Bridgestone’s Hispania Burgos Plant wins Mobility Week Award
European Mobility Week is an EU backed awareness raising campaign aiming at “sensibilising citizens to the use of public transport, cycling, walking and at encouraging European cities to promote these modes of transport and to invest in the new necessary infrastructures.” Held between September 16 and 22, the 2010 event attracted the attention of national and local authorities throughout the region, and cities and businesses that excelled in a particular area were awarded for their accomplishments. One such award recipient is Bridgestone, whose Hispania Burgos Plant won Spain’s European Mobility Week Award for “Best Practices”. This award, the tyre maker comments, recognises Bridgestone’s policies in the area of sustainable mobility and its commitment to raising awareness for the impact of how we move on both the environment and quality of life generally.
