PPG Industries Inc

## Political Contributions

We do not make any corporate political contributions as a company to political parties or candidates.

In the United States, our employees have formed a political action committee (PAC). Under the umbrella of this independent, voluntary, registered committee, employees collect donations to politicians, political parties and associations and make decisions as to how the funds will be used. The PAC Executive Committee has broad employee representation and approves all political contributions made on behalf of the PAC. The PAC is governed by a series of internal policies and adheres to a strict set of by-laws.

In 2023, total PAC contributions totaled $179,000 to local, state and federal candidates for elected office representing the Republican and Democratic political parties.

Our PPG PAC contributions included those made to individual candidate political campaigns as well at other business PACs including our trade associations. There was no spending on ballot measures or referendums. The PPG PAC participates in political engagement on a case-by-case basis, guided by the key issues important to PPG PAC members. These issues include DE&I, energy and environment, infrastructure, regulatory reform, tax and budget, technology and trade.

Political contribution receipts and disbursements are reported in detail and disclosed publicly on the U.S. Federal Elections Commission website.

A political contributions overview and more information on political activities is provided on the PAC website and our Government Affairs website.

The largest public policy advocacy issues for the PAC in 2023 included infrastructure investment, regulatory reform, tax and trade.

## Advocacy

We engage with customers, nongovernmental organizations, government agencies and other stakeholders to ensure that we understand their requirements and they, in return, understand our position and requirements for efficient and sustainable business operations. As an example, we advocate for education and availability of clean energy.

Our advocacy efforts are global and encompass regulatory matters related to environment, health, safety and product stewardship. Our Regulatory and Emerging Issues Process helps our businesses track emerging issues and identify opportunities for advocacy based on risk and financial impact. We work closely with our businesses and technical community to ensure strong two-way communications and engagement as advocacy issues develop.

The PPG Advocacy Steering Committee works to promote alignment among our businesses and to provide direction on engagement. The committee meets routinely to monitor the progress of current advocacy efforts and review new initiatives. Though there are numerous chemical specific advocacy efforts underway, the following principles are applied to keep our messaging consistent:

* Sound science
* Risk-based approach
* Practical solutions

We continue to engage with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on matters related to TSCA implementation under the Lautenberg amendments, such as workplace chemicals management and risk assessment. In Europe, we are closely following the Chemical Strategy for Sustainability under the EU Green Deal to ensure we provide comments to advocate for risk-based, sustainable solutions supported by sound science and the need for early assessment of alternatives. In other parts of the world, such as Latin America, we are advocating for a risk-based chemicals management strategy as countries prepare chemical inventories.

Through our Government Affairs department and membership with trade associations and coalitions, we engage directly and indirectly on an ongoing basis with policymakers at the local, state and national levels on issues related to climate change. Two key focus areas are energy efficiency and clean energy generation. We support an \"all-of-the-above\" approach to energy generation, which includes clean energy generation methods such as wind and solar. We believe that clean energy generation must occur in a measured way, without significant price fluctuations and without harming our production, suppliers and business customers.
