PPG announces agreement with NRG Energy’s Direct Energy

PPG (PPG) announced an agreement with NRG Energy (NRG) brand Direct Energy that will enable four PPG paints and coatings manufacturing facilities and 62 PPG PAINTS stores in Texas to reduce their carbon footprint. The initiative is estimated to reduce PPG’s total greenhouse gas emissions by more than 9,400 metric tons annually, PPG said. “PPG has a strong history of focusing on energy efficiency and renewable energy sourcing, which has resulted in a 17% reduction in absolute GHG emissions since 2017 – but we know we must strive for more,” said Diane Kappas, PPG vice president, global sustainability.
