We protect and beautify the world®

Our Vision
The first-choice partner to meet customers’ evolving needs for innovative paints, coatings and surface solutions.

The PPG Way


We know our greatest strength is our people, so we protect their well-being, ensure they are safe, healthy, enabled, engaged and valued for the diverse talents they bring to PPG. We encourage employees to make positive impacts in their communities by providing opportunities for volunteering and amplifying their support of causes they care about. We trust our people to make decisions in their work that align with our purpose. 

We protect and beautify our customers’ most valuable assets and partner with them to create sustainable innovations that drive mutual value.

We are committed to driving profitable organic and inorganic growth by maintaining our disciplined approach to cash deployment, supporting our hallmark dividend payment history, and investing in R&D in order to create new and innovative products.

We bring color and brightness to our neighborhoods through our COLORFUL COMMUNITIES® program, combining the power and passion of our employee volunteers, PPG paint products, and charitable contributions.  Through PPG and the PPG Foundation we provide charitable contributions to educational programs that advance tomorrow’s leaders, particularly in science, technology, engineering and mathematics-related fields. We protect shared resources through our commitment to creating innovative, sustainable products that protect and beautify our communities around the world.
