Bridgestone Achieves 71% Reduction in Manufacturing Emissions Across EMEA
Bridgestone has announced two significant milestones in its ongoing decarbonization strategy across its manufacturing operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), marking further progress toward its long-term sustainability ambitions.
According to the company, its latest 2025 Carbon Footprint Assessment shows that Bridgestone's EMEA manufacturing facilities have achieved a 71% reduction in combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions compared with the 2019 baseline. The reported figures have been independently verified by LRQA, providing additional assurance regarding the accuracy and transparency of the company's environmental reporting.
The achievement reflects Bridgestone's continued investments in improving the environmental performance of its production network through measures such as increased energy efficiency, renewable electricity adoption and operational optimization.
In addition to the emissions milestone, Bridgestone has also completed the transition to a new digital Carbon Footprint Calculator, representing a major enhancement in the company's carbon accounting capabilities. The new platform significantly improves the collection, analysis and reporting of emissions data while enabling more detailed assessments at the individual manufacturing site level.
The enhanced digital reporting system is expected to provide greater visibility into emissions performance across Bridgestone's production facilities, helping identify further opportunities to reduce carbon emissions and support data-driven sustainability initiatives.
The latest developments underline Bridgestone's commitment to reducing the environmental impact of its manufacturing operations and advancing its broader sustainability strategy across the EMEA region.
As the tyre industry continues to accelerate its transition toward lower-carbon manufacturing, transparent emissions reporting and digital carbon management tools are becoming increasingly important for tracking progress and supporting science-based climate targets.
*Scope 1 emissions refer to direct greenhouse gas emissions from company-owned or controlled sources, while Scope 2 emissions cover indirect emissions associated with purchased electricity, steam, heating and cooling.
