Following a stringent assessment process, PPG has been named to Newsweek magazine’s America’s Greenest Companies list for 2025. It recognises the top 500 private and public U.S. companies that are committed to reducing their environmental impact in key areas, including greenhouse gas emissions, water management, and waste reduction.
To ensure the highest standards, only companies that meet the European Union's stringent sustainability criteria (considered the most advanced globally) were eligible for consideration. Each company was evaluated and scored on more than 25 parameters, including sustainability data disclosure and commitments.
“At PPG, we pride ourselves on integrating sustainability into our business strategy,” said Peter Votruba-Drzal, PPG Vice President, Global Sustainability. “With our customers, we use it as a driver to accelerate growth with sustainably advantaged products* and productivity innovations. In our own operations, we use it as a catalyst to improve productivity through energy efficiency, waste minimisation, and water reduction.”
In 2023, PPG reported strong progress against its 2030 sustainability targets, including:
- 45% of process waste sent to reuse, recycle, and recovery
- 13% reduction in water intensity at priority sites
- 10% reduction in scope 1 and 2 Green House Gas emissions
- 12% reduction in scope 3 Green House Gas emissions
- 97% of key suppliers assessed to sustainability and social responsibility criteria
