About this Report
PPG recognizes the importance of clear, accurate reporting on the ways that we manage ESG risks, act on opportunities and understand the impacts of our business on our stakeholders. We aim to consistently advance our disclosure as we improve our approach to managing ESG issues.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Chemical Industry Standard and the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations. The sustainability approach described in this report supports progress against the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Relevant indices are available on PPG.com.
