One Team, One Planet
Our goal is to help ensure a healthy environment for current and future generations, and we believe that every business has a part to play and a responsibility to uphold. We are proud of our commitment to the environment, our achievements and the recognition we’ve received for our environmental efforts. This commitment to a more sustainable society is evident in our three primary environmental objectives:
1. Be in harmony with nature.
We have taken on the responsibility of contributing to biodiversity protection through habitat enhancement on the land we own, through leading environmental education programs and through promoting environmental research for innovation in our products at our research and development facilities.
2. Value natural resources.
We continually work to decrease the amount of natural resources required for our products and processes through operational improvements and our product designs. We also continue to decrease the amount of waste we generate. For example, three of our tyre manufacturing facilities have achieved zero-waste-to-landfill status.
3. Reduce our CO2 and other significant emissions.
We continually work to reduce emissions, not only in our direct footprint, but also within the lifecycle of our products. Our company’s goal is to achieve a 35% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2020 and a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2050 and beyond.
