Driving Tire Innovation: Pirelli on Materials, Circularity and Net Zero

To kick us off, what are the biggest sustainability challenges and opportunities facing your industry today?
M
3:37Maureen KlineGUEST
So starting with raw materials, as you mentioned in your intro, the tire industry does have agriculture in its supply chain.
M
3:45Maureen KlineGUEST
So that's the natural rubber, which grows on trees, mostly in Southeast Asia, some in Brazil.
M
3:52Maureen KlineGUEST
And so we have an issue of responsible sourcing just like palm oil just like soy and so on other agricultural products so we're very involved in the challenge and opportunity of zero deforestation of human rights in the supply chain in the natural rubber supply chain Together with our competitors, we've formed a roundtable.
M
4:18Maureen KlineGUEST
It's called the Global Platform for Sustainable Natural Rubber out of Singapore.

4:23Maureen KlineGUEST
And we also do a lot on natural rubber on our own in terms of, for example, FSC certification, the Forest Stewardship Council certification, which you normally find on photocopy paper and so on.
