PPG and the PPG Foundation investments build the next generation of diverse and innovative STEM leaders (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), deliver community transformations through colorful spaces and activate the talent of our employees. From helping students thrive to aiding our neighbors in times of need, our community engagement activities in 2022 supported our company’s purpose to “protect and beautify the world.” See how.
