PPG completes COLORFUL COMMUNITIES project at school in Barcelona

BARCELONA, Spain, Nov. 10, 2026 - PPG (NYSE: PPG) today announced the completion of a COLORFUL COMMUNITIES® project at Escola Els Porxos, a public preschool and primary school in Barcelona. The initiative brought together more than 30 PPG employee volunteers from PPG's Barcelona and Rubí sites, along with community partners, to revitalize the school and create a more colorful, inspiring environment.

The project focused on refreshing and enhancing the school's common spaces, auditorium and other high-traffic areas used by students, families and community members. PPG provided financial and material support totaling approximately $48,000 (42,000 euros), including more than 270 liters of SEIGNEURIE® and other paint products by PPG.

Products used include Seigneurie Premior Satin paint, a low-carbon formulation designed to help reduce the carbon footprint of building projects while delivering a durable satin finish with excellent resistance to impact, dirt and fingerprints. Volunteers also applied PPG Polydurthane Satinado enamel, a water-based product offering excellent color retention, weather resistance and long-lasting performance.

The project also includes custom interior murals created by Girona-based mural artist Pau Morales. Inspired by music, creativity and learning, the artworks incorporate musical instruments and artistic elements, reflecting the school's vibrant educational environment and celebrates the role of its auditorium as an important venue for concerts and cultural events.

"For more than 60 years, our school has served the local community through education, collaboration and creativity," said Clara Ochoa, principal of Escola Els Porxos. "This project has refreshed important shared spaces for our students and families while also enhancing the auditorium and other areas used for concerts, workshops and community activities. We are grateful to PPG and its volunteers for helping create a more welcoming and inspiring environment for everyone."

The project is expected to positively impact more than 200 students, teachers and school staff, while also enhancing facilities that serve hundreds of local community members who attend concerts, workshops and other activities throughout the year.

"PPG has supported Colorful Communities projects in Barcelona before, but this is the first time our Barcelona and Rubí teams have joined forces on a single project," said Cem Ogmen, PPG site leader, Barcelona Office. "It has been inspiring to work together with the school and community partners to create spaces that encourage creativity, learning and a strong sense of community."

The Colorful Communities program, PPG's signature initiative for supporting communities, aims to protect and beautify the neighborhoods where PPG operates around the world.
