TRR was 0.22 (92 recordable incidents, 10 of which were work-related COVID-19 cases), and our lost workday case rate (LWCR) was 0.05 (22 lost workday incidents). During 2021, we unfortunately experienced a fatality involving an employee from a joint venture. This occurred as a result of a chemical release during plant start-up. This incident has been reviewed with support from a third-party prov ider, and action plans have been developed for all affected locations. In addition, we experienced 14 accidents, ranging from fract ures to hospitalizations, that we consider “serious” according to the Colgate Accident/Incident Reporting and Recordkeeping Standard. Serious incidents also include work- related fatalities. Colgate accident statistics include employees, temporary workers and contractors. For serious accidents, we also report contractor and visitor incidents. The goal for 2025 is to strive for zero harm and zero serious inc idents. At Colgate, senior leadership is involved when there is a serious injury. They participate in sessions on how to proactively prevent critical risks from, among other things, electricity, machines and heights, with a focus on establishing the most effective protective controls. They also participate in ongoing risk assessments to determine if effective controls are in place to mitigate potentially negative outcomes. PAGE 29 2021 SUSTAINABILITY AND SOCIAL IMPACT REPORT
