Here's How We Helped Protect the Planet in 2021
Our 2021 sustainability report is out, and it points to another year of sustainable growth in North America and around the globe. Since sustainability is a core value of Nokian Tyres, we thought we’d share the highlights with you here.
LEEDing the Way
Pun intended, as always – but our eco-friendly Dayton Factory is a great example of how seriously we take sustainability.
The administration building at our North American production campus earned LEED v4 Gold certification last year. It is fully powered by energy generated by onsite solar panels and features employee amenities such as a sauna, gym and canteen.
In October, Nokian Tyres received the Tennessee Governor’s Environmental Stewardship Award, the highest sustainability honor in the state. A few weeks later, the Chattanooga Regional Manufacturers Association honored us with our Company of the Year award, in part because of our environmental efforts in Dayton.
In 2020, the production building became the first in the tire industry to earn LEED v4 Silver certification, a result of energy-efficient processes and elements such as the onsite solar panels that partially power production.
