PPG reports sustainability progress, new 2025 goals

PPG近日发布了2017年企业可持续发展报告，回顾了过去一年里PPG在加强可持续运营方面所取得的进展，并提出了2025年更积极的可持续发展目标。该报告现已公布于PPG官方网站sustainability.ppg.com。

PPG recently released its 2017 Corporate Sustainability Report, which details the company’s continued progress in strengthening its sustainable operations in 2017 and the launch of new, aggressive sustainability goals it aims to achieve by 2025. The report is available at sustainability.ppg.com.

PPG董事会主席兼首席执行官Michael H. McGarry 发表讲话： “2017年，PPG在财务和战略上履创佳绩。我们将继续改善和强化可持续性运营，并践行我们的目标和承诺：保护并美化世界。”

PPG delivered a solid performance in 2017 both financially and strategically. We continued to enhance and strengthen our sustainable operations and bring life to our purpose and promise: We protect and beautify the world.

“PPG内部可持续性奖励计划已经先后表彰了200多个项目。除此之外还单独设立Ergo Cup奖以表彰改善人体工学性能项目。据估算，这两个内部奖项所表彰的项目将在2017年实现成本节约1700万美元，能帮助降低能耗、减少浪费、降低耗水量、减少排放、降低工伤率。”

As evidence, we recognized more than 200 projects through our internal sustainability awards initiative. We also recognized programs that improved ergonomics through our separate Ergo Cup Awards. We estimate that projects honored by both internal awards programs saved more than $17 million in 2017 and helped us reduce our energy consumption, waste, water use, emissions and injury rate.

PPG环境、健康和安全副总裁Mark Cancilla表示：“2017年，我们在可持续发展方面的举措不仅体现在产品创新方面，更延伸到我们的客户以及公司业务所在的社区中。我们对2017年取得的成就深感自豪，同时也对完成最新的2025年可持续发展目标充满期待，因为这些目标充分反映了当前业务环境所面临的机遇与挑战。”

“PPG’s sustainability efforts go beyond product innovations to extend to our customers’ operations and the communities in which we operate,” said Mark Cancilla, PPG vice president, environment, health and safety. “We are encouraged by our progress in 2017 and excited about our new goals, which are representative of the challenges and opportunities of our current business portfolio.”
