Qingdao and BeijingMay 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, SGS, an internationally recognized testing, inspection, and certification organization, issued the 2025 Sustainability Report Independent Assurance Statement and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Verification Statement to Shandong Linglong Tire Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as: Linglong Tire, stock code: 601966). This collaboration marks the first time Linglong Tire has completed Scope 3 greenhouse gas verification, signifying that the company’s greenhouse gas emission reports and ESG information disclosure both meet international standard requirements.
SGS Issues GHG Verification and Sustainability Report Independent Assurance Statement to Linglong Tire
Wang Shaoyi, Director of Linglong Tire’s President’s Office (Compliance Department), and Zhong Wei, Regional Manager of SGS’s Management and Assurance Division, among other guests, attended the certificate ceremony. During the event, both parties jointly visited Linglong Tire’s sustainable tire products, which contain 85% eco-friendly materials, witnessing the company’s green and low-carbon R&D achievements firsthand.
Strengthening the ESG Foundation, Solidifying the Cornerstone of Trust for Global Development
As the global green and low-carbon transition accelerates and domestic “dual carbon” efforts deepen, ESG information disclosure has shifted from a voluntary corporate choice to a core capability for manufacturing industries to achieve high-quality development and expand global operations. As a leading Chinese tire company in overseas markets, Linglong Tire actively practices the concept of global green development through solid low-carbon practices and comprehensive ESG management.
To date, Linglong Tire has conducted ESG information disclosure for eight consecutive years, establishing a systematic management system covering front-end data collection, full-process internal control, and back-end compliant disclosure. Leveraging standardized management mechanisms and benchmarking against advanced industry levels, the company continuously addresses management gaps and steadily enhances its ESG performance. The recently released “2025 Sustainability Report” comprehensively and systematically presents the company’s sustainable development practices and achievements in environmental, social, and governance areas.
To further enhance the credibility and transparency of its ESG information disclosure and comply with relevant international standard disclosure requirements, Linglong Tire has commissioned SGS, an internationally recognized third-party certification body, to conduct independent assurance of its sustainability report for five consecutive years. SGS, through its rigorous and standardized assurance process, verified the authenticity and reliability of the report data in accordance with international standards such as ISAE 3000 and GRI.
First Completion of Scope 3 Carbon Verification, Setting an Industry Benchmark for Full-Chain Carbon Reduction
In this collaboration, Linglong Tire extended its carbon management boundary from its own operations (Scope 1 and Scope 2) to its corporate value chain (Scope 3) for the first time. The accounting scope covers the entire product lifecycle, from raw material procurement and production manufacturing to product transportation, use, and recycling.
Based on international standards such as ISO 14064 and the GHG Protocol, the SGS team conducted a comprehensive, objective, and independent verification of Linglong Tire’s 2025 annual carbon emission data across its seven production bases in Shandong, Jilin, Dezhou, Hubei, Guangxi, Thailand, and Europe. Through SGS’s rigorous verification, Linglong Tire’s greenhouse gas emission reports and statements comply with international standard requirements, fully demonstrating the company’s deep commitment to full lifecycle carbon footprint management.
By systematically mapping carbon emission data across all supply chain links, Linglong Tire can accurately identify key emission reduction nodes and develop more scientific and effective full-chain carbon reduction plans, helping the tire industry transition from single-point energy saving and emission reduction to collaborative low-carbon transformation across the entire industrial chain. Additionally, Linglong Tire is steadily advancing its “dual carbon” strategy. The company has successfully developed sustainable tire products containing 85% eco-friendly materials, while simultaneously deepening its presence in the new energy vehicle (NEV) original equipment tire sector. Through diversified green innovation achievements, it earnestly fulfills its low-carbon development mission, showcasing the green responsibility of Chinese manufacturing.
Five Years of Collaborative Partnership, Painting the Green Development Backdrop of Chinese Manufacturing
SGS and Linglong Tire have maintained a stable partnership for five consecutive years, with the scope of cooperation continuously expanding. The business layout covers core areas such as ESG assurance, greenhouse gas verification, energy management systems, anti-bribery management systems, and information security, precisely aligning with the tire industry’s green transformation pace and the compliance needs of global operations.
Building on a deep cooperative foundation and high industry consensus, SGS services comprehensively cover all seven of Linglong Tire’s domestic and international production bases, spanning the company’s global industrial layout. The two parties work in sync to fully meet the increasingly stringent sustainable information disclosure requirements of capital markets, continuously strengthening the company’s competitiveness in overseas markets and enabling it to confidently participate in the global green trade landscape. Together, they aim to create a benchmark for sustainable development in the tire industry and tell the story of green development in Chinese manufacturing. Chinese manufacturing connects the world, and sustainable power reaches the globe. In the future, both parties will continue to move forward side-by-side, empowering Chinese tire brands with standards, helping national enterprises compete in the international market with their green hard power, steadily expanding their global development footprint, and fully demonstrating the era’s responsibility and commitment of Chinese intelligent manufacturing to the world.
