Community Activities (eco-Project)

The Bridgestone Group aims to foster environmental awareness in children, the leaders of tomorrow, and encourages people to recognize the importance of nature. To achieve this, we promote various efforts which can contribute to environment through social activities, named “eco-Project”.

We are focusing on the following 4 areas.

Prevention of global warming:
Contributing to a reduction in CO2 emissions, which is regarded as one of the most serious causes of global warming
Biodiversity protection:
Contributing to preserving and recovering nature to protect the original ecosystem unique to each area
Educating the next generation:
Promoting understanding of environment for communities, especially among children
Moving towards a recycling-oriented society:
Create a sustainable society through resource saving, energy saving and 3R activities etc.

MAKE CARS GREEN

“MAKE CARS GREEN” is a global environmental campaign which was started by the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile) in 2008. It has aimed to help reduce the impact of cars on the environment and help drivers think “green” before they drive. Bridgestone has continuously promoted this environmental initiative by communicating “10 points for greener monitoring” to motorists in each country since its start.
