With more than 150 years of heritage, BFGoodrich Tires is dedicated to providing high-performance tires for those passionate about driving in virtually any environment. And this passion comes with a mission to respect our environment.

It is the first time the brand is associating itself with CSR. Our commitment to CSR and sustainability will continue with further initiatives as we commit to a sustainable and responsible future and continue communicating via our online and offline communication.

2) ROAD SAFETY DRIVE - UNIVERSITY ROADSHOWS

BFGoodrich is fully committed to road accident prevention efforts. That’s why we raise awareness of best practices in road safety among policymakers and populations.

We are all responsible for making the right choices and leading the younger generation.  Young people are the cornerstone of our society and are the ones in charge of building a legacy. For this reason, sharing knowledge and expertise with today’s youth is a rising need. We aim to communicate to young drivers on the key elements of road safety.

In association with Dakar 2023, ASO and influencers, we have partnered with selected universities to educate and increase awareness among the younger generation via the University Road Shows.  We aim to deploy a road safety aspect of both on-road and off-road to educate new drivers & drivers to be, create awareness, and generate a change in their driving behavior.

Global partnerships with several organizations:
i) The United Nations Road Safety Collaboration (UNRSC).

ii) The Global Road Safety Partnership (GRSP).
iii) The FIA High-Level Panel for Road Safety and Youth for Road Safety (YOURS) - An ambition that addresses the UN sustainable development goals.

Physical initiative in 1 key country universities:
i)  Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University, Dammam (PMU)

Date: TBC

Our Key Communication:

i) Seat Belt: 
Always adjust your seat so you can easily reach your dashboard, wear your safety belt, and keep your thumbs out of your steering wheel while driving.

ii) Right Equipment: 
Bring the right equipment: tire deflator, air compressor, flag and pole, spare tyre in good condition, repair kit and pump. Ensure you have a full tank of petrol and more water. Recovery rope and soft shackles in case of emergency.

iii) During Long Drives: 
Always go with at least one other car.

iv) Tire Pressure:
Adapt your tire pressure based on the ground – for soft grounds like sand @15PSI, for hard grounds (rocks and stones) @22 PSI, the softer the sand, the lower pressure you need in your tire.

v) Resistance:
Choose the path of least resistance. If you feel the car is pulling down, don’t fight it. Remember, do not fight gravity. Always respect verticals. 

3) DAKAR - E-GAME - AN ONLINE CSR INITIATIVE

In partnership with Dakar, BFGoodrich is back with the e-Game, an online experience for all off-road enthusiasts.
