About the
Tire Industry Project

The tire industry’s primary global forum
on sustainability topics.

Formed in 2005, the Tire Industry Project (TIP) is a voluntary CEO-driven initiative with a mission to anticipate, understand, and address global environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues relevant to the tire industry and its value chain.

TIP acts by commissioning independent research of the highest standards, collaborating on sectoral solutions, and engaging with external stakeholders.

TIP currently brings together 10 leading tire companies that represent more than 60% of the world’s tire manufacturing capacity.

TIP operates under the umbrella of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD). WBCSD is a global community of over 220 of the world’s leading businesses, representing a combined revenue of more than USD $8.5 trillion and 19 million employees. WBCSD transforms the systems we work in to limit the impact of the climate crisis, restore nature and tackle inequality.

Tire Industry Project
Governance

TIP is a CEO-driven initiative. With alternating in-person and virtual meetings, the CEOs of TIP member companies meet every year to review TIP progress and affirm future plans.

Since its creation in 2005, TIP was Co-Chaired by Bridgestone, Goodyear, and Michelin. In 2022, a fourth rotating Co-Chair position was established to diversify and strengthen the governance of a more ambitious TIP Mission and work program. Continental is the current Fourth Co-Chair.
