Industrial Coating Sustainability. Committed to a Healthier Planet.

PPG Coatings Services operates facilities worldwide for a diverse range of industries using multiple coating technologies. We are committed to being environmental stewards and leaders in the metal coating industry by reducing the environmental impact of our day-to-day operations, preventing pollution and conserving the world’s natural resources.

In 2023, PPG became the first U.S.-based coatings manufacturer to receive validation from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for our 2030 scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions reduction targets and rolled out 2030 sustainability goals that focus on driving sales of sustainably advantaged products, reducing our environmental impact, and making a difference in communities.

Our paints, coatings and specialty materials protect and beautify the world, many of which offer benefits that support our customers' sustainability ambitions. In 2023, 44% of sales were from sustainably advantaged products and processes that we have defined as addressing multiple sustainability benefits, including lower emissions, lower toxicity, energy efficiency, use of renewable raw materials or extending durability.

In addition to product innovations, minimizing the environmental footprint of our operations is an ongoing focus, and PPG locations are guided by our 2030 sustainability targets.
