PPG Ethics Helpline
PPG provides a helpline service to its employees as an additional resource for reporting ethical concerns, policy questions or general compliance concerns. The helpline service is managed by an independent, third-party firm with representatives who are trained to listen carefully, ask questions and document the situation accurately - and anonymously. Callers are asked to provide a complete account of their concerns so that thorough investigations can be made.
This helpline is also available to third parties – customers, suppliers, anyone – to report illegal actions or ethics violations by PPG employees. To report an ethical question or concern, please email PPG’s Chief Compliance Officer directly, report an incident online, or call the Ethics Helpline provided in the HELPLINE TELEPHONE DIRECTORY.
However, you make your report, remember that it is against PPG policy to retaliate against anyone for making a good-faith report of a violation of law or the Code. Also, all reports are taken in strict confidence and if you request, PPG will make every effort to maintain the anonymity of anyone disclosing such information.
Regardless of who receives your report, they are responsible for ensuring that it is handled properly and that you are treated fairly in the process.
Compliance
As a global company, PPG is required to comply with a number of laws and regulations in order to lawfully conduct its business. Critical among these laws and regulations are those governing bribery and corruption. PPG’s Global Anti-Corruption Policy reflects PPG’s commitment to conform to these important laws and regulations and reaffirms our intention to always act honestly and ethically in all of our business dealings.
