Within days of the series of devastating earthquakes that hit Turkey, PPG donated to Ahbap, a long-term partner of PPG in Turkey. The non-profit organization continues to provide much-needed aid to those affected by this disaster, including shelter, food and medical supplies.
Supporting disaster relief in Turkey
Around the world, PPG employees quickly answered the call to provide additional support to Turkish relief efforts through direct donations from our employees and PPG matching funds.
“I am really grateful and proud of PPG's contribution to the relief efforts in Turkey," said Bilge Carritte, global color science and operations director, Refinish. “Along with my Turkish colleagues, as a native Turkish person, I feel personally affected by the tragedy and the impact reverberates through many of my friends and family who live there. The solidarity of the PPG community to come together and use the matching gift program helps to provide much-needed relief to the area, but also serves as a healing and coping mechanism for people indirectly affected."
