Bridgestone Corporation has been included in the STOXX Global ESG Leaders Index, a stock investment index focused on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. The news, announced on 24 September, marks the second consecutive year that Bridgestone has been listed in the index.
Organised by STOXX Ltd, a Swiss subsidiary of Deutsche Börse AG, the index compiles companies that meet the necessary criteria in accordance with surveys of 1,800 major companies conducted by Holland-based Sustainalytics, one of the world’s largest independent ESG evaluation companies.
Bridgestone Group’s Mid-Long Term Business Strategy positions sustainability at its core and targets sustainable growth to be achieved together with society, customers, and partners. In addition, the company has established Milestone 2030, a new set of medium-term environmental targets to be accomplished by 2030. These targets aim to accelerate the company’s ambition toward “decoupling,” or improving the overall efficiency of natural resource utilization, to further reduce its environmental impact and achieve its long-term environmental vision toward 2050 and beyond.
