Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Bridgestone Americas

Bridgestone E8 Commitment

We’re thinking ahead—to the year 2050, specifically. That may seem a long way off, but in the context of global sustainability, it’s the blink of an eye.

Thinking ahead means thinking bigger, beyond just what we do for individual customers. We’re focused on delivering value for society and our customers by improving the way people move, live, work and play today and for generations to come.

This is what led us to introduce the Bridgestone E8 Commitment. To earn the trust of current and future generations, Bridgestone has established eight values to solidify our commitment to a more sustainable world. The Bridgestone E8 Commitment connects to every aspect of our business and guides our decision-making throughout the development and delivery of our products, services and solutions. It also contributes to the further evolution and development of our global team.

Environmental Sustainability

Bridgestone focuses on caring for the Earth’s natural resources with integrity and leads the way in moving toward a waste-free mobility industry.

Exist in Harmony with Nature.
We are committed to finding the most environmentally responsible ways to operate and make our products. Towards this goal, we maintain certified wildlife habitats at our manufacturing facilities and participate in water conservation.

Value Natural resources.
As a responsible steward of the environment, we focus on diversifying the world’s natural rubber supply and reducing, reusing and recycling wherever possible.

Reduce Co2 Emissions.
Bridgestone will work to reduce CO2 emissions by 50% (compared to a 2011 baseline) and contribute to reducing by more than five times the amount of its CO2 emissions across its value chain.

Community Impact and Philanthropy

Since 1931, Bridgestone Americas’ global mission, “serving society with superior quality,” has guided everything that we do. Our teammates serve around the world through charitable giving, volunteering, and on boards of non-profit organizations. In the last five years, the Bridgestone Americas Trust Fund contributed over 10 million dollars to organizations serving the communities where our teammates live, work, and play.

Bridgestone will continue to support previously funded organizations who serve society in four broad areas of focus: Health & Social Services, Environment & Conservation, STEM & Education, & Equity & Inclusion.
