Our Environment

At PPG, we are committed to using resources efficiently, developing industry-leading sustainable solutions, and prioritizing decarbonization to protect the world for current and future generations.

In 2024, PPG further advanced its sustainability commitments by continuing to drive toward its 2030 targets, reducing environmental impacts across our value chain, identifying operational efficiencies and innovating sustainably advantaged solutions for our customers. Our paints, coatings and specialty products protect and beautify the world, many of which offer benefits that support our customers' sustainability ambitions. In 2024, 41% of sales were from sustainably advantaged products and processes that we have defined as addressing multiple sustainability benefits, including lower emissions, energy efficiency, use of renewable raw materials or extending durability. One leading example of a sustainably advantaged product is the PPG LINQ^™ digital ecosystem that is significantly improving the color matching process while increasing speed and efficiency and decreasing waste in automotive body shops. In addition to product innovations, improving the efficiency of our operations is an ongoing focus.

We know that operational excellence drives productivity at PPG and for our customers. We continue advancing the use of renewable energy, and in 2024 we continued to partner with a renewable energy provider to implement our decarbonization roadmap that is expected to reduce our operational greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030. As part of this effort, PPG completed a 1.5 megawatt solar installation at our Caivano, Italy, facility, which is expected to eliminate 430 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually. The site is expected to achieve a reduction in annual operating costs by approximately 15% as a result of the solar installation and a previously installed combined heat and power unit.
