INTEGRATED VOC and CO2 REPORTING

With our automated ordering system, StockManager, you can easily create VOC and CO2 reports when needed.

In our commitment to sustainability, we have integrated VOC and CO₂ reporting features into our ordering tool, PPG StockManager.

With these new features, you can:

  • Easily track monthly CO₂ emissions and
  • Generate your own VOC and CO₂ reports at the end of the year.

Our tool differentiates between products used and those still in stock, providing a clearer picture of your environmental impact.

 

SUSTAINABILITY TRAINING

PPG offers face-to-face and online trainings on Sustainability. At our Copenhagen Training Center we offer the course “Sustainable Bodyshop Solutions” with focus on sustainable and resource-efficient repair processes.

Participants will gain an understanding of the importance of prioritizing sustainable production in the workshop. The course includes a lot of practical tips on how to make the transition; both in terms of

  • Which products to use.
  • How to set goals and follow up on them.
  • Insight into the tools PPG offers to support your company in the process towards a more sustainable production.

The course is for business managers and workshop managers who want to know how to create a sustainable and profitable paint shop. Take a look at our Training Catalogue here: Trainings.

CO2 EMISSION REDUCTION REPORTS

Data-based recommendations to reduce your carbon footprint.

We offer to monitor your full carbon footprint, considering scope 1, 2 and 3. Based on data input, we generate a Carbon Footprint Product Analysis (CFP) for your bodyshop and advice on changing processes to reduce CO2 emissions.

In the total Carbon Footprint Analysis – paint is one part of the calculation but it is not the largest part of the calculation. 
To lower your CO2 emissions, it is worth considering:

  • Changing processes to minimize time and reduce energy.
  • Using replaced parts instead of new parts.

TRAFFIC LIGHT SCANNING

Guides you towards a more sustainable product portfolio.

By using a Traffic Light system, we offer to scan the products you buy and check if they can be replaced by more sustainable advanced products in the same category.

The Traffic Light labelling gives you a simple overview of your products in each category; red, yellow, and green.
