“Our company Purpose states that everyone deserves to travel

in our commitment to corporate social responsibility and
sustainability,” said Brad Hughes, Cooper’s President & Chief

environmental impact, improve employee health and safety, and
support communities. We are committed to these efforts and
reporting our progress to key stakeholders.”
Highlights from Cooper’s 2019 report include:
- Significant reduction in the amount of waste landfilled by our
manufacturing plants over the last several years. Cooper recycles
approximately 83% of our waste annually.
- Continued strides in energy optimization through upgrades to
energy efficient LED lighting, utilizing new energy sources and
infrastructure improvements. Cooper is using energy in a
continually more efficient manner.
- Sustained focus on employee health and safety, and recognition
for safety efforts including two Sustainability Awards for Health
and Safety from the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association. Cooper has
reduced its total recordable incidents by nearly 49 percent
globally over the last five years.
- Continued involvement with important industry organizations on
CSR topics, including the Tire Industry Project (TIP). Cooper is a
founding member of the TIP-initiated Global Platform for
Sustainable Natural Rubber (GPSNR).
- Active participation in our communities by focusing on tire
safety, education, youth career development and donating resources
– financial, in-kind and time – to charities that make an impact
where Cooper people live and work. For example, in 2019 Cooper and
the Cooper Tire Foundation donated approximately half a million
dollars to nearly 100 nonprofits, awarded scholarships to deserving
students, and matched employee donations to charities around the
globe.
- Commitment to diversity and inclusion, and recognition for this
effort by earning a score of 100 percent on the most recent
