Our company’s reputation for being an honest, fair and capable firm with which to do business, wherever we operate, is one of our most

valuable assets . To ensure we maintain this crucial competitive advantage, it’s important that everyone within PPG knows, understands and conforms to one standard .

As PPG continues to grow and succeed, one aspect that will not change is our company’s commitment to ethical behavior . As PPG enters new markets, makes acquisitions and expands, we must reinforce our already excellent standards of conduct . It’s crucial that new and veteran employees alike keep pace with the evolving legal and compliance standards affecting our company and their respective jobs .

In addition, the ethical conduct of each and every PPG employee is a cornerstone to our efforts toward corporate sustainability . We do what we do in order to ensure the success and lasting presence of our company for the benefitofourcustomers,suppliers,shareholders,employeesandneighbors.

Our uncompromising ethics are a critical component of our ability to accomplish this objective .

This publication, the PPG Global Code of Ethics, sets forth the principles that apply to all PPG people, everywhere and in every circumstance . We cannot diminish our company’s good name

because of a lack of knowledge of this code or failure of any of our people to put its provisions into practice .

Our reputation rests not only on our ability to be a provider of quality goods and services, but also on our integrity and high ethical standards .

Let this code guide us as we work together toward our mutual goals: to furnish goods and services that meet our customers’ and society’s needs; to provide all employees with a safe, healthy and fulfillingworkenvironment;toaffordshareholdersa superior return on their investment; and to contribute as a good corporate citizen to each nation and each community in which we operate .

USING THIS CODE

■■ How do I use this Code?

The Global Code of Ethics is designed to guide the conduct of all PPG employees, regardless of function or position, on ethical issues that are faced during the normal course of business .

TheGlobalCodeofEthicsisdividedintofivegeneralcategories:

• PPG’s Relationships With Customers, Suppliers and Competitors;

• Responsibility To PPG Employees;

• Protecting Corporate Assets and Preparing Accurate Financial Statements;

• PPG’s Commitment To Sustainability; and

• PPG as a Global Organization .

Global Ethics and Compliance Committee

PPG has established a Global Ethics and Compliance Committee under the leadership of its Chief Executive Offi cer. This committee is supported by three regional Ethics committees located in Europe, South America and the Asia Pacifi c region. Each committee is comprised of executive and senior management-level employees from a range of functions and business units.

The committees’ purposes are as follows:

• To review the ethical aspects of corporate conduct policies.

• To advise the Chairman and Board of Directors concerning ethical standards.

• To promote awareness of PPG’s ethical standards.

• To consider appropriate responses to ethical issues that are brought to the attention of the Company or its employees.

• To provide help and counsel on ethical issues that can’t be resolved at the supervisor level, or where the supervisor may require additional guidance.

Undereachcategory,youwillfindPoliciesandexplanationsrelatedtospecific subjects covered by that category. Wherever possible, clearand unambiguous language is used to describe what is expected of each PPG employee . As a practical matter, though, we recognize that you may encounter situations in which your ethical obligation may not be entirely clear . Sometimes you may not be familiar with the relevant body of law . At other times, prevailing custom or practice may not offer suitable guidance . When conducting international business involving severaldifferentcultures,wemayfindourselvesfacingconflictingethicalsystems.Tobetterassistyou,aresourceisidentifiedundereachsubjectin the Code should you have any questions or require further guidance on a particular Policy .

■ What is expected of me?

All PPG employees are required to read, understand and follow this Code .

Enforcement is the direct responsibility of every PPG supervisor, regardless of location .

No code of conduct, including this one, can cover every situation a person might encounter . Nevertheless, PPG people everywhere are expected to conduct their business in a manner that brings credit to themselvesasindividualsandreflectsfavorablyontheCompany.Shouldyou have any questions about this Code or how to respond in a particular situation, you are expected to contact your regional or business unit lawyer for guidance .

■■ What are the consequences of violating the law or this Code?

PPG regards violation of the law and this Code as a serious matter . A breach of law or established policy can put the Company, its people and its products at substantial risk . Every PPG employee is accountable for his or her own behavior . Accordingly, anyone who violates the law or this Code will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination .

