From Tire Review
 
The Foreign Policy Association (FPA) has awarded Pirelli Chairman and CEO Marco Tronchetti Provera the 2013 Social Responsibility Award for his ongoing endeavors in sustainability. Under Tronchetti’s leadership, Pirelli has become a frontrunner in corporate social responsibility, the tiremaker added.
 
In addition to a perfect score in the FTSE Global and European sustainability indexes, Pirelli has maintained a global sustainability leadership position for six years in a row on the Dow Jones Sustainability World and Europe indexes. Pirelli’s 2012 score in the Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index was 89, compared with a sector average of 69. Pirelli’s “Green Performance” strategy focuses heavily on environmentally friendly, safe, and innovative processes and products. Pirelli added that it serves the community by promoting road safety and human development through sports and technical training, particularly in disadvantaged areas.
 
“It is with great pride that I receive this award on behalf of Pirelli & C. S.p.A.,” Tronchetti said. “As a company with a rich and longstanding history, it now becomes our mission to create a sustainable future for generations to come. This vision could not be executed without the support of our staff around the world.”
