Sustainability as a strategic business priority

Hear from Peter Votruba-Drzal, vice president-elect, global sustainability, to learn more about how PPG has integrated sustainability as a key business priority.

Our 2030 sustainability targets

In 2023, PPG became the first U.S.-based coatings manufacturer to have science-based greenhouse gas emissions targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Our targets, which cover scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, align our emissions reduction activities with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
