1 The increase in 2009 is due in part to a decrease in production volume and changes to product mix relative to the 2005 baseline.
2 Number of contacts increased significantly in 2010 as a result of ethics program enhancements and training classes that were introduced in Asia and Latin America , with a higher % of these contacts coming in the form of questions with people seeking guidance as a preventative, proactive measure
3 In addition to Lubrizol Foundation grants in the U.S., the Lubrizol Corporation provides more than $1.5 million of support each year in the form of cash contributions, goods and materials to communities around the world where our facilities are located.
4 Additionally, Lubrizol employees participate in a multitude of company sponsored community outreach activities each year that benefit a growing number of global non profit organizations. The exact amount of donated work hours is difficult to quantify, but it is in the tens of thousands and it is increasing steadily.
5 In 2011, special cause increases were incurred in waste generation and waste to landfill due to specific project, construction and expansion related projects at three of our U.S. manufacturing facilities. These capital improvement projects were related to business growth.
6 Lubrizol became a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway in 2011
