Sailun Group the Only Tyre Company to Receive An Award
Sailun Group has won the “Innovative Model” Award at the 2nd Sustainable Development (ESG) Industrial Ecosystem Innovation Competition for Chinese and Foreign Enterprises in Shanghai Pudong New Area, making it the only tyre company to receive the honour.
The competition was hosted jointly by the Shanghai Pudong Foreign-Invested Enterprises Association and the Shanghai Pudong Domestic-Funded Enterprises Association, and was open to companies registered and operating in the Pudong New Area, along with their upstream and downstream partners.
Sailun Group entered the competition at the invitation of Vale Metals (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of global mining giant Vale, which is also a long-term strategic partner of the Chinese tyre manufacturer.
The award recognised the collaborative ESG practices that Sailun Group and Vale Metals have developed, centred on tyre supply for mining operations. Sailun said its low-carbon tyre solutions have helped Vale Metals achieve more efficient and environmentally responsible operations. Sailun described its relationship with the mining company as a “typical example of ESG collaborative empowerment in the industrial chain.”
Vale is one of the world’s largest iron ore producers and, together with Sailun, it has built an efficient, safe, and low-carbon cooperative development model through their shared pursuit of sustainable supply chains.
