As a global leader in paints, coatings, and specialty materials, PPG is dedicated to protecting and beautifying the world. With a team of approximately 44,000 innovators, achievers, and partners, PPG continues to drive progress through sustainable innovation and advanced technology.
At the core of this commitment lies PPG’s mission to enhance energy efficiency and operational performance across both its own operations and those of its customers. Significant advancements have been achieved in reducing environmental impact and improving repair efficiency through the introduction of PPG’s latest product offerings. Some examples of these technologies include:
- The PPG Envirobase Basecoat ‘One Visit’ process delivers an approximate 50% reduction in process time, alongside decreased product usage per repair.
- The introduction of PPG’s DP7000 ambient cure high-build primer has enabled the implementation of innovative application techniques, such as the roll-prime process for specific repair scenarios. This development delivers energy and CO₂ savings, demonstrating the potential of PPG’s cutting-edge primer technology.
- The PPG Clearcoat and High Build Primer system offers a ‘no bake’ option, providing flexible solutions tailored to diverse operational requirements.
- To further enhance process accuracy and efficiency, many repair centres have integrated PPG VisualizID — a market-leading digital colour management solution that improves colour identification accuracy and reduces reliance on traditional spray-out cards.
These innovations reflect PPG’s broader sustainability strategy, which focuses on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its operations and value chain. PPG is actively working toward its 2030 sustainability goals: achieving a 50% reduction in GHG emissions from its own operations (Scope 1 and 2) and a 30% reduction in Scope 3 emissions. PPG was also the first U.S.-based coatings company to have validated emissions reduction targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
Through continuous investment in renewable energy, resource efficiency, and product innovation, PPG remains steadfast in its mission to advance sustainable solutions that benefit customers, communities, and the planet.
<p>PPG is our chosen partner for a number of reasons, one is that they provide a solution across the group for not only wet but dry products through their Bodyline range. Price, of course, is important, but it’s not just about that, it’s about quality of product, quality of colour, delivery and the structure that has been put in place to deal with a group of this size. They are exceptionally good with their training; our Centre of Excellence works extremely closely with PPG not only for trainees but all our staff who are managed in a structure to take people through their journey.</p>
