ALWAYS WORKING TO HELP ACHIEVE A BETTER AND MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR ALL.
DUNLOP® SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
We fully underwrite the 17 Sustainable Development Goals put forward by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015. Each of these 17 interlinked, global goals highlights the pressing issues: to “achieve a better and more sustainable future for all”. Together, they intend to stimulate substantial improvements in future conditions by 2030 in three domains:
P
lanet (good for the environment),
P
eople (social well-being) and
P
rosperity ( long-term wealth and welfare for all).
Although Dunlop® endorses all of the goals equally, it is clear that each of them affects our organisation differently. As a result, our level of influence and potential impact will vary across these 17 goals.

DUNLOP® REBOOT PROGRAM
We launched the ReBoot© program to help our B2B customers lower their total costs, improve sustainability, and increase worker safety and productivity. In 2021, we opened the doors to the ‘Dunlop® STF Innovation Centre’ and ‘Dunlop SMART Lab’ to eliminate preventable workplace accidents through innovation.
