It will set a new standard in the industry, with a holistic approach to sustainability, including the exclusive use of CO2-free energy sources and highly efficient and automated processes. The EIB is a key partner in our investment project, and the financing agreement allows us to develop the sustainability of the tire industry further," says Leena Kaipainen, VP, Group Treasurer.
