Toronto, Ontario -- PPG Industries earns its second consecutive AAA sustainability rating from MSCI, reinforcing its place among global leaders in environmental, social and governance performance.
MSCI assesses companies according to how well they manage financially relevant ESG risks and opportunities, awarding ratings on a seven-band scale from AAA (highest) to CCC (lowest).
The ratings are industry-relative: a company that receives AAA is viewed as a “leader” in its sector.
Specifically, MSCI states that companies rated AAA “have the highest ESG rating … compared to global industry peers, they have the strongest aggregate management measures of their ESG risks and are often involved in products or services that provide environmental or social solutions.”
PPG’s November 19 2025 announcement emphasises that “sustainability is more than a goal – it’s a key part of our business strategy,” and that this recognition “underscores how PPG is positioned to meet our customers’ needs: expanding our portfolio of sustainably advantaged solutions while reducing waste, water use, emissions and energy consumption.”
The fact that PPG has secured AAA for a second year in a row signals to investors and stakeholders that the company is not only managing ESG risks but doing so at a level superior to most of its industry peers.
The company reported net sales of US$15.8 billion in 2024 and operates in more than seventy countries in construction, consumer-products, industrial and transportation markets.
