Jaguar Land Rover Partners with Pirelli to Roll Out FSC-Certified Natural Rubber Tyres

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Pirelli to introduce FSC-certified natural rubber tyres across its luxury vehicle range. This initiative marks a significant milestone in the automotive industry, making JLR the first car manufacturer to adopt FSC-certified tyres at scale.

The rollout of these sustainable tyres will commence with the new Range Rover Electric and gradually extend to JLR's entire portfolio. This ambitious commitment will result in the supply of over 250,000 FSC-certified tyres per year.

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification ensures that the natural rubber used in tyre production is traceable throughout every processing stage, from the plantations to the tyre manufacturer. This rigorous chain of custody certification verifies that the rubber is sustainably farmed to the highest standards.

This collaboration between JLR and Pirelli represents a significant step towards more sustainable tyre production and adoption. It supports forest preservation and promotes sustainable development, aligning with JLR's Reimagine strategy, which emphasizes responsible sourcing and sustainability across their operations.

Andrea Debbane, Sustainability Director at JLR, highlighted the importance of this partnership, stating, "This partnership with Pirelli demonstrates our commitment to redefining luxury in a way that benefits both people and the planet."

Matteo Battaini, Pirelli Head of Sustainability & New Mobility, expressed satisfaction with the collaboration, noting, "We are proud that JLR has chosen to be the first car maker to use Pirelli tyres with FSC certification across a wide range of vehicles."

In addition to introducing FSC-certified tyres, JLR and Pirelli are working together to increase the percentage of sustainable and recycled content in all tyres supplied to JLR, furthering their shared sustainability ambitions.

This initiative is a testament to JLR's dedication to environmental stewardship and innovative solutions in the automotive industry, setting a new standard for luxury vehicles worldwide.
