Sustainable value starts with responsible sourcing
We work with suppliers who share our commitment to quality, compliance, sustainability, and continuous improvement.
A structured approach to supplier partnerships
Suppliers play a strategic role in BKT’s ability to deliver safe, reliable, and high-performance solutions worldwide. Modern tyres are the result of a complex industrial process that brings together multiple materials, technologies, logistics, services, and specialised competencies across a global supply ecosystem.
Managing this complexity requires clear requirements, shared objectives, and long-term collaboration. Supplier selection and management are therefore based on rigorous standards covering quality, ethical conduct, health and safety, and environmental responsibility. These criteria apply consistently across all stages of the relationship, from onboarding to ongoing performance evaluation.
Through transparency, continuous monitoring, and development programmes, BKT works alongside its suppliers to strengthen capabilities, manage risk, and support sustainable growth across the entire value chain. A responsible supply chain is not only a sustainability commitment, but a strategic driver of operational efficiency, innovation, resilience, and long-term value creation.