PPG’s efforts to achieve higher levels of financial performance in no way diminish our ongoingcommitment to integrity . In today’s highly competitive global economy, some people may be tempted toacttoadvancetheCompany’sfinancialinterestswithoutsufficientregardtotheethicsorlegalityof their actions. However, PPG does not recognize any conflict between achieving its corporateperformance goals and observing the law and its ethical code .

We want PPG to remain an attractive company with which to do business . We are convinced that conducting our affairs according to the law and high ethical standards contributes to that status . We will continue to support the employee or agent who forgoes a business advantage that can only be gained in violation of law or PPG policy .

■■ How do I report violations of this Code, the law or workplace misconduct?

All employees are required to report promptly any illegal action or Code violations by anyone working for or on behalf of PPG . Certain violations can cause serious harm to the company and/or third persons, and prompt reporting may allow PPG to avoid or mitigate that harm . Failure to report illegal activities is not only a violation of Company policy, but may itself be a violation of the law . In addition, knowingly and intentionally making a false report of misconduct is unacceptable and might also be illegal .

Report the conduct promptly, fully and objectively to one of the following people who are in a position to respond to the matter:

• Your Supervisor – Your Supervisor is obliged to pursue the issues raised by your report and to inform you about its disposition . If the supervisor’s response is not satisfactory or if, because of the nature of the issue, you would prefer to report the problem to someone else, you may report it to the next higher level of authority .

• Security or Human Resources Personnel – Professionals trained in security-related matters and human resources representatives are available to help you .

• Chief Compliance Officer at PPG’s Global Headquarters, Pittsburgh – The Chief Compliance Officerisresponsibleforenforcingcorporatecomplianceandethics,exportcontrolpolicies,controls and procedures, global asset protection, loss prevention, investigations and security consulting . Note particularly that suspected or actual violations of law (including but not limited to any U .S . export control laws or regulations), of PPG’s export compliance policies, controls, or procedures, or of your compliance obligations under this Code, such as those stated in the policies on Antitrust, Anti-Corruption, Payments and Expenditures and Trade Compliance, shouldbereporteddirectlytotheChiefComplianceOfficer.

• The PPG Ethics Hotline – The toll-free Ethics Hotline is maintained by a third party onbehalfofPPGandwilltakeyourreportinstrictconfidenceandreferittotheappropriate PPG authority .

If requested to do so, the Company will make every effort to maintain the anonymity andconfidentialityofanyonedisclosingsuchinformation.

■■ How will I be protected from retaliation for reporting a violation of law or the Code?

It is against PPG policy to retaliate against anyone for making a good faith report of a violation of law or this Code .

Any PPG employee who receives a report of a violation of law or this Code is responsible for ensuring that the report is handled properly and that the employee making the report is treated fairly in the process . For example, all individuals charged with investigating an Ethics Hotline call are advised that it is against PPG policy to retaliate in any manner against the caller, should the caller’s identity be revealed during the investigation . If an employee makes a report to someone other than his or her direct supervisor, the person who takes the report is responsible for its proper handling and for ensuring that the employee is treated fairly .

PPG’S RELATIONSHIPS WITH CUSTOMERS, SUPPLIERS AND COMPETITORS

The key to PPG’s business success lies in our ability to deliver goods and services of consistently

high value to our customers . To meet this standard, we manufacture products that perform according to customer expectations, promote those products truthfully, and provide effective customer support and service . Our commercial success is linked to the satisfaction of our customers . PPG depends on long-term, continuing relationships with satisfied customers, not on isolated single sales . Therefore, it is essential to develop customer relationships with the Company’s long-term interests in mind . Cultivating our customers’ trust and selling our products on the basis of merit are fundamental to this long-range approach .

■■ Antitrust

EveryonemustcomplyfullywiththeantitrustlawsoftheUnitedStateswherevertheyareapplicable,athomeandabroad.WemustalsocomplywiththecompetitionlawsineverycountryinwhichPPGanditsaffiliatesconductbusiness.AvoidcommunicationswithPPGcompetitorstotheextentpossible.Donotenterintodiscussions,formalagreementsorinformalunderstandingswithourcompetitorsconcerningthemanufacture,saleordistributionofproductsorservices,includingissuessuchasprice,wages,costs,profits,termsofsale,creditarrangements,marketshare,productionvolume,salesterritories,productsandservicestobeoffered,biddingstrategy,customerallocationandmethodsofdistribution.

