SINGAPORE, Feb. 28,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With only one Earth to live
on, Giti Tire has embedded in its DNA an unwavering
commitment to reducing environmental impact, and these efforts have
not gone unnoticed. Giti China was
ranked among the top 1% of the tire industry, receiving a
Platinum award (scoring 85 points) in the 2025 EcoVadis
evaluation and B-rating for Climate and Sustainability from the
Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), setting the standard for all of
Giti's manufacturing facilities to follow. Similar to industry
leaders Michelin and Bridgestone, Giti has established itself as a
formidable green force in a highly competitive market.
The Reason for the Passion
"These recognitions are a welcome acknowledgment and validation
that our efforts are moving in the right direction," commented
Chris Bloor, Executive Director, Sales and Marketing
at Giti Tire, while discussing the awards. "However, we will
not rest on these laurels. Fuelled by our commitment to future
generations, we will continue to enhance processes and products,
ensuring a greener future for the tire industry and global
mobility."
Over the years, Giti has solidified its reputation through
motorsport performance and through collaborating with major
automotive manufacturers, leading to its recognition for top-tier
products and forward sustainability initiatives.
The Journey Toward Excellence
Giti's sustainability journey began with its first CDP
submission in 2023. Committed to continuous improvement, Giti has
since internalised sustainability principles through comprehensive
training programs and sustainability structures led by Chief
Sustainability Officer, Dr. Pang Chong
Hau. By fostering transparency and accountability, Giti
actively encourages stakeholders to take positive action for
environmental protection and societal progress.
"Giti adopts a 3P approach, ensuring not only economic growth
but also environmental health and social progress," commented
Pang.
"We will remain steadfast in continual improvement, actively
engaging shareholders and stakeholders, fostering collaborative
partnerships with suppliers and customers, placing sustainability
at the core of our decision-making. We promote awareness and
meaningful environmental action."
Governance in Action: Leading EUDR-Compliance
As a reflection of Giti's commitment to
sustainability, Giti champions compliance with the European
Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). This initiative highlights
Giti's focus on responsible sourcing, ethical procurement, and
regulatory compliance—core elements of a strong environmental
governance strategy.
Despite delays in EUDR's official implementation, Giti engages
with suppliers to ensure materials are environmentally-friendly and
contribute to reversing past damage. As an early adopter of
EUDR-compliance, Giti is setting industry standards and reinforcing
its role as a pioneer in sustainable governance.
"These achievements were neither overnight successes nor solo
efforts," shared François Petiot, Director, Giti International
QA Centre.
"Three key factors contribute to our success:
- Strong sustainability commitment among plant managers, backed
by methodical training.
- Company-wide culture actively turning sustainability goals into
reality.
- Robust policies and due-diligence structures ensuring
compliance and efficiency."
Ahead of EUDR's full implementation, Giti has secured 100%
EUDR-compliant rubber supplies, with all required raw materials
sourced from suppliers that meet strict environmental
standards.
