North America Global Supply Chain (GSC) sites participating in OSHA VPP attended the annual VPP Participants’ Association (VPPPA) Safety+ Symposium in Washington, D.C. This annual event encourages engagement between employees from VPP-certified sites across the country with an objective of improving safety, growing professionally and sharing ideas. Nearly 70 Sherwin-Williams employees, including EHS managers, specialists, brush makers, paint batch makers and fillers from 22 sites, attended the symposium.

Employees were chosen to attend based on their vital roles in supporting VPP at their respective sites, such as participating on committees, supporting EHS daily initiatives and guiding VPP recertification. Sherwin-Williams employees led symposium workshops and presented a booth at the expo hall showcasing our EHS approach. Our participation in the 2022 Safety+ Symposium highlights the importance of VPP to our Company, and the program continues to inspire our team members to achieve excellence in health and safety daily.
