INVOLVING SUPPLIERS IN THE GROUP’S CSR APPROACH

“A Better Way Forward”

Michelin’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy, as outlined in the Michelin Performance and Responsibility Charter, is a reflection of our core values

It applies to our relations with our suppliers and their subcontractors, since we expect them to apply sustainable development principles and international standards to all their activities and sites, all around the world.

The Michelin Purchasing Principles reflect these commitments and the Group’s values. They guide our actions to ensure that our customers and other market stakeholders continue to trust our brand.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA

The Purchasing department’s Total Cost of Ownership approach includes environmental, social, and ethical requirements in our specifications for our internal customers. There are steps we can take throughout a tire’s lifecycle to reduce its impact on natural resources, energy, and matter. Michelin takes simultaneous action in four areas during the tire’s life cycle to provide a combination of solutions that use resources more efficiently. The criteria are defined as part of the 4R – Reduce – Reuse – Recycle – Renew – Circular economy strategy used by Purchasing staff, in compliance with regulatory standards.

RESPONSIBLE & SUSTAINABLE PURCHASING POLICY

This approach is presented in the Responsible & Sustainable Procurement Policy.
Since purchasing represents close to 60% of Michelin’s sales, for the past several years the company has been taking a proactive approach towards responsible procurement with our suppliers.
This means that we select suppliers, goods and services that are produced in compliance with the highest social, ethical, and environmental standards, according to the Michelin Purchasing Principles.

CONFLICT MINERALS IN REGIONS AT RISK

This subject is detailed in the following document.
As part of Michelin’s commitment to corporate social responsibility in its operations and supply chain, we are committed to purchasing materials and components that, directly or indirectly, do not finance or support armed groups in conflict zones. This applies to several minerals or their derivatives, such as tantalum, tin, tungsten, gold and cobalt.
