The PPG group is joining forces with AFM-Téléthon to improve the daily lives of hospitalized patients.

Since 2018, the group has demonstrated its commitment to AFM-Téléthon by voluntarily transforming multidisciplinary consultation spaces to contribute to a more welcoming environment and improve the daily lives of patients, their families, and healthcare staff. 26 hospital departments and Téléthon living spaces have already benefited from renovations thanks to the mobilization of more than 1.000 PPG employee volunteers.

For the 2025 Telethon, more than 70 employees of the PPG group in France mobilized, with the painter Carole Lombardo, to beautify services at the Lenval University Pediatric Hospital in Nice and the Raymond-Poincaré AP-HP Hospital in Garches.

PPG employees transformed the waiting areas, corridors, and consultation rooms into a more welcoming and calming atmosphere. They created a mural designed by Carole Lombardo, inspired by the colors, light, and culture of the French Riviera, drawing inspiration from local icons such as Henri Matisse and Niki de Saint Phalle, as well as the fauna, flora, and cultural events of the Côte d'Azur.

PPG employees have beautified corridors, offices, common areas and consultation rooms to create a joyful, stimulating and inclusive environment for the young patients of the service which allows intensive rehabilitation care associated with adapted schooling.

The mural imagined by Carole Lombardo combines dynamic shapes and natural elements – trees, skies and floral motifs – with subtle symbols of courage and resilience, for a magical and playful universe where every child can recognize themselves through color and creativity.

The painter Carole Lombardo signs her 4th partnership with PPG for the Telethon.

For Carole Lombardo: “I am delighted to renew my partnership with PPG for the Telethon. At the heart of this initiative, human and collective values ​​take precedence: volunteers, caregivers, and partners join forces to create colorful murals on the hospital walls, murals that bring well-being and hope to hospitalized children. I envisioned designs inspired by nature, light, the horizon, and magic. These themes are both comforting and stimulating, capable of opening a space for reverie and calm within the hospital environment, which is often a place where children spend their days. If these murals, even for just a moment, capture their attention, make them smile, and bring them comfort, it will be a great success.”

PPG's contribution to the 2025 Telethon amounts to approximately 39.800 euros, including 450 liters of PPG SEIGNEURIE® paint and in particular the Evolutex Low Carbon range, selected for its reduced carbon footprint thanks to the integration of bio-based raw materials.

According to Justus Tichelman, Managing Director of PPG Architectural Coatings France & FOS: “The partnership with AFM-Téléthon embodies and brings to life PPG’s mission to protect and beautify the world. This year again, many PPG employees are joining forces with Téléthon to renovate healthcare facilities and make this event a great moment of sharing and togetherness. We are very proud of this.”
