Starting with the 1,000 largest publicly traded companies by market value (excluding real estate investment trusts), financial research firm, Calvert, set about ranking each one by how it performed in five key constituency categories: shareholders, employees, customers, community and the planet. It looked at more than 230 performance indicators from seven rating companies, including ISS, MSCI, and Sustainalytics, along with other data and Calvert’s internal research.
For 2025, PPG secured an impressive 62nd place on the rankings.
