Triangle Tire's Green Transformation
With the deepening of the national "dual-carbon" strategy, green and low-carbon development has become an essential question for the tire industry's transformation. As a key player in the industry, Triangle Tire, driven by technological innovation, integrates ESG principles into its entire production and operation chain. Through digital management and technological innovation, it achieves a win-win situation for both economic and environmental benefits, providing practical guidance for the industry's green transformation.
Triangle Tire has incorporated ESG management into its core strategy, building a comprehensive governance system with the board of directors at the core of decision-making and a sustainable development strategy committee coordinating efforts. This promotes the integration of ESG principles into all operational processes.
In 2024, the company released its first ESG report, fully disclosing its green development practices, with measures compliant with relevant international standards. In the same year, its environmental protection investment reached 48.5659 million yuan, promoting energy conservation and carbon reduction through the establishment of an energy management system and information-based monitoring, with many emission indicators exceeding national standards.
As a pioneer in green manufacturing, Triangle Tyre was selected for the national "Green Factory" list as early as 2022. In 2025, it was further recognized for its outstanding energy efficiency, earning a place in the "2025 Key Industry Energy Efficiency 'Leader' Enterprise List" jointly released by three ministries. Its all-steel radial tires achieved a comprehensive energy consumption of 177.62 kgce/t, meeting the first-level energy efficiency standard of GB29449-2024 "Energy Consumption Limits for Tires and Carbon Black Unit Products".
The company consistently adheres to new processes, technologies, and materials as support, promoting green development from multiple dimensions including materials, products, and supply chain, building a comprehensive green development system.
On the materials side, Triangle Tyre focuses on the research and application of renewable and recyclable materials, continuously increasing the application ratio of materials such as bio-based PA56, reclaimed rubber, pyrolytic carbon black, and renewable polyester, reducing environmental impact from the source through material innovation.
Meanwhile, the company has established a waste tire recycling system to promote resource recycling. Its comprehensive resource utilization rate has reached an advanced level in the industry. Combined with its independently developed rubber compounding technology, it maximizes material utilization efficiency while ensuring product performance, reducing dependence on non-renewable resources and waste emissions, thus practicing the concept of a circular economy.
On the product side, Triangle Tire is deeply committed to the research and development of high-performance green tires. The proportion of green and safe tires with low rolling resistance, anti-skid properties, and low noise has been increasing year by year. It has successfully developed products with both rolling resistance coefficient and wet grip index rated A.
These indicators not only meet the high standards of EU labeling regulations but have also passed the US Environmental Protection Agency's SMARTWAY certification, helping vehicles reduce fuel consumption by 3-5% and assisting end users in achieving carbon reduction goals.
In 2025, the company's high-performance passenger car tire factory was rated as an advanced intelligent factory in Shandong Province, with production efficiency increasing by more than 40% and energy consumption decreasing by more than 25% compared to traditional factories, achieving a dual green upgrade in production and products.
On the supply chain side, Triangle Tyre took the lead in the industry by proposing and implementing a "zero deforestation" commitment. It established a comprehensive management mechanism covering supplier access, cooperation, evaluation, and exit, incorporating ESG standards such as environmental protection, human rights, and labor rights into its supplier evaluation system, and promoting collaborative green transformation across the upstream and downstream supply chains.
By the end of 2024, 95.25% of its target suppliers had signed the "Supplier Code of Conduct," achieving 100% traceability in the procurement of key raw materials such as natural rubber. In 2024, the company's natural rubber consumption reached 188,800 tons, with all procurement meeting sustainable procurement standards.
This ensured the stability of the supply chain and promoted the green development of the upstream raw material industry. Based on its outstanding practices, it won two awards: "2025 China Automotive Industry Sustainable Development Practice Case" for Green Development and Win-Win Cooperation.
Today, Triangle Tyre has been selected as a "2025 Shandong Socially Responsible Enterprise" and "2025 China Enterprise ESG 100 Index List," and its green transformation practices have gained widespread recognition from the industry and society.
In the future, the company will continue to deepen its ESG practices, taking technological innovation and management improvement as the starting point, continuously promoting the green upgrading of materials, processes and products, driving the sustainable development of the supply chain, and steadily moving forward on the path of fulfilling its dual-carbon mission, contributing to the green transformation of the tire industry and the green upgrading of Chinese manufacturing.