The purpose of the antitrust laws is to preserve our competitive free enterprise system . PPG is committed to fair and open competition in markets throughout the world . We believe the long-range interests of our shareholders, customers and employees are best served by following business practices based on compliance with the law and respect for the operation of a free-market economy . Our policy is founded on the belief that the public interest is best served by vigorous competition – competition free from collusive agreements between competitors. Thus,while the attainment of profits by all lawful andproper means is strongly encouraged, PPG’s efforts in that regard must be conducted in accordance with the law .

In the eyes of the public, as well as in courts of law, perceptions are often more important than reality . Even innocent contact with our competitors carries the risk of being viewed as a possible conspiracy . We aremindfulthatittakesyearstoearnagoodreputationinanyfieldofendeavor,butitisanunfortunatefact that all the previously attained good can be wiped out by the acts of a single individual on a single occasion.

Participation in agreements or understandings that violate the antitrust laws is contrary to PPG policy . Examples of activities that violate PPG policy and the United States antitrust laws include: agreements orunderstandingsbetweentwoormorecompetitors:(1)tofixprices,discountsortermsofsale;(2)to divide markets, customers or territories; or (3) to refuse to deal with, or boycott, third parties . Each of these activities can lead to criminal prosecution and conviction of the individuals involved as well as their companies . Their mention is not intended to minimize the importance of other less obvious activities that may also violate the antitrust laws .

Information concerning competitor strategies and market conditions that we obtain from our customers, suppliers or from other independent third parties is both legitimate and desirable . However, you are prohibited from asking customers to serve as conduits to enable us to communicate with our competitors .

In practice, the distinction between competitors, customers and suppliers can become blurred . There are even some companies that relate to PPG in all three ways .

Beyond that, there are situations in which discussions with our competitors could serve a legitimate and useful business purpose . These include trade association activities, lobbying efforts, industry-wide wageandbenefitsurveys,certaindiscussionsconcerningthecreditworthinessofcustomers,collectivebargaining, safety, health and environmental programs, and various joint business and research ventures .

Consultation with PPG legal counsel concerning any communications with our competitors is important, and any employee who is in doubt as to the legality of a contemplated course of action should communicate with the Law Department before action is taken .

Contact your regional or business unit lawyer for further guidance regarding this Policy.

Handling Unethical Requests or Compromising Situations

If you are approached by anyone inside or outside PPG with a request to do something that you recognize to be illegal or unethical, you must refuse to do so. Tell the person making the request that such conduct is contrary to PPG policy. To report the incident, refer to the section in this Code entitled “How do I report violations of this Code, the law or workplace misconduct?” No supervisor may direct a subordinate to violate the law or the Company’s Global Code of Ethics.

Likewise, you should immediately disassociate yourself from taking part in any discussions, activities or other situations that you recognize to be potentially illegal. Where you have reason to believe that a violation of law or this Code has actually taken place, you must report it to PPG’s Chief Compliance Offi cer.

■■ Anti-Corruption

PPGprohibitsbriberyandcorruptioninallofitsbusinessdealingsineverycountry.Thispolicyappliestoall transactionsbetweenPPGandanyotherparty, regardlessofwhether it isbetweenPPGandaprivateentityorPPGandagovernmentofficial.Particularlystringentprohibitionsapplytoanyefforttoimproperlyinfluencegovernmentofficials–includingthepersonnelofgovernment-ownedorcontrolledentitiesthatareengagedinordinarycommercialactivities.

In addition to being a good business practice, this policy is required for compliance with the laws and regulations in many countries where PPG does business .

These laws and regulations, which include the U .S . Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U .K . Bribery Act, among others, have been adopted to eliminate corruption in the global marketplace and to promote a fair and competitive commercial environment within which to conduct business . These laws and PPG policy prohibit PPG employees from making or offering bribes, payments or anything of value to obtain or retain business or any other improper business advantage . ”Anything of value” includes cash, gifts, meals, entertainment, and services .

Gifts, meals, and entertainment may only be provided when there is no intent to improperly obtain or retain business or other business advantage and if otherwise in accordance with PPG’s Gifts Policy and Meals, Entertainment and Travel Policy, as set forth later in this Section .

ThispolicyandtheselawsandregulationsapplytoPPGanditssubsidiaries,aswellastheirofficers,directors, and employees . These laws and regulations also prohibit any effort to take such actions through any party retained, directly or indirectly, by PPG, such as sales representatives, contractors, intermediaries or agents .

