To our valued stakeholders,
I am pleased to share our 2025 Sustainability Report and the continued progress we are making toward our 2030 commitments. At PPG, sustainability is fundamental to our purpose and a key enabler of enterprise growth and productivity. It shapes how we innovate, operate and create long-term value for our customers, shareholders and communities.
Across global markets, our customers are increasingly seeking solutions that deliver improved performance, productivity and meaningful environmental benefits. This demand creates significant growth opportunities for PPG. By accelerating the development and commercialization of sustainably advantaged products, we help customers reduce energy, water and waste, lower emissions, streamline processes and improve profitability. Our sustainability goals are grounded in delivering measurable value for our customers while strengthening our competitive position.
In 2025, we continued expanding our portfolio of innovative coatings, specialty products and productivity solutions designed to increase application efficiency, extend asset life and reduce environmental impact. An example is PPG ENVIROLUXE™ Plus powder coatings, formulated with up to 18% post-consumer recycled plastic and made without PFAS*. These coatings provide strong protective performance while reducing carbon footprint and minimizing waste through excellent transfer efficiency and reclaimable overspray. Innovations like these help customers grow their business, improve productivity, reduce lifecycle impacts and meet their own sustainability commitments.
Within PPG, our longstanding commitment to operational excellence remains central to our sustainability strategy. We continued advancing our decarbonization initiatives, progressing toward our validated science based target to reduce scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions 50% by 2030 from our 2019 baseline. Through energy efficiency improvements, process optimization and expanded renewable electricity sourcing, we are reducing emissions by 25% while improving productivity and cost competitiveness across our global operations.
We also engage with our suppliers to identify more sustainable feedstocks and reduce the environmental impacts of the materials used in our products. PPG's procurement teams are committed to responsible sourcing throughout our value chain, and in 2025 we assessed 100% of our key suppliers against sustainability and social responsibility criteria, reinforcing our shared commitment to a lower-carbon, more sustainable future.
Looking ahead, we remain focused on continuing to accelerate the transition to sustainably advantaged solutions, reducing our environmental footprint and driving growth through innovation and productivity. By embedding sustainability into our strategy and day to day operations, we are strengthening our ability to create long term value for customers, shareholders and the communities we serve.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership as we advance toward a more sustainable and productive future.
Sincerely,
Peter Votruba-Drzal
PPG Vice President, Global Sustainability
