Enhancing contribution

Para rubber trees are a major source of natural rubber, a critically important raw material for ensuring a sustainable supply chain for manufacturing tires. Natural rubber is a renewable resource that provides livelihood opportunities for millions of people around the world. The natural rubber economy is massive but fragmented, consisting of many complicated layers of raw material dealers, processing plants, rubber product manufacturers, and smallholder farmers. Most of this rubber is grown by farmers in Southeast Asia, where rubber trees are planted on both small farms and large plantations. Globally, rubber tree farming provides employment for more than 6 million people.

Bridgestone uses large volumes of natural rubber, but unfortunately, many farmers face efficiency challenges and the natural rubber they produce varies in quantity and quality. To help smallholder farmers improve the quantity and quality of their farming operations, Bridgestone provides high-quality Hevea rubber tree seedlings and conducts technical training in key producing countries. These training programs use the same productivity-improvement techniques it developed for its own rubber farms at the agricultural training center in the city of Siantar in North Sumatra in Indonesia. Bridgestone also implemented a technical training program for select instructor candidates.

Such initiatives are expected to improve the quality of natural rubber, increase income per unit area for the farmers, and help control the expansion of agricultural lands.

White root rot disease (WRD), which affects rubber trees—a natural rubber resource—is a disease that causes tree death by infecting the roots with pathogenic fungi and causing tissue decay. Since the onset is difficult to detect and discover, it poses a challenge to the sustainable and stable supply of natural rubber. Bridgestone is trying to combat this destructive disease.

AI-based disease diagnostic technology

In December 2020, Bridgestone announced the development of diagnostic technology that can successfully identify diseased trees across vast farm areas quickly and with about 90% accuracy, regardless of tree type or age. A joint project with Information Services International-Dentsu, Ltd., the drone-based technology merges aerial photography and AI image analysis to detect disease, with the knowledge of on-site farm disease experts to distinguish trees with WRD.

This technology makes it possible to diagnose and treat trees with WRD at an early stage, before the disease impacts rubber yield, thereby contributing to improved productivity at rubber farms.

Joint research on the prevention of white root rot disease in para rubber trees

In 2024, Bridgestone joined a project conducted by the Fukuoka Bio Community^*1 and has commenced a collaborative research initiative with Kyushu University, National Research and Indonesia’s Innovation Agency (Indonesian: Badan Riset dan Inovasi Nasional, BRIN). The goal of the research project is to develop technology to prevent white root rot disease (WRD) in para rubber trees and contribute to improved productivity at natural rubber plantations. By developing technology that prevents infection by the pathogenic fungi that cause WRD, the project aims to stabilize the yield of natural rubber and improve the stable productivity of natural rubber plantations.

*1 The Fukuoka Bio Community is a regional bio community certified in Japan based on the "Bio Strategy" promoted by the Cabinet Office. With Kurume Research Park serving as secretariat, Fukuoka Prefecture and Kurume City collaborate to create new industries and bio-ventures centered on biotechnology. The aim is to form a bio community composed of biotechnology-related companies and research institutions.

Bridgestone has launched joint research with Universitas Indonesia, Public University Corporation Yokohama City University, and Public University Corporation Maebashi Institute of Technology for the genetic analysis of para rubber trees. This collaboration will leverage trees and genetic information from Bridgestone's natural rubber farm in Indonesia^*1. Working together with the advanced technologies of the partner universities, the joint project aims to create a marker-assisted selection technology^*2 that enables early identification of elite trees (high-yielding, stable performers). Through this effort, Bridgestone and the partner universities seek to contribute to future improvements in the productivity and stable supply of natural rubber.

To help decouple business growth from its environmental impact and resource consumption, Bridgestone is working on research and development to improve the efficiency of farms producing para rubber tree-derived natural rubber, which is currently used to produce tires.

In January 2021, Bridgestone announced that it had developed a system for implementing plans for optimal tree planting over more than 30 years. Rubber tree plantations use different tree clones over vast areas and face many different management issues, such as how to optimize the number of trees in a planting area and harvest procedures. In consultation with the Institute of Statistical Mathematics, an academic research organization in Japan, Bridgestone developed an innovative system that addresses these issues to provide higher farm yields and contribute to a sustainable rubber supply over the long term. Leveraging big data that includes various farm data, yield projections, and tree varieties, the system uses a mathematical model developed by Bridgestone together with a programming approach to derive optimal solutions for planting trees. These solutions include guidance on which tree clones to plant and when, where, and how many to plant.

