Our Beliefs
We believe that:

• Growing competition for access to abundant, reliable, affordable and environmentally sustainable energy and feedstock sources has had a significant impact on the global economy.
• Human activity has likely contributed to an increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations.
• Both of these trends will likely continue, and as such pose risks to the global economy, physical environment and human health.
• PPG is well positioned to develop new and innovative solutions that address energy security and climate change concerns.
• Solutions to the issues of energy security and climate change will require sustained and coordinated global cooperation and investment.

Our Commitments

• We will continue to conserve energy and increase our use of renewable energy and raw materials.
• We will continue to implement GHG emissions reduction programs throughout our global operations and set more challenging goals to further limit these emissions.
• We will work with other interested parties to develop fair and effective international policies regarding energy security and climate change.
• We will advocate a market-based price of carbon and credits for benefits derived from energy-saving products and products derived from renewable resources.
• We will continue to develop and market leading-edge products that benefit the environment and conserve energy.
• We will communicate with key stakeholders the risks and opportunities associated with energy security and climate change.
