Mission

Bridgestone’s mission came about as a result of the commitment of its founder, Shojiro Ishibashi, to Serve Society with Superior Quality.

Since beginning as a small tire supplier in Japan in 1930, and through the present day as a leading global company, Bridgestone has always worked with the conviction that it can make the world a better place. At a time when others were focused primarily on generating profits, Shojiro Ishibashi believed that a company that contributes to society will always be successful.

The Bridgestone Essence

To achieve its mission, Bridgestone has established a set of shared values called Foundations, which demonstrate our commitment to providing customers with products and services of the best quality while giving back to the communities in which we operate. The Bridgestone Essence is comprised of the philosophy of the company’s founder, our corporate culture, and the diversity that the company has achieved.
