Toyo Tires has secured a place on CDP's prestigious A-List for 2025, marking the first time the Japanese tyre manufacturer has achieved this top-tier environmental recognition for its climate change mitigation efforts.
The inclusion on CDP's annual A-List positions Toyo Tires amongst global sustainability leaders, reflecting what the organisation describes as the company's comprehensive approach to decarbonisation and environmental transparency.
The A-List rating acknowledges Toyo Tires' validated science-based targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and its strategic shift towards renewable energy across production facilities. CDP's assessment, which serves as a key benchmark for corporate sustainability performance across climate, water and forests, also highlighted the manufacturer's commitment to data transparency through independent third-party verification.
According to the Toyo Tires Group, reducing environmental impact represents a top operational priority, with the company viewing its business activities as intrinsically connected to society and future sustainability.
"Moving forward, the company is dedicated to advancing decarbonisation across all its manufacturing processes and broader supply chain, aiming to support a sustainable global society," the manufacturer stated.
CDP's A-List represents the highest tier of companies worldwide based on governance, target setting, and concrete climate action, including emissions reduction and risk management. Companies are evaluated annually using an eight-point scale ranging from D- to A, with results widely utilised by investors and stakeholders as an environmental performance benchmark.
Securing A-List status for the first time indicates that Toyo Tires' recent climate initiatives have reached a level comparable with global sustainability leaders within CDP's framework, a significant achievement given the rigorous evaluation criteria.
CDP is a global non-profit organisation that operates an environmental disclosure system through which companies and local governments report data on climate change, water security and forests.
The recognition strengthens Toyo Tires' positioning as a sustainability-focused supplier, an increasingly important consideration for OEM customers and fleet operators facing their own decarbonisation pressures and regulatory requirements.
As the automotive and transport sectors continue to face mounting pressure to reduce environmental impact throughout their supply chains, tyre manufacturers are under growing scrutiny regarding their production methods and carbon footprint.
Toyo Tires has confirmed it will continue advancing decarbonisation initiatives across its manufacturing operations and supply chain, maintaining reduced environmental impact as a core business priority going forward.
The company's achievement comes at a time when environmental credentials are becoming a key differentiator in the tyre industry, with both B2B customers and end consumers placing greater emphasis on sustainability performance when making purchasing decisions.
