Activities and Initiatives

In All Four Phases of Our Value Chain, We Are Committed to Sustainability in a Variety of Ways


Design & Sourcing: at least 40 percent share of recycled and renewable production materials in our tires by 2030

To achieve this, we have defined a set of concrete actions. These focus on key levers, such as identifying and introducing suitable materials, securing a reliable supply, and ensuring traceability. The latter is implemented through the universally recognized mass balance approach, for example.

These measures are closely aligned with our overarching approach to circularity. To enable us to respond to evolving market conditions and stakeholder expectations, we continuously refine and expand our initiatives step by step.
