As an organization established to offer products that preserve and protect, sustainability is part of Sherwin-Williams history. The Company’s Sustainability by Design program is a signature effort to intentionally consider sustainability attributes and life cycle thinking, including circular principles, in its product innovation and development processes. Beyond making choices to reduce the environmental impact of our products, the Company is also elevating their many beneficial applications, such as extending the life of assets. Sherwin-Williams also includes sustainability considerations in material sourcing, manufacturing and product end-of-life. Sherwin-Williams evaluates its products for a range of sustainability characteristics and produces Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) that help customers choose paints and coatings that are right for them.

The Company is also paying close attention to the Environmental Footprint of its operations. As a solutions provider to businesses worldwide — across a range of industries — making and moving products in more environmentally efficient ways helps both Sherwin-Williams and its customers reduce their value-chain impacts. The Company is working to reduce environmental impact with a set of key goals to achieve across its operations by 2030. It uses innovation and a continuous improvement approach toward reducing its carbon emissions, energy consumption and waste generation while expanding its renewable energy use.

Sherwin-Williams continually seeks to further embed sustainability within its business and value chain. The Company also takes an integrated approach to the stakeholders it serves, seeking to meet the needs of its customers, create and maximize value for its shareholders, and advance the well-being of communities.
