Prometeon outlines new 2030 targets

In its sustainability report for 2022, Prometeon Tyre Group has ratified the green policy previously set by the Group at a global level across the entire value chain from production to sales.

New “challenging targets” have also been set for reducing the environmental impact by 2030, which include cutting CO2 emissions by over 30 per cent. The full report can be downloaded here.

Nicolas Marchi, chief internal audit & sustainability officer of Prometeon Tyre Group said: “Sustainability is a key pillar in our business and is now part of the company’s identity. It concerns relationships with customers, suppliers and the financial world, and involves purchases as well as production.

“Prometeon is heavily involved in all sustainability issues and all our actions take into account the resulting environmental impact.”

For the second year, Morningstar Sustainalytics, the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) rating agency, has assessed the corporate social responsibility of the Prometeon Tyre Group, with the aim of understanding and improving the Group’s actions with regard to sustainability principles along the entire value chain.

The assessment yielded positive results: the ESG Risk Rating score was 12.1 out of 100 (the closer the score is to zero, the better a company has performed), confirming for the second year Prometeon’s low exposure to risk and the high level of management.

Besides improving its score, which was 14.9 last year, the company also improved its ranking within the reference sub-industry (TYRE world), moving up from fifth to third place out of 29 at the time of the ranking’s release; and in the auto components sector, Prometeon now ranks 15th out of 236 companies.

Heffernan Tyres is the official distributor in Ireland for the full range of Prometeon tyres, which include the Pirelli, Formula, and Anteo brands.
