TIP identified seven opportunity areas where the tire sector can have transformative impact and contribute to the SDGs across three main themes: supply chain, operations, and products and services.

goal
9

By 2030, upgrade infrastructure and retrofit industries to make them sustainable, with increased resource use efficiency and greater adoption of clean and environmentally sound technologies and industrial processes, all countries taking action in accordance with their respective capabilities. Enhance scientific research, upgrade the technological capabilities of industrial sectors in all countries, in particular developing countries, including, by 2030, encouraging innovation and substantially increasing the number of research and development workers per 1 million people and public and private research and development spending.

target
9.4

Develop pathways to decarbonize operations, reduce emissions and ensure the sustainable use of natural resources.

our actions

Expand the use of low-carbon energy sources and optimization practices to mitigate emissions and move towards net-zero emissions for scope 1 and 2 by 2050.

Upgrade and retrofit infrastructure to increase resource-use efficiency and greater adoption of sustainable technologies and industrial processes, including building capability and incentivizing the sharing of best practices.

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

Develop pathways to decarbonize operations, reduce emissions and ensure the sustainable use of natural resources.

our actions

Accelerate and scale best practices to optimize distribution and logistics operations by using alternative fuels and implementing technologies that improve fuel efficiency, load optimization and routes (and cascade these best practices to suppliers if they manage logistics).

goal
6

By 2030, substantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity, and substantially reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity

target
6.4

Develop pathways to decarbonize operations, reduce emissions and ensure the sustainable use of natural resources.

our actions

Apply risk management concepts to drive water stewardship efficiency and address physical, regulatory and operational risks.
