✅ Reported Environmental Achievements
- Achieved Milestone 2020 goals in 2019, ahead of schedule, including reducing water withdrawal intensity by 40% and CO2 intensity (Scope 1 and 2) by 34% (vs. 2005)
- Three tire manufacturing facilities (Bilbao, Puente San Miguel and Burgos) and one tire cord facility (Usansolo), all in Spain, sourced 100% of their electricity from renewable sources in 2018. Additionally, three facilities in Europe (Tatabanya, Hungary, and Stargard and Poznan, Poland) are powered by 100% renewable electricity in 2020.
- 23% reduction (from a 2005 baseline) in tire rolling resistance, equal to a contribution of approximately 13.4 million tonnes CO2 reduction
🎯 Climate & Sustainability Targets
📅 Medium-term
- Reduce absolute CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 30% and aspire to reduce by 50% by 2030
- Contribute to global CO2 emissions reduction across the lifecycle and value chain (Scope 3) of products and services exceeding five times our operation’s (Scope 1 and 2) CO2 emissions by 2030
- Increase ratio of recycled and renewable material to 40% by 2030
- Execute water stewardship plan at manufacturing facilities in water stress areas by 2030
🔭 Long-term
- 2050 long-term environmental vision: In balance with nature, towards 100% sustainable materials, contribute to globally agreed target (towards Carbon Neutral society)