Going forward, Bridgestone will further customize the system before offering it for use at other farms, aiming to contribute to a sustainable and stable global supply of natural rubber.

Near PT. Bridgestone Kalimantan Plantation (BSKP) in Indonesia’s South Kalimantan Province, there is a neglected state-owned forest that has been destroyed by fire. The W-BRIDGE Initiative, jointly operated by Bridgestone and Waseda University from 2012 to 2020, implemented a project to revitalize this forest by means of a citizen-based forestry program. In addition to Waseda University and BSKP, the Japan International Forestry Promotion and Cooperation Center (JIFPRO), Lambung Mangkurat University and the Tanah Laut Regency Forestry Department also collaborated in the project.

The project helped local citizens plant rubber trees and other agricultural products in the forest, as well as native trees and shrubs that used to grow there long ago. This forest management project provided high economic value for the community and contributed to conserving biodiversity. Local residents also conducted patrols and other activities to prevent forest fires. These activities empowered residents to become self-sufficient and created a framework for long-term forest revitalization and management. BSKP supported local residents by providing rubber tree saplings and agricultural technologies.

The project, which involved the collective efforts of the local community, academia, and Bridgestone, completed a cumulative total of 67 hectares of forest reclamation by 2020. BSKP has been able to collect latex by tapping the rubber trees planted near Siring cliff in 2012. BSKP also conducted tapping training for its neighbors in 2020 and donated rubber trees in 2021.

At the end of 2023, BSKP newly restarted reforestation activity. The effort involved several parties, such as Lambung Mangkurat University, a local forest management unit (KPH), the Forestry Department, JIFPRO, and the local community. A survey was conducted to estimate the current carbon stock of vegetation covering an area of approximately 100 hectares, which is the target area of the reforestation project and the site of various kinds of ongoing reforestation activities. Besides supplying rubber seeds for the targeted areas, BSKP is also pursuing capacity building by educating farmers on plantation-related techniques.

In Japan, Bridgestone is pursuing forest management activities in collaboration with local forestry cooperatives, local governments, employees, and people near its plants. In 2004, it established forest maintenance activity zones and began activities that are now being carried out at seven sites in Japan as ECOPIA Forest projects. Specifically, by carrying out thinning and other forest management activities, Bridgestone is enhancing the ability of forests to recharge and help prevent mountain disasters. These efforts help preserve the CO₂ absorption capacity of forests and their role as habitats for wild animals and plants. The company also makes use of forests to offer environmental education to local children.

In December 2025, the ECOPIA Forest Shimonoseki-Misaka, a project carried out by the Shimonoseki Plant in cooperation with Shimonoseki City and the Western Yamaguchi Forestry Cooperative, was recognized as a Nationally Certified Sustainably Managed Natural Site^*2. The certification recognized the site’s achievements in carrying out forest maintenance and environmental education with residents and customers, maintaining a rich ecosystem, including rare species, and establishing future action plans.

Bridgestone will continue to strengthen its collaboration with local communities, aiming to contribute to the conservation of rich natural environments and the development of local regions.

1. ECOPIA is Bridgestone’s brand of fuel-efficient tires, designed to deliver a high level of safety, fuel efficiency, and long-lasting performance.
2. To achieve the international target of “30 by 30” (conserving more than 30% of land and sea as healthy ecosystems by 2030) in Japan, the Ministry of the Environment established a certification system in 2023 to recognize “areas where biodiversity is conserved through private sector and other initiatives.” This system was institutionalized and came into effect in April 2025 under Japan’s Regional Biodiversity Enhancement Act.

Bridgestone has been operating in Hikone City, Shiga Prefecture for over 40 years, and has been working with various local groups since 2004 to protect the water environment of Lake Biwa. Bridgestone is currently engaged in a wide range of activities, including holding nature observation gatherings for local residents and supporting research into the breeding of an endangered species of fish, called golden venus chubs. To date, it has held 76 nature observation gatherings, drawing about 5,340 participants. Breeding research on the golden venus chub takes place in the Biwa-tope biotope on Bridgestone plant grounds. This biotope is also a place for environment-related communication with the community, hosting nature observation gatherings and rice planting and harvesting events attended by local kindergarten children. Additionally, Bridgestone provides the golden venus chubs it has bred to nearby elementary schools to help children learn about the environment.

The Bridgestone Nasu Plant began hosting a sweetfish release event in 2024 to protect the ecosystem of the nearby Naka River, used by the plant in its tire production, and to provide local children with an opportunity to come into contact with nature and local natural resources.

