplied by 0.8. This value is calculated by: % wood/paper composition × (% PCR or PIR content + % sustainably sourced renewable content) + % plastic composition × (% PCR content + % PIR content + % sustainably sourced renewable content) + % glass composition × (% PCR content + % PIR content) + % metal composition × (% PCR content + % PIR content) + % other materials composition × (% PCR content + % PIR content + % sustainably sourced renewable content) For example, if the total percentage of PCR, PIR, or sustainably sourced renewable content across all materials is 25%, then the points earned for D - H would be 25% × 0.8 points available = 0.2 points earned. Product sales packaging, which is defined as packaging that leaves a store with the consumer, is to be considered. For products that are shipped directly to an end consumer, include the transportation-related packaging. Perform the calculations for this KPI in two steps: Step 1. Enter the percentage composition, by mass, for each component type in this product category's sales packaging: • C1: Wood or paper • D1: Plastic • E1: Glass • F1: Metal • G1: Other materials Step 2. Enter the percentage by mass for each material type in this product category's sales packaging that is PCR, PIR, or sustainably sourced renewable content. For this step, be sure to enter the percentage of content based on each respective component type. Do not enter percentages based on the total mass of this product's category's sales packaging. • C2: Post-consumer or post-industrial recycled content • D2, E2, F2, G2: Post-consumer recycled content • D3, E3, F3, G3: Post-industrial recycled content • C3, D4, G4: Sustainably sourced renewable content For this KPI, post-consumer recycled content is defined by ISO 14021 or the Global Protocol on Packaging Sustainability and post-industrial (pre-consumer) recycled content is defined by ISO 14021. Sustainably sourced renewable content is defined by the Global Protocol on Packaging Sustainability. Sustainable sourcing may be demonstrated by second or third party verification that the raw material has been harvested or produced legally and in a way that minimizes damage to the environment, workers, and communities. Calculate C1, D1, E1, F1, and G1, as the mass of packaging composition for each component type in this product category's sales packaging, divided by the total mass of this product category's sales packaging, then multiply by 100. For G1, "other materials" include, but are not limited to, textile packaging. Calculate D2, E2, F2, and G2 as the mass of post-consumer recycled content for each component type in this product category's sales packaging, divided by the total mass of each respective component type in this product category's sales packaging, then multiply by 100. For C2, sum the mass of post-consumer recycled and post-industrial recycled wood or paper content in this product category's sales packaging and divide this value by the total mass of wood or paper in this product category's sales packaging. Calculate D3, E3, F3, and G3 as the mass of post-industrial recycled content for each component type in this product category's sales packaging, divided by the total mass of each respective component type in this product category's sales packaging, then multiply by 100. Calculate C3, D4, and G4 as the mass of sustainably sourced renewable content for each component type in this product category's sales packaging, divided by the total mass of each respective component type in this product category's sales packaging, then multiply by 100. | Global Protocol on Packaging Sustainability: According to this document's introduction, "The Global Protocol on Packaging Sustainability was created to provide the consumer goods and packaging industries with a much needed common language with which to discuss and assess the relative sustainability of packaging.
