Our Vision

A WORD FROM THE CHAIRMAN

“The Foundation has embodied our core values of solidarity and respect.”

At Michelin, our actions are guided by our primary purpose, which is to, ʼoffer everyone a better way forwardʼ. Since its inception, our Company has recognized its role and responsabilty as an engaged citizen, in particular with regards to the regions in which it operates. The Michelin Corporate Foundation is a natural extension of the impact we strive to make every day in everything we do. By selecting and supporting projects coherent with its purpose and all-sustainable approach, the Foundation effectively brings to life Michelin’s values to serve human progress.

Corporate citizenship is, first and foremost, a company made up of citizens. I would like to praise the Foundation’s team members and charity partners, who, for more than a decade have contributed, through proactive projects, to turn these values into a reality worldwide. Their action, and that of every employee of the Group, committed to a broader engagement, illustrates all the diversity and vitality of our efforts to further the common good.

Our strategy for engagement

From the outset, the Foundation has embodied one of Michelin’s core beliefs: that companies have a social responsibility to help provide collective solutions to today’s challenges. In order to live in harmony with all its environments, Michelin aims to contribute to the common good beyond its core business, by mobilising available resources, skills, and capabilities wherever it operates.

The Michelin Corporate Foundation is one of the Group’s main drivers of action in this regard. Our mission is to act where we are relevant and legitimate, in those areas where we can support meaningful, innovative projects that create value for people, places, and the natural world. In response to urgent and complex global issues, we have refined our approach: to be more targeted, more collaborative, and more ambitious..

In 2024, in line with its tenth anniversary, the Foundation refocused its efforts around seven areas of action to take concrete action for the common good.
