PPG Completes COLORFUL COMMUNITIES Project in Switzerland at Rolle Castle Park

PITTSBURGH–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PPG (NYSE:PPG) today announced the completion of a COLORFUL COMMUNITIES™
project in Rolle, Switzerland, that brought color to a local park and
playground used by area residents and tourists visiting Rolle Castle.
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
Rolle, where PPG has its European headquarters.

The project brought together more than 30 PPG employees to volunteer for
a day revitalizing the park and playground. PPG provided about $15,500,
as well as about 110 liters (29 gallons) of SEIGNEURIE GAUTHIER ®
paints. The city of Rolle served as project partner.

Volunteers refreshed the paint and created a mural on the exterior of a
park building. Swings and other playground equipment also received a
fresh coat of paint, and a colorful hopscotch now adorns a park pathway.

“PPG is committed to protecting and beautifying the communities in which
it operates, and we are pleased to help ensure residents and tourists
have a colorful experience when they visit this park and playground that
are within walking distance of Rolle Castle and our European
headquarters,” said Jean-Marie Greindl, senior vice president, global
architectural coatings and president, PPG EMEA. “I’m also very pleased
at the great enthusiasm our employees have shown for this project.”

The Colorful
Communities program is PPG’s signature initiative for community
engagement efforts, with the aim to protect and enhance neighborhoods
where PPG operates around the world. The program increases PPG’s
commitment to invest in communities and supports projects that transform
community spaces, 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
