As a global manufacturer of paints, coatings and specialty materials, we operate in a business environment that includes risks.

To identify these risks, we annually employ an enterprise risk assessment framework that involves PPG executives and board members to prioritize the risks based on magnitude and likelihood of occurrence. Management is responsible for the development and execution of mitigation plans for key risks on a continuous basis.

Information about these and other risks can be found in the 2019 Form 10-K, Item 1A. Additionally, our 2020 Proxy Statement outlines the Board of Directors’ role in risk management.
PPG Annual Report and 10-K. Information also can be found in the Product Stewardship section of our sustainability report.
