Sustainability at PPG
Community and Social Responsibility
PPG seeks to enhance the quality of life wherever the company has a presence throughout the world. Through its corporate foundation and global charitable contributions program as well as a wide range of local giving and volunteer programs, PPG provides support to projects that reflect the interests and values of the company and its employees. The company assesses the effects it has on the communities in which it operates, as well as the needs it can help meet.
Bringing Positive Impact to Our Communities
As part of its mission to engage with the communities where its employees live and work, PPG encourages employees’ volunteerism, including executives’ involvement, with nonprofit organizations. In 2010, members of PPG’s Operating Committee, including the CEO, served on more than a dozen nonprofit boards throughout the United States. These include the boards of Carnegie Science Center, Kettering University, Miami University’s School of Business, Prevent Blindness America and the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. Numerous other PPG employees also serve on boards of regional chapters of organizations such as United Way and Junior Achievement and volunteer their time and energy in support of projects that benefit their communities.

Global Charitable Contributions Program
PPG has committed to expanding its charitable contributions' global reach and geographic participation by dedicating a global charitable contributions program budget to support projects in the Asia/Pacific and Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) regions. A Global Distribution Committee manages these funds at the corporate level, and it will direct resources based on local priorities and areas where organizations can have the greatest impact.
