Case Study: Bridgestone achieves a more sustainable supply chain with Taulia

Helping Bridgestone build a sustainable supply chain through an innovative approach to financing

Bridgestone, one of the world’s largest tire manufacturers, wanted to build a more sustainable supply chain while balancing ESG goals with financial pressures like longer payment terms and working capital needs. To do this, Bridgestone partnered with Taulia, using Taulia’s financial technology platform to create a supply chain finance program that could reward suppliers for strong sustainability performance.

Taulia helped Bridgestone launch the Sustainable Supply Chain Financing (SSCF) program with EcoVadis and JP Morgan, enabling tiered pricing and preferential terms for suppliers with higher ESG ratings. The program rolled out across Europe, India, South Africa, and North America, supported dynamic discounting, and helped improve transparency and supplier engagement; it also won “Best Supply Chain Finance Solution” at the 2021 Adam Smith Awards.
