Thai Bridgestone Group Companies Accelerate Transformation to Sustainable Solutions Companies and Drive a Carbon Neutral Mobility Society, Reflecting the Commitments through the "Carbon Footprint for Organization" Certification from the TGO

Mr. Akihito Ishii, Managing Director of Thai Bridgestone Co., Ltd. and Bridgestone Sales (Thailand) Co., Ltd., stated, "Thai Bridgestone Group Companies have committed to conducting business with greenhouse gas reduction measures (Decarbonization). Since 2025, we have begun transitioning our energy sources and fuels by increasing the proportion of electricity derived from renewable sources. We have also invested in upgrading and installing energy-saving equipment such as expanding the installation of solar power systems for tire manufacturing processes, adopting smart LED lighting systems, and implementing the Energy Efficiency Project to enhance energy usage precision and effectiveness. In addition, we have built networks with business partners to develop solutions aimed at reducing and offsetting greenhouse gas emissions. These efforts include participating in carbon credit innovation workshops, piloting new-generation renewable energy for equipment and electric vehicle (EV) fleet integration and exploring the use of digital technologies such as IoT and AI to manage greenhouse gas emissions in an efficient and transparent manner in the future."

"We have also recognized the importance of encouraging and engaging employees at all levels of the organization to actively participate in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. For example, we host Bridgestone's Sustainability Day annually on April 22, which emphasizes and raises awareness of the application of renewable energy to drive sustainability within the organization. This year, we placed particular focus on the role of sustainable energy in shaping the future of the planet, humanity, the environment, business, and the operations of Bridgestone Group Global Companies. Furthermore, we organized a site visit at a leading company to enhance understanding and inspire our employees in the adoption of the best practices in energy management. We believe our employees play a vital role not only in supporting the long-term sustainability of the companies but also in helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions- one of the key drivers of climate change affecting society and the nation."

Another testament to Thai Bridgestone Group Companies' ongoing commitments to carbon footprint management as well as social and environmental responsibility is the "Carbon Footprint for Organization (CFO) Certification for the year 2024", certified by the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO). These certification covers the operations of all companies under the Thai Bridgestone Group and extends across the entire value chain from manufacturing and distribution to service centers and tire casing retreading processes. This recognition reflects Thai Bridgestone Group Companies' awareness and actions in fuel and electricity usage, as well as controlling the leakage of substances that cause greenhouse gas emissions used throughout 2023 business operations, in accordance with TGO requirements. We remain committed to conducting business in line with our policy of sustainable growth, as we continue to support Thailand's mobility society and drive the country's automotive industry toward a sustainable future in alignment with our long-term environmental vision of achieving carbon neutrality.

^*2 The target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in scope 3 is by the year 2030, reducing emissions by more than five times the amount of greenhouse gas emissions from scope 1 and 2 recorded in the year 2020.
