PPG Holds ‘Eco Classroom’ Open Day at Three Chinese Sites
TIANJIN, China – PPG Industries’ coatings and resin plants in Tianjin, Zhangjiagang and Wuhu, China, held “Better Chemistry, Better Home” open days to celebrate World Environment Day. The open days encouraged neighbors in the plant communities to engage in environmental protection. During the events, students from local high schools and universities visited PPG’s facilities and Eco Classroom, which promoted sustainable development through a range of different activities.
“In addition to pursuing sustainable business growth, PPG is committed to promoting sustainability by protecting and improving the environment of communities where we have operations,” said John Richter, PPG Vice President of Operations, Coatings, Asia Pacific. “We treat the open day event as an opportunity to showcase our efforts to achieve our sustainability goals, and this year our Wuhu plant joined the Zhangjiagang and Tianjin plants in holding an ‘Eco Classroom’ open day. We plan to roll out this event to more PPG facilities in the future to promote PPG’s values to a wider audience.”
