Data are objective facts, often contained in a record of a transaction and are articulated to provide a reference or initiate analysis.

When data in records are analyzed to provide a message or tell a story then you have information.

When information furnishes insights or findings and leads to conclusions, recommendations or learning, then knowledge has been developed.

GPCA Metrics Guidance Document and Reporting Requirements

– A document that defines key metrics that add value for individual member companies and provides meaningful information on both a regional and globally basis.

– Provides definition of each metric and formulas for calculating so as to achieve consistency in reporting across all companies

– Provides reporting instructions to member companies

• Why was it developed?

– To pin point opportunities and drive improvements across the region.

14

GPCA Metrics Guidance Document and Reporting Requirements

• How was it developed?

– Task Force formed and chartered to develop Guidance Document in early 2010. Key EH&S leaders from GPCA member companies across the GCC were appointed.

– Surveyed internal reporting practices across GPCA member Companies and reviewed other trade association programs (e.g. CEFIC, ACC and ICCA).

– Selected the most meaningful value added metrics and defined a phased approached to implementation. All metrics are “lagging” metrics. Focus is on OUTCOMES.

15

GPCA Metrics Guidance Document and Reporting Requirements

• How will the data be used by GPCA?

– All completed templates received by GPCA are treated confidentially.

– Each submittal is protected by GPCA. Each data set is codified by GPCA so the information can be analyzed by the Metrics Sub-Committee without knowing the company’s name.

– Annually the data sets are reviewed and analyzed.

– Based on the analysis and to the extent possible the information generated from the analysis is consolidated in a report and published.
