What We Do

What does it take to protect and beautify the world?

All of us. At PPG, we believe the most powerful way to catalyze positive impacts in our communities is to mobilize who we are and what we do best as a business. We support our dedicated employees as they engage in meaningful community service, help diverse students and communities explore new horizons in science-related fields that reflect the expertise of our company, and encourage innovative use of our products to transform neighborhoods. In all that we do, we prioritize equity and justice to help our society meet collective challenges creatively and effectively.

Funding to support our priority areas is provided by the PPG Foundation in the U.S. and by PPG as part of our global giving across our regions outside of the U.S. Download our Funding Guidelines (PDF).
