June 6, 2025

PPG has been named to Newsweek magazine’s World’s Greenest Companies 2025 list. The list recognizes the top 750 publicly listed companies across 26 countries for their environmental sustainability performance.

“For decades, customers have relied on PPG as a partner to support their most challenging needs to protect and beautify countless assets,” said Peter Votruba-Drzal, PPG vice president, global sustainability. “By embracing sustainable innovation as a key component of our business strategy, we’re driving growth through solutions that yield sustainable advantages for our customers.”

PPG recently reported strong 2024 progress against its 2030 sustainability targets, including:

  • 41% of sales from sustainably advantaged products*
  • 18% reduction in scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions
  • 6% reduction in scope 3 GHG emissions, reflective of reporting categories 1, 10 and 12**
  • 48% of process waste sent to reuse, recycle and recovery
  • 28% reduction in water intensity at priority sites
  • 98% of key suppliers assessed to sustainability and social responsibility criteria

Newsweek’s World’s Greenest Companies 2025 list is based on a comprehensive analysis of self-disclosed sustainability data conducted by GIST and Plant-A Insights Group. Over 8,000 companies were evaluated, and 750 were selected for inclusion based on their environmental sustainability performance.

Eligibility requires companies to meet the minimum sustainability standards established by the European Union and to have publicly available sustainability disclosures and more than 1,000 employees. Companies were evaluated and scored on more than 25 parameters in four categories: greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, waste generation, and sustainability data disclosures and commitments.

*Sustainably advantaged products are identified using PPG’s methodology that validates product attributes and their contribution towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

**Category 1: Purchased goods and services, including raw materials and PPG-manufactured packaging; Category 10: Customer processing of sold products; Category 12: End-of-life treatment of sold products.
