Bridgestone works with its suppliers on the creation of new opportunities to leave a positive footprint that not only raises the level of regulatory compliance, safety and quality, cost, and delivery, but also creates value for the entire supply chain through environmental best practices, respect for Human Rights, support for fair work practices, and transparency. With this, Bridgestone makes a positive contribution to the local communities touched by the supply chain.

Bridgestone recently launched its Global Sustainable Procurement Policy that supports the vision of creating value for society through the sustainable management of its supply processes.

Today there are four principles that guide this important aspect of the business:

1. Transparency

Bridgestone understands that transparency is crucial for business in general since it points directly to two key objectives: traceability and good governance.

2. Regulatory compliance

Bridgestone is committed to complying with all laws and regulations established by each country or region in which it operates and to working with suppliers on the promotion of relevant international standards and compliance with the same.

3. Quality, Cost, Delivery (QCD), and innovation

Bridgestone works with its suppliers on identifying the best way to ensure the delivery of quality services and materials on time and at a reasonable cost. In addition, the company consistently strives to improve its products by increasing durability, recycling and reusing materials, as well as offering tire renewal services.

4. Sustainable procurement practices

Bridgestone believes that sustainable procurement practices include responsibility for the environment, respect for human rights and land use, health, safety, disaster prevention, and resilience.
