2019 Sustainability Report

People Overview

Our greatest strength is our people.

People Overview

We succeed as One PPG.

Our people strategies provide the foundation for our teams to thrive and deliver exceptional performance. We are committed to ensuring our employees are safe, healthy, enabled, engaged and valued for the diverse talents they bring to PPG.

In 2019, we embarked on a journey to enhance our culture. The result was the launch of The PPG Way, which embodies six vital tenets around a culture of ownership, empowerment and inclusiveness. Every single day at PPG, these tenets are further enabling, empowering and engaging employees across the world to deliver world-class performance. Whether developing a new product, solving a customer’s challenge, participating in a community engagement project or implementing a new technology for our customers, our employees are demonstrating the PPG Way and shaping our future in countless ways each year.

Our evolution has brought the employee experience to the forefront. That view has framed new growth-focused talent strategies, a connected total rewards platform and an energized engagement platform, all of which are designed to deliver top-tier performance. We believe that supporting leaders with modern, world-class human resources technology and operations will be the difference in their ability to succeed.  

As One PPG, we are able to offer various development and advancement opportunities so our employees are equipped to make meaningful contributions, be successful and achieve their full potential.

By fostering inclusiveness, welcoming diverse perspectives and empowering our people, PPG becomes more innovative, productive and competitive.
