Category Two and Three spills represent more significant spill events. PPG’s Category Two and Three spill and release rate decreased in 2011 and surpassed the company’s goal. In recognition of the improvement in reduced spills and releases since 2006, PPG re-set its Category Two and Three spill and release rate goal in 2011 to continue to drive reductions throughout its global facilities.
