PPG (NYSE PPG) today announced that it has been recognized by Newsweek magazine in its 2023 list of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Women. The list ranks the top 600 U.S. companies with at least 1,000 employees. The results are based on a survey of more than 37,000 women on topics including compensation and benefits, work-life balance and proactive management of a diverse workforce.

“At PPG, we take pride in our workplace and the performance of our employees around the world. More than 4,300 women work in our offices, stores, plants and distribution centers across the U.S., and we’re grateful for their contributions each and every day,” said Kevin Walling, PPG chief human resources officer. “This year we celebrate 140 years of protecting and beautifying the world, and this recognition underscores our commitment and our progress in making PPG more diverse, inclusive and a great place to work for all employees.”

As part of its 2025 diversity, equity and inclusion commitments, PPG has set a goal to achieve 34%-36% representation for female professionals globally. As of January 2023, that figure is 31% and the company is on track to achieve the 2025 target.
