Newsweek’s ‘Most Trustworthy Companies in America list
For the second straight year, PPG has been recognised on Newsweek’s respected list of Most Trustworthy Companies in America. To make it more relevant, a holistic approach is used to identify trusted companies who are performing exceptionally well on a national level.
The three primary pillars of judging were: customer trust, investor trust and employee trust. Newsweek partnered with market researcher Statista to conduct an independent survey sample of roughly 25,000 U.S. residents, who evaluate companies based on these three areas of trust. PPG’s place on the prestigious ‘Most Trusted Companies in America 2025’ list recognises the companies high scores in terms of customer, investor and employee trust.
PPG Vice President and Chief Communications Officer, Bryan Iams, highlighted the strong reputation of PPG.
“PPG is proud of its reputation as a trusted company that values its customers, employees and investors,” Iams says.
