Introduction

It deals with manufacturing, distribution and selling of paints, floor coverings, industrial, commercial and customer retail products in parts of North and South America and Europe. As of 2020, the company operates in more than 120 countries. 
Sherwin Williams was founded in 1884 by Henry Sherwin and Edward Williams. The company was expanded gradually through acquisition and mergers of various companies in the 19th and the 20th century. It was declared as the largest coating manufacturer in United States in the 1920s. The company is also traded in the NYSE as well as S&P 500. The major products of Sherwin Williams are paints, coatings, stains, caulks and sealants. Recently, the company started research and development works in painting and coatings in Brecksville, Ohio.

The revenue of the company was $18.36 billion as of 2020 and there are almost 61031 employees working currently. 
Impact of COVID-19 
The rise in COVID-19's cost of doing business has stalled productivity growth, and the complexity of doing business in a socially distanced world has raised the cost of operating. 
However, the slow growth of productivity has been associated with the economic decline of the past decade, and the rise of COVID-19 has also reduced productivity by making it harder to manage. Moreover, at the start of 2020, climate change became more of a factor that affected businesses' long-term plans. Despite COVID-19's impact, 48% of CEOs still consider climate change to contribute to their company's bottom line.
