Bridgestone Strengthens Investment in Natural Rubber Plantations in Southeast Asia

Bridgestone Corporation has recently approved plans to strengthen investments in natural rubber plantations it owns in Southeast Asia. Bridgestone will invest U.S.$26.7 million in total by 2030. These investments will be targeted at ensuring a sustainable supply of natural rubber, a material used in producing tires.

At the same time, the Bridgestone Group will bolster its initiatives to contribute to circular economies and carbon neutrality across the entire value chain through sustainable operation of natural rubber plantations.

These initiatives align with the “Bridgestone E8 Commitment” to support the realisation of a sustainable society:
