goal
11

Ensure women’s full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making in political, economic and public life.

target
11.2

Contribute to building new strategic frameworks for improved modes of sustainable transport through strong engagement with cross-sectoral and multistakeholder groups.

our actions

goal
12

By 2030, achieve the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources. By 2030, achieve the environmentally sound management of chemicals and all wastes throughout their life cycle, in accordance with agreed international frameworks, and significantly reduce their release to air, water and soil in order to minimize their adverse impacts on human health and the environment. By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse. Encourage companies, especially large and transnational companies, to adopt sustainable practices and to integrate sustainability information into their reporting cycle. By 2030, ensure that people everywhere have the relevant information and awareness for sustainable development and lifestyles in harmony with nature.

target
12.2

Accelerate the sustainable mobility transition by raising awareness of the impact of user behavior, designing connected and intelligent tires, and providing innovative digital solutions.

our actions

Create and promote standards and governance to accelerate data-sharing capacity among mobility actors and with public authorities to improve tire safety and efficiency (resource use) continuously.

TIP members are at the forefront of leveraging digital and smart solutions for innovative and sustainable mobility. Recognizing the potential for product innovation, they are actively engaged in the development of intelligent and connected (IC) tire products and services. IC tires are technologically advanced tires that gather data and transmit real-time information and predictive insights about their own condition or the surrounding environment to vehicle owners, fleet managers or tire manufacturers. These technologically advanced tires empower stakeholders with better information, enabling safer, more coordinated, and intelligent vehicle use.

 

Beyond product development, TIP members have a longstanding commitment to collaborating with vendors and users, fostering awareness and driving behavior change. This collaborative effort aims to advance safe mobility practices and reduce the life-cycle impacts of tires, showcasing TIP members’ dedication to transformative and sustainable solutions in the tire industry
