Linglong Tire ESG Selected for UN Global Compact Organization Important Practice Case Collection

Recently, the 2nd Global Enterprise High-Quality Belt and Road Summit was held in Singapore. At the meeting, the UN Global Compact (UNGC) officially released "Guidelines for Enterprise Actions on Sustainable Supply Chain Management in the Transportation Industry" and "Highlights of Sustainable Supply Chain Management Practices in the Transportation Industry". Linglong Tire was successfully selected for its systematic practice in the field of low-carbon supply chain, released globally in bilingual Chinese-English alongside 10 other excellent cases, contributing a referenceable "Linglong Solution" to the construction of green supply chains in the global tire industry.

Building a Three-Level ESG Governance Architecture, Anchoring the ROUTE Sustainable Development Strategy

As a participant of the UN Global Compact, WBCSD member enterprise, the first tire enterprise in mainland China to join the Global Sustainable Natural Rubber Platform (GPSNR), and a member of the Carbon Neutrality Action Alliance, Linglong views sustainable supply chains as a crucial support for high-quality development.

In 2025, the company systematically constructed the "ROUTE" sustainable development strategy model for the first time, establishing five pillars: low-carbon transformation, innovation-driven, shared responsibility, people-centric, and compliance-based foundation, building a "Decision-Making Layer — Management Layer — Execution Layer" three-level ESG governance architecture, coordinated by the Board Sustainability Committee and specially advanced by the Supply Chain Committee, deeply embedding social responsibility, environmental compliance, and business ethics into the entire R&D, procurement, manufacturing, and logistics processes. Upholding procurement concepts of fairness, transparency, and win-win cooperation, the company implements a nested compliance management of "Level 1 Control + Entrusted Management Extension" for seven categories of direct suppliers including raw materials, equipment, logistics, and their extended indirect suppliers, constructing a closed-loop of "Access — Monitoring — Improvement — Exit — Co-construction" for the full lifecycle of suppliers.

Combination Path to Solve Industry Pain Points, Exploring Actionable Paradigms for Manufacturing Enterprise Transformation

Tire manufacturing is a typical material-dependent industry. Currently, the entire industry faces common difficulties such as dispersed upstream raw material sources, low supply chain transparency, and inconsistent carbon data statistics calibers. At the same time, external pressure from increasingly strict international green trade regulations such as EUDR and CBAM is compounded, making single-point governance difficult to cope with complex compliance requirements.

Linglong Tire's practice shows that through a combined path of "Digital Traceability + Supply Chain Collaborative Carbon Reduction + Material Innovation + Circular Closed-Loop", abstract compliance requirements can be transformed into quantifiable, verifiable, and replicable specific management actions. While meeting global market entry thresholds, it continuously strengthens the compliance resilience and green competitiveness of the supply chain, exploring a concrete low-carbon supply chain transformation path for vast manufacturing enterprises.

Industry Observation: Supply Chain Greening Becomes a Must-Answer for Going Global, Chinese Tire ESG Value Gains Global Recognition

From an industry perspective, with the acceleration of global low-carbon governance, green supply chains are no longer a "bonus item" for enterprises, but an "entry pass" for Chinese tire enterprises to go overseas and participate in global competition. For a long time, difficulties in upstream raw material traceability and non-unified carbon accounting systems have always been common bottlenecks restricting the low-carbon transformation of the tire industry. Linglong Tire's selection as a UN Global Compact practice case this time marks that the supply chain green management capabilities of Chinese tire enterprises have gained international authoritative recognition.

On the other hand, this systematic plan covering strategic top-level design, full-lifecycle supplier management, and digital collaborative carbon reduction provides a replicable reference sample for the domestic tire industry to cope with international green trade barriers and break through the transformation dilemma of high material-dependent industries.

We also look forward to Linglong Tire continuing to practice the concept of sustainable development in the future, deepening the construction of a full-chain ESG management system, iterating and improving green production technologies and supply chain management models, driving collaborative carbon reduction upstream and downstream of the industry chain, deeply participating in global transportation industry sustainable governance, and continuously contributing corporate strength to the high-quality joint construction of "Belt and Road" low-carbon green supply chains and promoting high-quality sustainable development of the transportation industry.
