PPG Recognized for Excellence in Management for Second Consecutive Year
PITTSBURGH — PPG (NYSE: PPG) today announced that it has been named to the Wall Street Journal’s Management Top 250: Best-Managed Companies list for the second consecutive year, reinforcing the company’s strong track record of operational excellence, responsible leadership, and long-term value creation.
The annual ranking recognizes companies that demonstrate outstanding performance across a comprehensive set of management criteria. PPG’s repeat inclusion highlights its consistent commitment to disciplined innovation, strong stakeholder engagement, and effective governance in an increasingly complex global business environment.
About the Wall Street Journal’s Best-Managed Companies List
The Wall Street Journal’s Management Top 250 list is developed in partnership with the Drucker Institute at Claremont Graduate University. The ranking evaluates corporate management effectiveness using a rigorous, data-driven methodology designed to capture how well organizations are run—not just how they perform financially.
Companies are assessed across five core dimensions of management excellence:
- Customer satisfaction
- Employee engagement and development
- Innovation
- Social responsibility
- Financial strength
Together, these dimensions provide a holistic view of how organizations create value for customers, employees, shareholders, and society at large.
Rigorous, Data-Driven Evaluation Process
The Management Top 250 ranking is based on an analysis of 34 distinct data inputs sourced from 15 independent third-party providers, ensuring objectivity and consistency across all evaluated companies. The methodology draws on publicly available data, employee and customer sentiment, and performance indicators that reflect both short-term execution and long-term strategic health.
This approach distinguishes the ranking from traditional performance lists by focusing on management quality and effectiveness, rather than size, market capitalization, or financial results alone.
PPG’s Commitment to Disciplined Innovation and Stakeholder Engagement
PPG earned its place among the top-scoring organizations due to its continued focus on disciplined innovation, strong stakeholder relationships, and responsible management practices. The company’s strategy emphasizes aligning innovation with customer needs while maintaining operational excellence and financial discipline.
Across its global operations, PPG invests in research and development to deliver advanced coatings and specialty products that help customers improve durability, sustainability, and performance. These efforts are supported by close collaboration with customers and partners to solve complex challenges across a wide range of end markets.
In addition to innovation, PPG prioritizes engagement with key stakeholders, including employees, customers, suppliers, and the communities in which it operates. This balanced approach supports long-term growth while reinforcing trust and accountability.
Leadership Perspective on the Recognition
Bryan Iams, PPG vice president and chief communications officer, emphasized that the recognition reflects the company’s culture of excellence and purposeful leadership.
Being named one of the Wall Street Journal’s Best-Managed Companies underscores our unwavering focus on excellence throughout PPG,” said Iams. “This distinction reaffirms our dedication to our employees, customers, and communities, and highlights how purposeful leadership drives long-term success.
According to Iams, PPG’s management philosophy centers on empowering employees, fostering innovation, and maintaining a strong ethical foundation—principles that guide decision-making at every level of the organization.

PPG’s culture encourages employees to contribute ideas, take ownership of their work, and align their efforts with the company’s broader purpose. This people-centered approach strengthens organizational resilience and supports consistent performance across diverse markets and geographies.
At the same time, PPG maintains a strong focus on financial strength and disciplined execution, ensuring that investments in innovation and growth are balanced with responsible capital management.
Advancing Social Responsibility and Sustainability
Social responsibility is another critical dimension of the Management Top 250 evaluation, and PPG continues to integrate sustainability and ethical practices into its operations and business strategy.
The company works to reduce its environmental footprint, enhance product sustainability, and support community initiatives around the world. These efforts reflect PPG’s belief that long-term business success is closely linked to positive social and environmental impact.
