Topic: Linking credit to sustainability
The Group promotes ongoing environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives through the introduction of sustainable finance, in which interest rate terms fluctuate based on sustainability performance. Bridgestone Americas was one of the first companies in the U.S. tire manufacturing industry to establish a commitment line through a sustainability linked loan and to utilize a scheme that reflects the Group’s ESG rating in the commitment line fees and borrowing costs. Furthermore, Bridgestone Europe NV/SA, in cooperation with financial institutions, has introduced a framework to provide financial incentives to suppliers that obtain ratings from EcoVadis, an international sustainability research and rating organization. The initiative was the first in the world of this nature and was awarded the prestigious Treasury Today’s Adam Smith Award for the category Best Supply Chain Finance Solution.
