Bridgestone named in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for second year

Bridgestone has been mentioned in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for the second consecutive year and the Dow Jones Sustainability Asia Pacific Index for the eighth consecutive year. These indices, maintained collaboratively by S&P Dow Jones Indices and RobecoSAM, measure the performance of the world's sustainability leaders based on a comprehensive analysis of long-term economic, environmental and social criteria.

Bridgestone achieved yet again the highest score in the Auto Components industry sector in the environmental dimension and the maximum score of 100 in two environmental assessment criteria - climate strategy and environmental reporting. Bridgestone also obtained the highest score in its sector for environmental policy and management systems, and product stewardship in the environmental dimension, innovation management in the economic dimension and corporate citizenship and philanthropy in the social dimension.

In March 2017, the Bridgestone Group launched its global Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitment, 'Our Way to Serve'. 'Our Way to Serve' organises Bridgestone's CSR efforts under three Priority Areas - Mobility, People and Environment - to improve the way people move, live, work and play through innovation and technology. Along with these priority areas, the group continues to strengthen the basic governance, compliance and behavioural characteristics expected of any responsible company through its management fundamentals.
