PPG has been named one of the “most responsible companies in the United States” by Newsweek for the fourth consecutive year. The 2024 ranking considers thousands of companies and recognizes 600 of the most responsible companies in 14 industry subcategories in the United States.
“PPG is honored to be on this prestigious list,” said Diane Kappas, Vice President of Global Sustainable Development at PPG. “We are committed to promoting progressive progress towards achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, integrating sustainable development into our operations and customer service, and having a meaningful impact on our communities of life, work, and entertainment.”
The companies selected for the 2024 list are based on a review of publicly available performance data in the environmental, social, and corporate governance categories, as well as a survey of 17000 US residents regarding their views on corporate social responsibility related enterprises.
