About time

Timing matters

Timing matters, and when it comes to sustainability, the stakes are global. The
global tire industry produces billions of tires every year, each one leaving a
mark on the environment. If we wait too long to cut emissions or switch to
smarter materials, we won’t just miss the moment – we’ll miss the road ahead.

This is why we’re leading with the world’s first zero CO₂ emission tire factory,
advancing the use of recycled and renewable materials, and designing tires
that last longer, save energy, and keep drivers safe – no matter the car, no
matter the conditions.

In life, love, and tires there is no such thing as too early. But there is a too late.

It’s about time tires are produced with zero co₂ emissions

We are transforming how tires are manufactured – including the world’s first
zero CO₂ emission tire factory, powered by renewable energy and
designed for maximum efficiency. It’s a bold step toward a cleaner industry,
and a clear signal that sustainability and performance can move forward
together.

Reducing emissions is at the heart of our innovation strategy – not just in how
our tires are made, but in how they perform. By engineering products with low
rolling resistance, we help vehicles consume less fuel or electricity, directly
cutting CO₂ emissions on the road.

It’s about time we switch to renewable and circular materials

Increasing safety and switching to smarter materials go hand in hand, as many innovations improving the sustainability of the tire also benefit its performance features.

At Nokian Tyres, circularity means designing products and processes that minimize waste and maximize reuse. Our target is to increase the share of recycled or renewable raw materials in tires to 50 per cent by 2030. At the moment, we are halfway to meeting our goal.

It’s about time to elevate safety to the next level

At Nokian Tyres, safety isn’t just a feature – it’s a foundation. We’ve built a workplace culture that prioritizes people, from a safe and inclusive environment for our employees to a supply chain that respects human rights.

With over two decades without a significant product recall and industry-leading safety metrics, our commitment to protecting drivers, passengers, and the planet is proven every day – on every road.
