Michelin publishes FIR Just Transition report
Michelin published its FIR Just Transition report, highlighting agroforestry partnerships, natural rubber farmers, renewed living-wage certification and tire performance figures.
1. Report highlights
Michelin is exploring cross-sector partnerships for agroforestry projects backed by sustainable financing to strengthen natural rubber farmers’ resilience. About 90% of natural rubber supplies come from 1.5 million growers, whose farms average 2 hectares. The Fair Wage Network renewed Michelin’s global living-wage certification in 2025; the company said its tires wear 27% more slowly on average than competitors’ products and rolling resistance has fallen more than 50% since 1992.
