G&W GENESEE & WYOMING | 2021 ESG REPORT KEEPING OUR PEOPLE, COMMUNITIES, AND CUSTOMERS SAFE WYOMING Promoting Crisis Readiness Our U.S. railroads develop and maintain railroad and commodity-specific Emergency Response Plans (ERP). Each ERP identifies an employee's responsibilities in an emergency and provides contact information for local, state, and other emergency response organizations. We conduct 1-2 crisis simulations per year in our highest risk areas and maintain ongoing interaction with first responders in all the communities we operate. G&W also hosts voluntary trainings to educate first responders on how to safely conduct emergency operations on or near railroad tracks. These structured trainings include classroom and field training exercises to inform participants on track, railcar, and locomotive safety features. Deploying Technology to Protect Our Communities As our locomotives deliver vital goods to communities, we take responsibility for protecting the land along our railroads. In 2019, we launched a fire-prevention initiative to deploy spark arrestors on more than 20% of our fleet by the end of 2021. These devices trap hot exhaust particles - a byproduct from fuel combustion in locomotive engines. The arrestors pulverize trapped carbon particles, preventing their release into the air and reducing the chance of wildfires. Preventing Wildfires with Fire Risk App To advance fire safety and prevention, we launched a Fire Assessment App in 2020. This App helps our teams determine the level of fire risk associated with outdoor activities such as welding and open flame heating, burning, or cutting. Our Fire Assessment App analyzes 13 risk factors and assigns a rating depending on weather conditions, activity, and location. This proactive assessment is used to mitigate the fire risk associated with our operations by identifying preventative measures that must be employed by our crews and contractors. In certain conditions, the App will require work to be postponed until the fire risk declines. Delivering Safety for Our Communities In the early weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic, G&W's Indiana & Ohio Railway (IORY) played a key role in meeting increased demand for one of the best early defenses against the virus. To deliver critical ingredients needed to manufacture hand sanitizer, our team worked closely with Proctor & Gamble's (P&G) transportation department to ensure hand sanitizer could be produced quickly. SANITIZER "We've served P&G for many years, but as a result of the pandemic, our team provided extra weekend switches to accommodate P&G's increased production of hand sanitizer," says Bill Henderson, AVP Corporate Accounts Our employees understood the urgent nature of these deliveries and remained in constant communication from the time additional service was requested until final delivery. Our railroad essential worker crews sacrificed sleep and went above and beyond to accommodate the increased demand and expedite railcar deliveries in furtherance of public safety. 15