On the day of the event, participating five-year-olds from a nearby nursery school release sweetfish into the Naka River, after receiving an explanation about the sweetfish ecosystem from an expert from the Tochigi Prefectural Fisheries Experimental Station. Parents taking part in the event commented that, “It was a valuable experience, which seems to have sparked the kids’ interest in fish,” and “I found out for the first time that so much effort is going into such a wonderful activity. I hope this keeps going.”

The golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata) was imported to Japan in the 1980s for food, but after being discarded or left unattended, the species became established in the wild. Due to their high reproductive capacity, the snails cause significant damage to rice paddies. For this reason, they have been designated as one of the World’s 100 Worst Invasive Alien Species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) and as a priority alien species by the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.

At the Bridgestone Kitakyushu Plant, in cooperation with the Environmental Bureau of Kitakyushu City, employees and their families take part every year in activities to eradicate golden apple snails and to participate in environmental education at the adjacent Hibikinada Biotope, which draw about 80 participants annually.

Through these activities, participants experience firsthand the impact and damage caused by invasive alien species, as well as the difficulty of eradicating such species once they have been released into the wild, leading to greater awareness of their local environment. By fostering such awareness, Bridgestone is contributing to the “Harmony with Nature” pillar of its Environmental Mission Statement.

PT. Bridgestone Sumatra Rubber Estate (BSRE), which operates a rubber plantation in Indonesia, organized a biodiversity conservation event in 2021, which continued until 2026, to address the threat of landslides caused by heavy rains that could damage the surrounding ecosystem. Approximately 150 people participated in the event, including local students, local government, and BSRE employees. A program teaching the importance of biodiversity was also implemented to help raise awareness of biodiversity in conjunction with activities such as cycling, tree planting, releasing fish, and cleaning up in and around a local river. This activity continues to be carried out every year in different areas in the BSRE area to ensure that the water flow along the riverbanks is well maintained and to provide ongoing education to the younger generation about the importance of protecting the ecosystem.

In Indonesia and Thailand, local Bridgestone employees have planted thousands of mangrove trees to restore mangrove forests that protect people and the environment in coastal villages. To help this effort, Bridgestone has planted 26,040 trees in Bekasi Regency, West Java since 2016, and continues to conduct regular monitoring activities to maintain mangrove development. In August 2023, Bridgestone Indonesia planted 10,000 mangroves on one hectare of land in the same area as the first plantation.

Started in 2024, the Sanggabuana Conservation project has involved the planting of 100 trees on Sanggabuana Mountain to support water sources, provide food to local wildlife, and enhance the livelihoods of the local community. In 2024, the project also supported the community in the voluntary surrender of protected wildlife that had been held by households.

Bridgestone Indonesia’s Mangrove Project restores habitats for 19 species, including the endangered West Javan Ebony Langur and Greater Green Leafbird. The Sanggabuana Project in Java addresses the issue of deforestation by means of reforestation, thus mitigating droughts, floods, and river degradation. This forest supports 23 plant species, 16 amphibian species, and 31 reptile species, providing crucial refuge for endemic and endangered wildlife.

Employees of the Nong Khae branch of Thai Bridgestone Co., Ltd. (TBSC), nestled in Saraburi Province, took on an ambitious task to “greenify” their environment.

Through comprehensive stakeholder engagement with the community, local government, and Bridgestone’s customers, the team set out to achieve the collective aspiration to increase green space in and outside the TBSC Nong Khae Plant and create greater harmony with nature. The team collaborated with stakeholders to establish a program that engages school children and the community. The program promotes activities for learning and caring about the environment, planting and the importance of biodiversity, and waste reduction where possible, as well as for planting more trees native to Southeast Asia. Since its inception in 2013, the program has planted 5,400 trees covering 21,600m², engaging 2,680 people in the community and 200 employees. These trees are estimated to sequester about 349 tons of CO₂ over their lifespan (in total).

Building on our close relationship with the community, Bridgestone Natural Rubber (Thailand) identified a critical environmental concern: over 2,000 meters of roadside littering that caused unsanitary conditions and became a breeding ground for diseases. In 2025, BSNR joined forces with community leaders, local authorities, schools, and residents to launch a comprehensive waste management campaign.

The event featured educational workshops on proper waste disposal and the impacts of littering. Together, 110 participants joined a collective roadside cleanup effort. To ensure long-term sustainability, BSNR supported the installation of four educational signboards across the community as a reminder to preserve a clean environment for future generations.

The Chonburi Plant of Bridgestone Tire Manufacturing (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (BTMT) has been engaged in an agricultural project on an unused area of the grounds since July 2020.

