Recently, two products under Linglong Tire — the Tire with 79% Sustainable Materials and the SPORT MASTER High-performance Tire — have obtained the ISO 14067 Product Carbon Footprint Verification Statements issued by SGS, a globally authoritative certification body. This certification scientifically quantifies Linglong’s tangible achievements in green manufacturing and low-carbon transition.
Founded in 1878, SGS (Société Générale de Surveillance) is a world-renowned leader in inspection, testing and certification services. Based on the ISO 14067 standard, the verification conducted a carbon footprint accounting for the two tire products throughout the stages from raw material acquisition to manufacturing (i.e., the "cradle-to-gate" scope). Through precise data analysis, Linglong has gained clearer insights into the key carbon emission nodes of its products, laying a solid foundation for subsequent emission reduction improvements and R&D of low-carbon materials.
In terms of green practices, Linglong Tire has made comprehensive arrangements spanning materials, production and energy systems, establishing a distinctive low-carbon development pathway.
· Materials: By increasing the proportion of green raw materials, adopting eco-friendly carbon black and bio-based rubber and other renewable materials, the company reduces carbon footprint from the source.
· Manufacturing: Leveraging new processes and intelligent equipment to enhance energy efficiency, Linglong cuts down indirect emissions during production.
· Energy: The company actively builds photovoltaic power stations and procures green electricity, continuously optimizing the energy structure of its factories.
Currently, product carbon footprint has gradually evolved from a compliance cost into a core market competitiveness driver. Voluntarily disclosing carbon data and advancing green transition not only helps shape the enterprise’s environmental image, but also better meets downstream customers’ low-carbon requirements for supply chains, providing strong support for accessing international markets. Linglong Tire’s case demonstrates that low-carbon development is a systematic project covering materials, processes and energy, which can achieve a win-win outcome of environmental protection, cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
This carbon footprint verification statement serves as a "green ID card" for the products. It also provides a replicable pathway for the low-carbon transition of the tire industry: only by taking scientific accounting as the foundation, technological innovation as the driving force and international vision as the guide can enterprises seize the initiative in the global green wave.
