WORLD BUSINESS COUNCIL FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (WBCSD)

WBCSD offers members the opportunity to participate in several programs and projects, including sector-specific projects like the Tire Industry Project (TIP). Goodyear has been a member of WBCSD for over 15 years as part of TIP.

TIRE INDUSTRY PROJECT (TIP)

Goodyear is a founding member of and leader in the WBCSD‘s Tire Industry Project (TIP), formed in 2005 as a global, voluntary, CEO-led initiative undertaken by leading tire companies. Together, TIP member companies, representing approximately 65 percent of the world’s tire manufacturing capacity, work to anticipate, identify, analyze and address the potential human health and environmental impacts associated with tire development, use and management throughout the tire’s lifecycle.

GLOBAL PLATFORM FOR SUSTAINABLE NATURAL RUBBER (GPSNR)

TIP members and other stakeholders, including automakers, rubber producers and traders and end users, launched the Global Platform for Sustainable Natural Rubber (GPSNR) in 2018 to move the natural rubber industry toward a sustainable natural rubber supply chain. In addition to being a GPSNR founding member, Goodyear continues to be an active member. We continue to prioritize direct engagement within GPSNR working groups, or indirect engagement as appropriate. We maintain a role on the Executive Committee representing the tiremaker category and serve as the co-chair for the Strategy & Objectives Working Group that completed the Environmental & Social Risk Studies and developed GPSNR’s Theory of Change.

THE CONFERENCE BOARD

As a non-partisan entity founded in 1916, The Conference Board delivers insights to member organizations in such areas as sustainability, corporate philanthropy, social responsibility, education and diversity & inclusion. Goodyear is a member of the organization’s Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Center and its Human Capital Center. We are also involved in several working groups and councils.

DRIVE SUSTAINABILITY

Drive Sustainability is a partnership of 16 leading automotive companies who are committed to creating a sustainable automotive value chain by leveraging a common voice in its engagement with suppliers, stakeholders and related sectors. Drive Sustainability is facilitated by CSR Europe.

TRADE ASSOCIATIONS

We explore and work collectively to improve various tire-related sustainability topics through our membership in several regional tire trade associations, including USTMA and ETRMA. Through ETRMA and USTMA, we are engaged in continuous dialogue with policymakers, industry, NGOs and academia, contributing to sustainable development objectives and regulations.
