One example of our commitment to environmental sustainability is PPG's Quattordio, Italy automotive coatings manufacturing site. Through a partnership with Grastim on the startup of a high-efficiency power-generation facility, PPG will combine cooling, heating and power, otherwise known as trigeneration, to power the site. We expect to reduce energy costs by 13% and carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions by 10% at the facility annually.

In addition, PPG's Adrian, Michigan, automotive adhesives and sealants manufacturing facility entered into a 1.5 megawatt (MW) agreement with Constellation that will help PPG purchase the clean, renewable energy equivalent to the annual electricity use of the facility. Through a 12-year agreement, PPG will receive energy and project-specific renewable energy certificates (RECs) from Swift Current Energy's Double Black Diamond Solar Energy Project. The facility will procure approximately 3,500 megawatt hours of energy per year from the project, which is expected to help PPG reduce its carbon footprint by more than 2,400 metric tons annually. This is the equivalent emissions of more than 530 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles driven for one year, according to EPA greenhouse gas equivalencies.

In addition to our operations and our customers' operations, PPG recognizes its role in minimizing the environmental impact of our products throughout their entire life cycle. Our rigorous Product Stewardship Management System and sustainable product assessment process, aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), are the bedrocks of our process.

To ensure sustainable business practices, the product stewardship management system covers the full scope of the product life cycle – from material sourcing to product development and application, including hazard communication and chemical regulatory compliance, safe transport of dangerous goods and customer response to end-of-life requirements.
