Community Engagement

We’re on a mission to bring color and brightness to the communities where we live and operate.

Creating cheerful classrooms. Fueling future inventors with inspiration. The possibilities are bright when our colleagues, community partners and stakeholders join together to create vibrant communities. 

With the unique talents of our employees, the power of our products and financial contributions from PPG and the PPG Foundation, our vision comes to life in the local communities where we live and work.

We deliver on our vision globally in the areas of education, community sustainability and employee engagement.
