Bridgestone European locations powered by renewable energy

Brussels – Bridgestone has converted 100% of its electricity consumption across Europe to renewable resources as part of its pledge to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

In a 22 March statement, Bridgestone Europe, Middle East, India and Africa (EMIA) said all its European tire plants; R&D centre and proving ground in Rome; retreading factory in Lanklaar, Belgium; textile plant in Usansolo, Spain; and its headquarters in Brussels now consume 100% renewable electricity.

As a next step, the tire maker said it is now investing to reduce CO2 emissions across the lifecycle of its products and entire value chain.

“Reducing our CO2 emissions is a key pillar of our long-term sustainability vision, which is why I can’t emphasise enough the significance of this milestone,” said Bridgestone EMIA CTO & COO, Emilio Tiberio.
