PPG (NYSE: PPG) today announced that its board of directors ranked in the top ten among the boards of more than 650 American corporations, according to a study of governance capacity that was released by JamesDruryPartners.

The ninth annual “The Weight of America’s Boards” study scored PPG’s board among the top ten in terms of business accomplishments, leadership roles served with companies and the relative value of their experience. This is the PPG board’s eighth appearance on the top ten list for strongest U.S. boards since JamesDruryPartners began conducting this study in 2011.

“It is an honor for PPG to have its board of directors recognized for their exceptional governance,” said Tim Knavish, PPG chairman and chief executive officer. “The board’s vast experience and proven leadership capabilities help to further strengthen PPG, guide its strategic direction, and deliver increased shareholder value.”

"The Weight of America’s Boards" study examines the boards of the largest U.S. public companies as measured by revenue and by market capitalization. The report was established to offer an objective view of the governance capacity of the largest U.S. corporations, based on the premise that the quality of board directors’ collective business acumen provides the primary measurable factor indicating a board’s capacity to govern well.

The PPG Board of Directors is comprised of the following:

  • Timothy M. Knavish, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, PPG
  • Kathy L. Fortmann, Chief Executive Officer, Amyris, Inc.
  • Melanie L. Healey, Former Group President, North America, The Procter & Gamble Company
