PPG Earns Spot on Newsweek’s 2025 ‘Most Trusted Companies in America’ List Again
PPG today proudly announced its recognition on Newsweek’s 2025 list of Most Trusted Companies in America, marking the second consecutive year it has received this prestigious honor. This recognition underscores PPG’s continued commitment to fostering trust across its key stakeholder groups, including customers, investors, and employees.
“PPG is proud of its reputation as a trusted company that prioritizes the needs of its customers, employees, and investors,” said Bryan Iams, PPG’s Vice President and Chief Communications Officer. “At PPG, we take great pride in developing and delivering high-quality paints, coatings, and specialty products that not only enhance our customers’ productivity and sustainability but also contribute to a safer and healthier environment for our employees.

The Most Trusted Companies in America list, compiled annually by Newsweek in collaboration with market research firm Statista, evaluates companies based on a holistic trust-based framework. The methodology includes an extensive independent survey conducted among approximately 25,000 U.S. residents, who assess companies on three key pillars: customer trust, investor trust, and employee trust. In addition to direct survey responses, an extensive social listening analysis is conducted, which evaluates positive, negative, and neutral sentiment across media sources and public platforms. This ensures that companies listed not only demonstrate excellence in business practices but also maintain a strong and positive relationship with their stakeholders.
This year marks the fourth edition of Newsweek and Statista’s ranking, which continues to highlight organizations that excel in fostering trust and credibility in the marketplace. The complete 2025 rankings can be accessed on Newsweek’s official website.
