Giti Earns Double Honours with EcoVadis Platinum Status and B-Rating for its 2024 Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) – Propelling Entry into the Premiership of Tire Makers
With only one Earth to live on, Giti Tire has embedded in its DNA an unwavering commitment to reducing environmental impact, and these efforts have not gone unnoticed. Giti China was ranked among the top 1% of the tire industry, receiving a Platinum award (with a score of 85) in the 2025 EcoVadis evaluation and a B-rating for both Climate and Sustainability from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), setting the standard for the rest of Giti’s manufacturing facilities to follow. Similar to industry leaders Michelin and Bridgestone, Giti has established itself as a formidable green force in a highly competitive market.
The Reason for the Passion
“These recognitions are a welcome acknowledgment and validation that our efforts are moving in the right direction,” commented Mr. Chris Bloor, Executive Director of Sales and Marketing at Giti Tire, while discussing the awards. “However, we will not rest on these laurels. Fuelled by our commitment to future generations, we will continue to enhance processes and products, ensuring a greener future for the tire industry and global mobility.”
Over the years, Giti has solidified its reputation through motorsport performance and through collaborating with major automotive manufacturers, leading to its recognition for top-tier products and forward sustainability initiatives.
The Journey Toward Excellence
Giti’s sustainability journey began with its first CDP submission in 2023. Committed to continuous improvement, Giti has since internalised sustainability principles through comprehensive training programs and sustainability structures led by Chief Sustainability Officer, Dr. Pang Chong Hau. By fostering transparency and accountability, Giti actively encourages stakeholders to take positive action for environmental protection and societal progress.
“Giti adopts a 3P approach, ensuring not only economic growth but also environmental health and social progress,” commented Dr. Pang.
“We will remain steadfast in continual improvement, actively engaging shareholders and stakeholders, fostering collaborative partnerships with suppliers and customers, and placing sustainability at the core of our decision-making process. We promote awareness and meaningful environmental action.”

Governance in Action: Leading EUDR-Compliance
As a reflection of Giti’s commitment to sustainability, the company champions compliance with the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). This initiative highlights Giti’s focus on responsible sourcing, ethical procurement, and regulatory compliance—core elements of a strong environmental governance strategy.
Giti's Low-/No-Light Warehousing in its next generation factory uses technology to remove the need for high energy lighting consumption.
Despite delays in EUDR’s official implementation, Giti engages with suppliers to ensure materials are environmentally-friendly and contribute to reversing past damage. As an early adopter of EUDR-compliance, Giti is setting industry standards and reinforcing its role as a pioneer in sustainable governance.
“These achievements were neither overnight successes nor solo efforts,” shared Mr. François Petiot, Director at Giti’s International QA Centre.
“Three key factors contribute to our success:
- Strong sustainability commitment among plant managers, backed by methodical training.
- A company-wide culture actively turning sustainability goals into reality.
- Robust policies and due-diligence structures ensuring compliance and efficiency."
Ahead of EUDR’s full implementation, Giti has secured 100% EUDR-compliant rubber supplies, with all its required raw materials sourced from suppliers that meet strict environmental standards.
