PPG has announced nine Excellent Supplier Award recipients for superior performance in 2016, including its first Supplier Sustainability Award winner. The new PPG Supplier Sustainability Award recognizes a supplier that demonstrates an industry-leading sustainability and safety culture and that is helping PPG meet its 2020 sustainability goals through the goods and services it provides to the global coatings and materials manufacturer.
Based on 2016 performance, PPG named Olympic Forest Products Co., a Cleveland-based pallet management company serving PPG’s businesses in the United States, as the premiere Supplier Sustainability Award recipient.
“PPG is sharply focused on sustainability, and we work to ensure our suppliers around the world share that focus,” said Radhika Batra, PPG vice president, global supply management. “By establishing and growing innovative recycling, repair-and-return, and scrap pallet programs with PPG, Olympic Forest Products helped us reach a total in the U.S. of about 95,000 recycled wooden pallets in 2016, avoiding about 1,300 metric tons of landfill waste while also decreasing our costs. We are very happy to recognize their world-class sustainability practices with our first PPG Supplier Sustainability Award.”
On an annual basis, PPG purchases approximately $7.5 billion in goods and services globally from thousands of suppliers. The company’s criteria for Excellent Supplier Awards include quality, commercial value, delivery, documentation, innovation, responsiveness, sustainability and participation in PPG's Supplier Added Value Effort ($AVE) program.
“These nine suppliers all helped create a competitive advantage for PPG in 2016, by maximizing value, meeting quality and service requirements, and minimizing risk and complexity,” Batra said. “These awards show our appreciation of their efforts to support PPG.”
