ESG
Michelin works closely with its suppliers to monitor ESG risks, based on a continuous improvement approach through EcoVadis and RubberWay™.
EcoVadis
Results from the EcoVadis suppliers’ assessments are shared and if improvements are required, corrective action plans are deployed.
In 2020, suppliers representing more than 85% of Groups’ expenditures in natural rubber were evaluated by EcoVadis. 70% of supply is at ‘confirmed’ ESG performance and 15%, at an advanced level.
Confirmed performance as per the EcoVadis assessment methodology is ≥45/100. Per pillar score: at confirmed level with a minimum of 50/100.
By the end of 2020, suppliers representing 55% of Michelin’s natural rubber supply are deploying RubberWay™, including nearly 40,000 smallholder farmers. The Group expects to map 80% of its sourced natural rubber volumes by 2022.
RubberWay™
Since 2017, Michelin has assessed and mapped its natural rubber supply chain with RubberWay™ a digital solution.
