Bridgestone US tyre plant gains ISCC PLUS

The Bridgestone passenger/light truck tyre manufacturing facility in Wilson, USA has earned International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS recognition for its transparency and traceability of sustainable raw materials. It is the second Bridgestone tyre manufacturing facility in the country to gain this certification

“This recognition speaks to the commitment, dedication and diligence of each of our Wilson teammates who are committed to safe, sustainable operations that ultimately provide our customers with high-quality tyres,” says Barry Owens, senior vice president, Bridgestone Americas Manufacturing Group. “We continue to implement enhanced sustainable operational systems and processes across our global manufacturing footprint.”

“The ISCC PLUS certification for our Wilson, North Carolina manufacturing facility is an important mile marker in our journey to a sustainable solutions company as it is just the second tyre plant in America to receive the certification, following Bridgestone’s Aiken County passenger/light truck tyre facility,” adds Hans Dorfi, senior vice president of engineering at Bridgestone Americas. “Sustainable manufacturing is a core element of our 2050 commitments, and we will continue to implement changes to the processes at our manufacturing facilities to work toward a sustainable mobility future.”

The Wilson passenger plant has been operating for 49 years and produces passenger and light truck tyres, including fitments for OEMs.
