Sumitomo Rubber Industries has released its Integrated Report 2025, detailing the group’s strategic direction under its R.I.S.E. 2035 plan. The report covers innovation-led competitiveness, workplace improvement projects, governance insights from external directors, and measures to strengthen corporate foundations. It also aligns with updated sustainability content on the company’s corporate website.
The Integrated Report 2025 serves as a roadmap for Sumitomo Rubber’s medium- to long-term value creation. The company’s R.I.S.E. 2035 strategy — announced in March, focuses on innovation, operational excellence, sustainability, and stakeholder engagement.
The report’s “Strengthening Competitiveness through Innovation” section showcases technologies developed over decades and product advances in tyres and related sectors. It also highlights “The Future Factory Project for Better Workplaces,” in which employees explore solutions to challenges faced in manufacturing environments.
“With this report, we aim to foster more constructive engagement with our stakeholders and work to enhance our corporate value,” Sumitomo Rubber stated in its release.
The “Front Line of Governance” section features perspectives from outside directors on the company’s governance framework. These discussions address board diversity, risk oversight, and the evolving role of governance in global operations.
Executive officers for the tyre, sports, and industrial products divisions review fiscal 2024 performance, set out 2025 initiatives, and outline actions to achieve long-term objectives.
The updated sustainability pages on the corporate website now integrate directly with the Integrated Report, providing a fuller picture of Sumitomo Rubber’s environmental and social initiatives. This includes:
The company’s sustainability approach complements previous initiatives such as advancing tyre recycling technologies and developing smart tyre solutions, positioning Sumitomo Rubber among industry leaders in responsible growth.
