Third-party assurance of environmental and social data

To ensure accuracy and transparency of environmental and social data, the Bridgestone Group received third-party assurance from a third-party institution in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 and ISO 14064-3.

Independent Assurance Statement (237KB)

The 2025 data verification was conducted at four bases/facilities across three countries, focusing primarily on manufacturing locations. At each site, key issues were identified and countermeasures were implemented.

Locations where assessments were implemented for third-party verification of FY2025 data

Name of country Name of facility Main product(s) Function
Japan Head office in Tokyo, Bridgestone Corporation - Summary and report concerning environmental and social data at various facilities
Japan Nasu plant Tires Measurement of and report concerning environmental and safety data from facility
