We help our customers to be successful by identify- ing future needs and developing innovative solutions with outstanding added value. All Hilti products are designed for outstanding performance and long life. In early product development we use ecological guidelines to select both recyclable materials to be used in their manufacture and environmentally friendly packaging materials. As one of the world’s largest manufacturers of power tools, high performance acces- sories (including state-of-the-art air sealing and fire protection systems) and integrated services, Hilti recognizes the value of designing buildings to meet green building standards. This information package will provide you with a detailed breakdown of how Hilti products and services help to comply with certain green building standards around the globe. The reference point for the present green building information is BREEAM Europe 2009, the standard developed by BREEAM International. Green building overview The building sector is one of the major contributors to increasing global CO emis- 2 sions. Green building is one important means to meet the challenge of climate change while also being highly beneficial for building owners. Green building is a visible global movement to increase both the resource efficiency of buildings and the comfort and well-being of their occupants. It focuses on the practice of increasing the efficiency with which buildings use resources – energy, water, and materials – while reducing the impacts on human health and the environment during the building’s lifecycle. This is done with better site management, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal. Positive effects of green building are related to • 8 – 9% decrease in operating costs • 7.5% increase in building values • 6.6% improvement in return on investment • 3.5% increase in occupancy • 3% rent increase • Healthier and more motivated employees page 3

Green Building with BREEAM “We build a better future”: corporate responsibility at Hilti “We can only enjoy long-term financial success if we take our corporate responsibili- ties, in terms of society, economy and the environment, seriously.” Bo Risberg, Chief Executive Officer, Hilti Corporation The goal of our corporate strategy is to generate sustainable profitable growth.

Green Building with BREEAM What is BREEAM? BREEAM is a third-party certification program which provides a benchmark for the de- sign, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings. BREEAM gives building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measur- able impact on their buildings’ performance. Projects assessed by the BREEAM standards are rated according to ten key cat- egories: management, waste, health and well-being, pollution, energy, land use and ecology, transport, materials, water and innovation. The weightings of each category are tailored to meet the respective building’s use whether offices, educational, health care, retail, domestic or industrial. Buildings outside the UK can be assessed using BREEAM International, which is tailored to suit local circumstances. BREEAM has over 110,000 certified buildings around the world and over half a million projects registered for certification. Can products be certified under BREEAM No. BREEAM can only be used to certify a green building project as a whole. However, individual products can contribute to points under the certification system; the criteria are performance based. BREEAM’s Green Guide to Specification has been developed to aid selection of key building components such as external wall structures, insula- tion and windows (which contribute significantly to building performance) according to an A+-to-E-rated “Ecopoint” system; ranking individual products according to their impact on 13 environmental issues (examples: climate change (CO values), ozone 2 depletion, waste disposal). In attempting to meet these requirements, BREEAM prac- titioners identify products that have desired attributes. However, some criteria do re- quire specific product data as part of a successful submittal. Hilti assists you in achieving BREEAM credits Hilti is aware of customer needs with respect to green building and proactively incor- porates green building performance criteria in its most valuable products. Therefore, a wide range of Hilti products provide the customer with an additional integrated service. To create enthusiastic customers it is essential to understand the customer needs in the first place. With this brochure Hilti aims to provide the most convenient assistance in achieving BREEAM credits for our customers. page 5
Green Building with BREEAM How BREEAM works BREEAM rewards performance above regulation which delivers environmental, higher comfort or health benefits. BREEAM awards points or ‘credits’ and groups the environ- mental impacts into the various sections. The total number of points or credits gained in each section is multiplied by an environmental weighting factor which takes into ac- count the relative importance of each section. Section scores are then added together to produce a single overall score. BREEAM score and rating calculation BREEAM Selection Credits Credits % of Credits Section Section Achieved Available Achieved Weighting score Management 7 10 70 0.12 8.40 Health & Wellbeing 11 14 79 0.15 11.79 Energy 10 21 48 0.19 9.05 Transport 5 10 50 0.08 4.00 Water 4 6 67 0.06 4.00 Materials 6 12 50 0.125 6.25 Waste 3 7 43 0.075 3.21 Land Use & Ecology 4 10 40 0.10 4.00 Pollution 5 12 42 0.10 4.17 Innovation 1 10 10 0.10 1.00 Final BREEAM score 55.87% BREEAM Rating VERY GOOD Minimum Standards for BREEAM “Very Good” rating Achieved?

These systems allow you to work up to four times faster than conventional fastening methods. DX and GX usage does not require any electrical power and is therefore cordless. This provides each worker on the jobsite significant flexibility and safety. In conjunction with the new Clean-Tec cartridges, which have allowed Hilti to set a new standard for heavy metal cartridges worldwide, this underlines the environmental inno- vation that Hilti is striving to achieve. DX and GX fastening systems will allow more efficient, safe and environmentally friend- ly work to be carried out than ever before. Innovation Hilti develops innovative high performance fixings with close attention to the envi- ronmental benefits at an early stage in product development and right through the product lifecycle. Thus, the Hilti HVA resin anchor system and Hilti HIT-RE-500 are fully approved by the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS) for use in contact with potable drinking water. Foams, firestopping and air sealing Furthermore, most Hilti foams and firestop products are dust-free applications. An example of this is cast-in products which are installed before the floors are cast. This means that there is no drilling necessary. The sustainability of sites is improved with Hilti products by supporting the following important characteristics of a building: movement capability, firestop and watertight- ness. Movement capability allows the tracing of building movement. Firestop proper- ties of Hilti products are tested to various worldwide standards to reduce damage due to fire, even during the building phase. Watertightness aids in avoiding jobsite damage due to water penetration, either through rain or during a fire. Thus, using Hilti tools and accessories can further improve the potential for BREEAM credits. page 11

Hilti provides free of charge tool and battery take back facilities throughout our network of Hilti Centres across the UK and encourages customers to utilise this service to ensure Hilti tools are treated in an envi- ronmentally sensitive manner at end of life. page 18
Green Building with BREEAM Hilti packaging is also largely recyclable. The recycling symbol and the green dot sym- bol are generally applicable to all Hilti packaging. The green dot scheme is captured under the European “Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive – 94/62/EC”, binding for all companies if their products use packaging. Hilti is in line with green dot require- ments, which include a well established European network of industry-funded systems for recycling the packaging materials of consumer goods. In GB, Hilti works closely with Recycle Pak to ensure full compliance with packaging waste legislation. The Hilti Group wants to demonstrate that the recycling of used packaging is an important step on the path towards the sustainable development necessary to safeguard our planet for future generations. In some cases Hilti managed to provide products that do not generate any construction site waste (HVU, HVU-HWB, HVU-TZ, HVU-G/EA). page 19
