REPORTING & DISCLOSURE TRACKING OUR PROGRESS DOW | REPORTING & DISCLOSURE | 148 Dow Disclosures – GRI Content Index Similar to the approach we are now taking with injury and illness measurement, our PSCE metric focuses on both incidents that have the greatest impact, as well as incidents with the greatest potential for significant impact – including process damage, interruption or possible impact on our surrounding communities. We have defined Levels 1-4, with Level 1 incidents having the highest actual or potential impact. By 2025, our goal is to reduce the number of Level 1 and Level 2 events by more than 80% from our 2015 baseline. In 2021, the company had 26 PSCEs. This performance is slightly better than the target line for achieving our 2025 goals. We will continue our focus on PSCE reduction, specifically targeting improvement in the quality and use of our operating discipline and in our mechanical integrity preservation management system implementation. We also will strive to continue to understand and prevent our near misses with the greatest potential for avoidance. OMISSION 306-3 (2016) Significant Spills Information not available.
