"Sustainability is a key component of our business strategy and an integral part of our culture," says Chairman, CEO and President Richard J. Kramer. "In 2022, the work of our associates around the world further demonstrated our commitment to ethical and sustainable processes, materials and programs.

Goodyear's 2022 report is organized around the four pillars of the company's corporate responsibility framework: sustainable sourcing, responsible operations, advanced mobility and inspiring culture.
In sustainable sourcing, the company says it made "significant" progress toward a 2030 goal of introducing a 100% sustainable-material tire with the development of a tire made of 90% sustainable materials. Goodyear increased its use of renewable electricity to 34% across global manufacturing operations, up 3% from 2019 and part of its responsible operations goal. For advanced mobility, the company says it improved fuel efficiency with a 32.9% reduction in rolling resistance and a 9.4% reduction in tire weight across its global consumer tire portfolio, starting from a 2005 baseline. In inspiring culture, it grew its employee resource groups and the Akron-based Goodyear Women's Network celebrated 100 years.
