Bridgestone receives highest
rating in CDP’s
supplier engagement rating for second consecutive year
Bridgestone Corporation (Bridgestone) today announced that it has been
identified as a global leader for its actions and strategies to manage carbon
and climate change across its supply chain for a second time. Bridgestone has
been awarded a position on the supplier engagement leader board, receiving the
highest rating A in Supplier Engagement Rating, by CDP,* for the second
consecutive year. Bridgestone also has been identified as a global leader in
sustainable water management with inclusion in the CDP’s Water A List.
As part of its global
CSR commitment, “Our Way to Serve,” Bridgestone is working to help ensure a
healthy environment for current and future generations. The Bridgestone Group
has set a long-term environmental vision for the year 2050 and beyond. This
vision aims to strike a Group-wide balance between business operations and
environmental protection.
The Group is reducing
CO2 emissions throughout all areas of its products’ lifecycles from
raw material procurement to manufacturing, distribution, use and disposal or
recycling in order to contribute to the creation of a sustainable society. These
efforts led to its inclusion in the supplier engagement leader board with the
highest rating A.
The Supplier
Engagement Rating is an initiative that CDP launched for the first time in
2017. More than 3,300 companies were assessed by CDP on their supply-chain
engagement strategies. Bridgestone was
among 58 companies that received the highest rating A and was awarded a
position on the supplier engagement leader board in recognition of its actions
to reduce emissions and lower climate-related risks in the supply chain in the
past reporting year.
