Value Add

Sustainability is embedded in corporate strategy and reporting (the Sustainability Report has been published annually since 2011 and since 2024 is integrated into the Annual Report).
Product-level technical focus: explicit emphasis on minimizing rolling resistance while maximizing grip — tying R&D directly to environmental impact and vehicle performance.
Quantified public sustainability targets and metrics (e.g., 'Metric tons of CO2-e (Combined own Scope 1 and market-based Scope 2 GHG emissions)', 'Input of renewable and recycled materials in tire production').
Strong external validation and transparency: presence in indices (FTSE4Good, DAX® 50 ESG), high/leadership ESG scores (CDP Platinum, ECPI, etc.) and multiple third-party ratings cited on the site.
Use of formal materiality and reporting frameworks (double materiality assessment; references to EU Taxonomy, CSRD, ESRS).
