First ever tyres with FSC®-certified forest-based materials
After producing the first ever tyres¹ with FSC®-certified natural rubber in 2021, we are implementing the FSC® strategy on an industrial scale so that by 2026, all natural rubber² used in Pirelli’s European factories will be FSC®-certified.
Why it’s important
At Pirelli, we are committed to no deforestation and the responsible procurement of natural rubber.
FSC® is today one of the most rigorous and trusted forest certification systems, as well as one of the most recognised worldwide³.
