We believe they will continue to benefit from participating in this fastest growing channel. Structural shift back to services/experiences from goods – Consumers return to most of their pre-COVID activities assuming wide availability of vaccine. – Out of home activity is supported by consumer saving during the pandemic and record level net worth at year end 2020. – Consumer staples will use innovation and advertising to retain some of the share they gained during the pandemic. Large brands and private label will take share from small and mid-sized brands – Barriers to entry have risen for challenger brands as retailers are favoring large brands because of scale and flexible distribution. – Private label should be the biggest share gainer in the second half of 2021 because of normalized supply chains, retailers using it to boost margins and gain customer loyalty, and price polarization (erosion of mid-price points because of income disparity). 3 Longer Term COVID-19 Impact On Consumer Products Sector Consumer and business behavior changes after every significant event – this crisis is no different It is difficult to predict stickiness of consumer behavior post pandemic.

DeAR FRI ENDS, As we enter GreenBlue’s tenth year, it’s impressive to look back on all that we have accomplished in the past decade. Since we became one of the first sustainability organizations founded to work exclusively in collaboration with business, we’ve launched several groundbreaking programs, released numerous landmark research reports, and we’ve attracted many uniquely talented staff, Board members, and partners and stakeholders. Over the past year alone we have developed a more robust capacity to build on our track record of using sustainability expertise for the good of business and the public. The past year brought several milestones for GreenBlue. We underwent an organizational restructuring to align our programs better, and as a result we introduced a clearer identity and mission (“Make products more sustainable”). Building upon the success of our longstanding CleanGredients resource, we launched a new program, GreenBlue Chemicals, to seize opportunities to improve the material health of products. Our Forest Products program announced the new Forest Products Working Group, made up of leading companies committed to addressing challenges and opportunities in the forest products industries, and the Sustainable Packaging Coalition had its most productive year ever, with the release of more initiatives and reports than ever before. We also hired nine new staff members, and over the past two years we have grown by 45%, so we are larger than ever. Our tenth anniversary is a good time to ponder what’s next.
