You + Me = One PPG

At PPG, we aim to champion all employees, empowering them to show up as their authentic selves, and allowing everyone to reach their full potential. We know that diverse teams perform better. Providing equitable experiences for all our people results in better engagement, increased business performance and more opportunities for all. 

We understand our duty to improve the future of work and support historically excluded perspectives. It's the right thing to do for our people, our communities and our business. As a result, we have created a holistic strategy to help us achieve our diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) commitments. You can read more about our strategy in the 2021 Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Report. 

We live our purpose "to protect and beautify the world" every day, and our DE&I commitments are an important part of who we are and where we are going. Our ultimate goal as a company with more than 50,000 employees is to operate as One PPG - understanding that long-lasting change begins when we take accountability for our actions and commit to doing better together. 

Global Employee Resource Networks

We have eight global employee resources networks (ERNs) that are available to all employees. ERNs include more than 7,000 members based in 60 countries. 

These networks provide employees of diverse backgrounds with a greater voice and more pathways for connection and understanding. Just as importantly, they provide an opportunity for all of our employees to step up as allies, gain cultural dexterity, and build and strengthen relationships. ERNs at PPG include:

   • Abilities First Network

   • Asian Employee Network

   • Black Employee Network

   • Latinx Employee Network

   • Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ+) Employee Network

   • Veterans Employee Resource Network

   • Women's Leadership Network

   • Young Professional Network