In the past, Bridgestone has encouraged employees to participate in planting, promoting production, and distributing products from this project to employees. Currently, products distributed to employees include bananas and papayas. Soon, plans call for the distribution of coconuts and pomelos as well.

The plant is pursuing other activities to promote sustainability, including distributing banana shoots for propagation and making compost fertilizer from dried leaves gathered at BTMT’s areas for household use.

Since 2011, the Chonburi Plant in Thailand has collaborated with local primary schools to promote biodiversity awareness among youth, including the children of employees and students in the community.

The program combines theoretical and practical learning, such as educational games and nature studies at the BTMT Eco Forest, where participants explore ecosystems and observe plants and animals. It aims to enhance environmental knowledge, life skills, and a sense of responsibility toward nature.

The program concludes with a tree-planting activity, fostering environmental awareness and contributing to carbon reduction efforts.

Bridgestone Thailand’s Water Boy Team alleviated water scarcity in the 790-acre Phanom Dong Rak highlands with a solar-powered water pump, expanding the supply area from 264,851m² in 2022 to 320,000m² in 2023. A fenced pond also provides a refuge for wildlife, increasing species diversity from 15 species in 2019 to 22 in 2024, including six rare large cats and birds.

The Bridgestone India Private Ltd. plants in Indore and Pune have planted more than 3,500 tree saplings. The Butterfly Gardens at the plants also host various species of butterflies, snakes, and insects. More than 60 events (online and face-to-face) have been held to raise awareness of environmental conservation.

Awareness sessions include various topics like waste management, water conservation, the importance of bees, human-leopard conflict, the importance of eco-friendly lifestyles, and ecology and the food web. The Butterfly Gardens are open to the public and to school children for visits, allowing a hands-on experience of the biodiversity nurtured at BSID plants.

In 2025, three face-to-face events were held—a visit by school children to the Butterfly Gardens, stakeholder participation in tree planting, and an onsite awareness session for the local community to learn about butterfly lifecycles.

Project Green Goal was launched in 2020 at Bridgestone India’s Indore and Pune plants with an aim to enhance native ecosystems. As of 2023, butterfly species diversity around the plants had increased from 99 to 170 species, and bird species diversity increased from 69 to 105 species. The project drives research, habitat design, seasonal planting, and biodiversity engagement through over 300 sessions, school nature clubs, and outdoor observation activities.

The Aiken Plant, a tire manufacturing site in South Carolina (United States), has been collaborating for over 10 years with the University of South Carolina to deliver educational programs on biodiversity conservation to local schools. Plant employees also actively engage in ecosystem restoration activities, including those for longleaf pine trees, a native plant important to a variety of organisms in the region. Currently, 74% of the total area of the facility is managed as longleaf pine habitat and in 2024, the facility planted over 20,000 additional longleaf pine seedlings over 49 acres.

Additionally, the Firestone Polymers Lake Charles facility participates in Partners in Education. Firestone's partner is Moss Bluff Middle School, and Firestone's environmental team provides experiments and information regarding the importance of clean air and water.

Bridgestone Americas (BSAM) celebrated 2018 World Environment Day by donating 2,332 hectares of the Bridgestone Nature Reserve at Chestnut Mountain to The Nature Conservancy in Tennessee (TNC). The land is adjacent to more than 6,000 hectares of the Bridgestone/Firestone Centennial Wilderness Area that BSAM gifted to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency in 1998 and 2000.

The donation helps protect habitats for many endangered plant and animal species. TNC has conducted a forest carbon offset project to fund the reserve’s management and offset carbon emissions from the BSAM headquarters building in downtown Nashville, Tennessee for 25 years.

BSAM remains dedicated and involved with the TNC and its neighbors and, in 2019, participated in the Bridgestone Nature Reserve at Chestnut Mountain Inaugural Community Day celebration. In addition, in 2021, BSAM tapped into the Bridgestone Trust Fund to donate 50,000 USD to the South Carolina Forest Carbon Program and renewed this commitment in 2022 with a focus on Longleaf Pine Research. As a result of this renewed commitment, this project is reaching multiple audiences, including scientists sharing research, agency partners who manage forests, and private landowners learning how to implement best practices on their land. Since then, more than $127,000 has been invested in Climate-focused forestry initiatives. This support has funded carbon sequestration research and the development of a Climate Smart Management Guide with Clemson University (2023), enabled large-scale reforestation of flooded farmland in the Mississippi Delta with over 86,000 trees planted (2025), and provided additional project support through targeted 2025 funding.