Careful selection of business partners, agents and sales representatives is also critical to PPG’s efforts to ensure integrity and honesty in its business dealings . We are obligated to know with whom we are doing business and to ensure that when those parties act on PPG’s behalf, they do so ethically and in compliance with applicable laws . Similar diligence should be applied in selecting joint venture partners, candidates for acquisition, and their respective agents and representatives .

Because violations of these laws and regulations can result in severe criminal and/or civil penalties for both the Company and the individuals involved, it is critical to act in a manner which avoids even the appearance of a potential violation of these restrictions . Any violation of this policy may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment .

■ Gifts

No one working on behalf of PPG shall give or accept a gift that could reasonably be interpreted as an attempt to improperly infl uence the recipient. In no case may cash or securities be given or accepted. Giving or accepting gifts of more than nominal value should be approved in advance by your supervisor. Gifts may never be solicited. Further, you may never give or accept a gift where it would be unlawful to do so or if it would knowingly violate the policy of the other party’s employer.

The purpose of giving business gifts is to create goodwill for the Company, nothing more . Examples of permissible gifts are mementos that are proportionate to the occasion and gifts that are responsive tolocalcustom.However,attemptingtoinfluenceothersonthebasisofpersonalgiftsisimproper,unacceptable and, in some instances, unlawful . It is useful to remember that appearances, as well as reality, are important considerations . Providing tickets to an event for an unaccompanied customer is not entertainment but a gift . Likewise, accepting tickets to attend an event unaccompanied by a supplier is not entertainment but a gift . The guiding principle in this area is good judgment . When you cannot refuse to accept an impermissible gift tactfully or without risking damage to a valuable business relationship, you may accept the gift . However, you must promptly turn the gift over to the Company’s internal auditors for donation to a charitable organization . Alternatively, if you prefer to keep the gift, you may pay its fair market value to the Company . PPG, in turn, will donate the money to charity .

Contact your regional or business unit lawyer for further guidance regarding this Policy.

Additional Obligation for Officers and Directors

PPG’s Global Code of Ethics applies not only to employees worldwide, but also to all PPG directors. Any waiver of the Code for executive offi cers or directors may be made only by the Board or a Board committee and must be promptly disclosed to shareholders. Waivers or exceptions to the Code for executive offi cers or directors will be granted only under unusual circumstances. This ensures that in the rare instance that a waiver is sought by an executive offi cer or director that it undergoes an additional level of scrutiny by the highest governance authority of the company.

■■ Meals, Entertainment and Travel

No one working on behalf of PPG shall offer or accept meals, entertainment or travel that could reasonably be interpreted as an attempt to improperly influence the recipient. Meals, entertainment or travel may never be solicited. Further, you may never give or accept them where it would be unlawful to do so or if it would knowingly violate the policy of the other party’s employer.

Decisions concerning whether to offer or accept meals, entertainment or travel should be governed by good judgment and moderation . Take particular care in accepting meals, entertainment or travel from suppliers . As a general rule, providing or accepting meals, entertainment or travel is permissible if it meets the following test:

• The occasion serves essentially a business purpose .

• The PPG employee accompanies the customer or the supplier accompanies the PPG employee .

• The meals, entertainment or travel are proportionate to the occasion .

PPG reimbursable “entertainment” is definedasanyappropriateactivityoreventfor which a PPG employee accompanies a customer . As noted above in the “Gifts” section, under certain circumstances tickets to an event may be considered a gift rather than entertainment . They therefore are subject to the approval requirements for gifts . When deciding whether to provide or accept meals, entertainment or travel, also take into account their frequency and value . Unusually high frequency or value of such offers should be approved in advance by your PPG supervisor .

Contact your regional or business unit lawyer for further guidance regarding this Policy.

■■ Inappropriate Entertainment

Do not propose or engage in any form of entertain-ment that could reasonably be expected to lead to embarrassment to PPG or its employees or to reflect negatively on the Company’s image.

Some forms of entertainment are not appropriate for the conduct of the Company’s business . An example is entertainment that exploits or degrades anyone with respect to gender, ethnic identity, culture, race or religion . Supervisors shall not authorize reimbursement of expenses incurred for inappropriate forms of entertainment .

