Green Policies, Regulations & Standards

PPG’s supplier framework operates as a procurement-driven coatings and specialty materials governance system. It combines the Global Supplier Code of Conduct, Supplier Sustainability Policy, Responsible Minerals Sourcing Policy, upstream Scope 3 supplier engagement, and product carbon footprint data development. PPG states that approximately 96% of its greenhouse gas emissions are in the value chain and that it works with key suppliers representing most upstream Scope 3 emissions. Suppliers must provide environmental, raw-material carbon, responsible minerals, chemical safety, logistics, and product data where relevant. Enforcement operates through procurement access, supplier engagement, documentation review, and corrective action.

AkzoNobel operates a supplier governance framework combining its Responsible Sourcing Policy, supplier sustainability programme, Together for Sustainability participation, product carbon footprint data collection and value-chain climate target. The framework exists to manage climate, chemical safety, raw materials, packaging, logistics, product stewardship and responsible sourcing risks across paints, coatings and specialty chemical supply chains. It affects raw-material suppliers, resin and pigment suppliers, solvent and additive suppliers, packaging suppliers, logistics providers, contractors and strategic suppliers contributing to AkzoNobel’s Scope 3 emissions and customer-facing sustainability claims.

Chemours’ supplier framework operates as a procurement-driven specialty chemicals governance system. It combines the Supplier Code of Conduct, Responsible Procurement programme, supplier sustainability resources, product carbon footprint data collection through the TfS PCF Exchange, Scope 3 supplier collaboration, responsible minerals surveys and EHS controls. Suppliers must support ethical conduct, environmental stewardship, safe operations, emissions transparency, raw-material traceability and product-carbon data where relevant. Strategic suppliers in fluorochemical feedstocks, titanium technologies, logistics, minerals, contractors and advanced materials face the strongest obligations because their performance affects Chemours’ Scope 3 emissions, product carbon footprints, regulatory compliance and customer claims.

Opel is governed through Stellantis’ responsible purchasing and supply-chain climate framework. Suppliers are selected and managed using environmental criteria such as ISO 14001 certification, green or recycled material capability, and their ability to support Stellantis’ carbon neutrality roadmap. The framework operates as procurement-driven private regulation because supplier access depends on responsible purchasing compliance, emissions data, environmental management, lifecycle design, and circularity readiness. Major suppliers in batteries, metals, plastics, electronics, and logistics face the strongest obligations due to their impact on Scope 3 emissions and Opel vehicle lifecycle performance.

The framework links procurement, franchised-property emissions, energy, water, waste, food waste, construction, FF&E, and supplier climate targets. Marriott’s 2028 supplier engagement target requires 22 percent of suppliers by emissions covering purchased goods and services, capital goods, and upstream transportation and distribution to have science-based targets.
