We value stakeholder perspectives to strengthen our approach.
We actively engage with internal and external stakeholders to understand the most important issues impacting our company, customers, industries we serve and the communities where we operate. Maintaining regular and transparent dialogue with our stakeholders helps us better integrate stakeholder priorities into our strategy.
PPG recognizes that embedding stakeholder interests in our strategy and business model is essential to how we create value. Our proactive engagement strategy shapes the way we assess priority sustainability impacts, risks and opportunities and enables us to focus on programs and initiatives that deliver positive impacts across PPG's stakeholder groups.
We consider any individual or entity that can affect or be affected by our actions, objectives and policies to be a PPG stakeholder. Key stakeholder groups include:
- Employees
- Customers
- Suppliers
- Investors and analysts
- Government
- Philanthropies, nonprofits and nongovernmental institutions
- Residents of communities where PPG operates
Each of our locations, businesses and functions is expected to engage its stakeholders effectively and on an ongoing basis. While our approach to stakeholder engagement varies, activities are tailored to establish and maintain productive relationships with our stakeholders. Typical engagement activities include proactive investor outreach, attending forums, industry gatherings, trade shows, and hosting open houses and community events. To amplify our reach, we also participate in online events, share updates on owned media channels and engage in various marketing activities. We maintain open lines of communication for our stakeholders to contact us through various means, such as PPG.com, over the phone and through our social media accounts.