The relationship between PPG and its employees at every level is based on mutual respect, reciprocal trust and shared objectives . Recognizing

these ties, strengthening our common bonds and enhancing their impact on the Company’s day-to-day activities are the ongoing responsibilities of every PPG manager .

Even though local circumstances vary from one Company location to another, certain global principles and expectations concerning the relationship of PPG to its employees transcend local conditions. Those principles definethe implicit understanding that exists between PPG and every individual employed by the Company .

■ Safety, Health, Working Conditions and Human Rights

PPG will provide a safe and healthful workplace and partner with our employees to improve their health and well-being and that of their families.

• Protecting and promoting the health, safety and well-being of PPG people is a top corporate priority worldwide . Our strategy for achieving that objective involves:

• Establishing safe and healthful working conditions that meet or exceed the applicable standards for occupational health and safety .

• Providing appropriate safety and health training and instruction .

• Promoting health and safety off the job for our employees and their families .

PPG also has developed procedures in the event of emergencies related to our facilities or natural disasters . PPG requires that all employees adhere to these policies and procedures .

■■ Internal Communications

PPG is committed to an environment that fosters clear, honest and timely communication.

Achievement of PPG’s performance goals depends in large part on a well-informed and motivated workplace . That, in turn, requires effective, candid two-way communication throughout the Company .

To that end, all employees are expected to communicate important information and offer suggestions that will benefit the operations of the Company. This includes the prompt reporting of problemsand violations of PPG policies to the appropriate supervisory personnel . Likewise, every supervisor is expected to convey timely information about Company plans, performance, goals and policies to the people who report to him or to her . Additionally, every PPG employee has the right to information relatedtohisorherownperformance,compensationandbenefits.

Contact your supervisor for further guidance regarding this Policy.

■■ Diversity at PPG

PPG recognizes the business and intrinsic value of promoting diversity in today’s global workforce and is committed to that endeavor.

Diversity at PPG means valuing differences among us such as experience, perspective, background, race, age, gender, sexual orientation, culture, geography and even style .

■■ Harassment

PPG will not tolerate unlawful harassment of any kind, including verbal or physical abuse or intimidation.

Harassment of any PPG employee – by management, co-workers, customers or suppliers – destroys teamwork and can affect productivity negatively . Accordingly, all PPG employees are expected to treat each other with courtesy, dignity and respect . Every PPG employee should be alert to signs of harassment in the workplace . If you feel you are being harassed or think that another employee is being harassed, take appropriate actions to resolve the matter, such as reporting the incident or conduct to Human Resources or any member of management .

PPG AS A GLOBAL ORGANIZATION

PPG has maintained operations outside of the United States for most of its history . The magnitude of our overseas activities has increased in recent years .

That growth has reflected the worldwide diffusion of technology and the global expansion of product markets . As a supplier to industries that are increasingly global in scope, PPG is committed to extending its own manufacturing operations to wherever the markets for its products can justify the investment . That pattern has resulted in an organization with people drawn from many different cultures and with operations in countries having substantially different social, cultural and legal systems . Accordingly, the standards of business conduct appropriate to PPG people reflect those of an increasingly global organization . As our company moves further from its roots as a predominantly North American firm toward greater global operations, our relationships to the many jurisdictions in which we operate differ in important ways . Moreover, the composition of our work force in each country also varies significantly . Nevertheless, it is useful to think of PPG as a guest in each host country, and employees must govern their conduct accordingly .

■■ Trade Compliance

PPG’s ability to export its products, services, technology and technical data around the globe is a privilege that must be carefully safeguarded. We require our employees to understand and abide by all applicable export laws and regulations and to maintain and adhere to PPG’s internal procedures and processes that govern our compliance with applicable export controls. Similarly, PPG requires compliance by its employees with all trade and customs restrictions, laws and regulations, in addition to PPG’s internal requirements, relating to the import of materials and services around the world.

Our global export management and compliance program consists of a number of toolsandresourcesthataffirmthecommitmentofPPGmanagementtothiscriticalissue, provide practical guidance and training, and require recordkeeping and monitoring to help foster and achieve export control compliance .

We also recognizethatlawswilldiffer,andsometimesconflict,fromoneplacetoanother.Andwerecognize,too, that we may not always accept the underlying philosophy or consider the practical consequences of a particular law to be desirable .
