We are committed to transparent reporting on our sustainability approach and performance.
PPG recognizes the importance of clear, accurate reporting on the ways that we manage sustainability risks, act on opportunities and understand the impacts of our business on our stakeholders. We aim to consistently advance our disclosure as we improve our approach to managing sustainability issues.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Chemical Industry Standard and the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations. The sustainability approach described in this report supports progress against the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Relevant indices are available on PPG.com.
Unless otherwise noted, the information and data contained in this report cover all employees, PPG locations and joint ventures where we maintain at least 50% ownership. Monetary figures are U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.
Following an evaluation of strategic alternatives for our architectural coatings business in the U.S. and Canada and our silicas products business, in late 2024 we completed the sale of these businesses. As a result, we are only reporting social and environmental data for the company’s operations as they stood on December 31, 2024 in this year’s Sustainability Report. We have updated our 2019 baseline to exclude the divested businesses. We have included footnotes to note any areas where we have not been able to disaggregate data for previous periods.
In 2024, we again engaged Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance to provide limited assurance on our scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions data. We believe that our internal processes provide sufficient oversight regarding the accuracy of all other information we present, and we continue to explore assurance options to provide independent verification of our disclosure as expectations evolve.
We encourage feedback on this report and our sustainability performance via email, a short online survey or a letter sent to PPG, One PPG Place, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, Attention: Corporate Communications.
