Tyre and rubber giant Bridgestone Corporation (Bridgestone) will initiate a voluntary reduction in compensation for its Japan-based corporate officers, in light of the COVID-19 global pandemic. These voluntary measures will be effective immediately and remain so until the end of 2020.
Bridgestone’s foremost concern is in protecting the long-term health of the company and minimising the adverse effects to its employees. Bridgestone will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and its impact on employees and the company’s global operations. Bridgestone will also adjust its response plans as necessary and take appropriate action to promote the well-being and safety of its employees, while also addressing the needs of customers.
