We serve our communities
​​​​​​​We believe we share a responsibility, both as a company and as individual citizens, to support positive change and growth in the communities where we work and live, and to conduct business in a manner that safeguards our environment. These beliefs reflect our overarching commitment to doing the right thing.

FreshArtists

Behr’s partnership with Fresh Artists goes back almost 10 years. Fresh Artists delivers art supplies and innovative art programs to severely underfunded, low-income public schools in all 50 states, supporting underserved children, 88% of whom are children of color.

Behr donates obsolete paint chips, otherwise destined for a landfill, which are then transformed into brilliant artwork through Fresh Artists’ innovative “Chip Art” self-portrait art program, impacting more than 300,000 students to date. Through their Young Philanthropists Program, children are invited to donate their artwork to “go to work” to help other children.​​​​​

Behr’s grants support the delivery of this ground-breaking art educational tool currently offered in both virtual and in-school teaching environments. Adam Aquino, Behr’s plant manager in Allentown, PA, is a long-term volunteer and member of their board of trustees.
Housing Grants

We believe that safe, decent, affordable homes are fundamental for the growth of family and the community at large. Our long-term philanthropy partners includeThe Home Depot Foundation, HomeAid, and Habitat for Humanity.
Community Development Grants

We support community programs that foster prosperity, allowing our communities and team members to thrive. Here are a few of our partners:  Atlanta Community Food Bank, Greater Chicago Food Depository, Mental Health America of Licking County, OH, National Wildlife Federation, PFLAG, and Acquarium of the Pacific.

City of Hope

With a partnership extending more than 25 years, our commitment to City of Hope runs deep. Behr team members support City of Hope through corporate and employee donations, assorted employee fundraisers, blood drives, and annual golf events. 
In-kind Product Donations
Every year, we donate thousands of gallons of paint products to charitable organizations throughout the US. Oftentimes, these donations are coordinated with a team event, where Behr team members help with painting projects. Recipients include Child Creativity Lab, HomeAid Colorado, LGBTQ Center OC, Sunshine on a Ranney Day, and New Mexico Veterans Memorial.

Behr was honored to sponsor the Maya Angelou Mural Festival in collaboration with the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). Using donated Behr paint, 30 artists were commissioned to paint a series of murals throughout the Dr. Maya Angelou Community High School during a one-week span.
Supplier Diversity

Supplier Diversity
Through our supplier diversity program, we aspire to build a bench of suppliers that reflects both our consumer base and team member base. To that end, we’re increasing our partnerships with businesses that are at least 51% owned and operated by an individual or group that is part of a historically underrepresented or underserved community (e.g., minorities, women, persons with disabilities, LGBTQ+, veterans).
Sustainability
SUSTAINABILITY
Being a good corporate citizen is a part of who we are, and we constantly look for ways to make positive, sustainable changes. We continue to make efforts to reduce our own carbon footprint and improve our operational performance in ways that respect our environment.
This includes areas like manufacturing sustainable coating products that are verified to meet UL Greenguard® certification, MPI Green Performance™ Standard, or both; reducing our impact on water resources in manufacturing processes; and setting annual goals to reduce electricity, trash, and waste.
