PPG Completes COLORFUL COMMUNITIES Project at Royal Dutch Guide Dog Foundation in Amstelveen

AMSTERDAM–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PPG (NYSE:PPG) today announced the completion of a COLORFUL COMMUNITIES™
project in Amstelveen, Netherlands, that helped revitalize the
facilities of the Royal Dutch Guide Dog Foundation. The Colorful
Communities program provides PPG volunteers and products along with
financial contributions to bring color and vitality to communities where
the company operates around the world, such as in nearby Amsterdam and
Uithoorn, where PPG has Architectural Coatings and Protective and Marine
Coatings facilities.

The project brought together more than 50 PPG volunteers, who spent an
entire day revitalizing various spaces and items throughout the
facility, including guest rooms, the medical area, training equipment
and outdoor benches. PPG provided $40,000 to assist with the project, as
well as 180 liters (about 48 gallons) of SIGMA COATINGS™ paint products
that included the recently introduced Sigma Coatings Air
Pure bio-based wall paint, which removes up to 70 percent of
formaldehyde from indoor air.

The Royal Dutch Guide Dog Foundation (KNGF Geleidehonden) trains guide
dogs for the visually impaired and others who can benefit from canine
assistance, such as young children with autism, individuals using
wheelchairs and people with post-traumatic stress disorder.

“It is inspiring to see the passion demonstrated by the PPG volunteers
to beautify the location of our charity partner, KNGF Geleidehonden,”
said Jan Willem Tegelaar, PPG general manager, Protective and Marine
Coatings, Europe, Middle East and Africa. “Working together to
contribute to our community is a rewarding experience.”

The Colorful Communities program is PPG’s signature initiative
for community engagement efforts, with the aim to protect and beautify
the neighborhoods where PPG operates around the world. The program
increases PPG’s commitment to invest in communities and supports
projects that transform community assets, providing PPG volunteers and
donated PPG products. In 2015 and 2016 combined, PPG completed nearly 60 Colorful
Communities projects, and it expects to complete about 75 more this
year.

PPG and the PPG Foundation aim to bring color and brightness to PPG
communities around the world. We donated nearly $10 million in 2016,
supporting hundreds of community organizations across 25 countries. By
investing in educational opportunities, we help grow today’s skilled
workforce and develop tomorrow’s innovators in fields related to
coatings and manufacturing. Plus, we empower PPG employees to multiply
their impact for causes that are important to them by supporting their
volunteer efforts and charitable giving. Learn more at www.ppgcommunities.com
