The European Tyre and Rubber Manufacturers’ Association (ETRMA) has released its Manifesto for the legislative period of 2024-2029, titled “#TRACTION4CHANGE: A shared agenda for a competitive, secure, and inclusive Europe.” This manifesto advocates for strategic initiatives aimed at bolstering the industrial competitiveness of the sector while emphasising its crucial role in advancing zero-emission mobility, circularity, and sustainability. Additionally, the manifesto underscores the importance of digital solutions in enhancing vehicle safety, efficiency, and environmental performance. “To enable the European Union to continue its leadership in the digital and green transitions, a renewed focus on industry and its competitiveness is required,” states ETRMA president Chris Delaney. “The European tyre and rubber industry is an essential part of enabling safe and sustainable mobility and I am pleased to present our vision for the next EU institutional cycle.” “The European tyre and rubber industry provides the traction for Europe’s economy and society”, echoes Adam McCarthy, ETRMA secretary general. “We urge European policymakers to join us in setting an agenda for a competitive Europe that delivers on both the digital and green transition.” Call to policymakers ETRMA’s Manifesto calls on European policymakers to join the tyre and rubber industry in setting an agenda for a competitive Europe that: Recognises the strategic role of the European tyre and rubber industry and enhances its competitiveness. Safeguards the single market by effectively implementing and enforcing legislation. Encourages investment in Europe through consistent and proportionate future regulation Increases Europe’s sustainability by designing and manufacturing circular and renewable products. Increases consumer choice, improves sustainable mobility and makes roads safer by enabling digital mobility systems. ETRMA says it looks forward to continuing its fruitful collaboration with policymakers and all stakeholders to help develop effective, balanced and science-based policies yielding benefits for the environment, consumers and businesses.

At the EIT RawMaterials summit, we discussed this week how to build a resilient and sustainable raw materials supply chain to secure the green and digital transition of the European economy. On behalf of CLEPA - European Association of Automotive Suppliers, I could address the challenges that the automotive supply industry faces to secure a responsible supply chain and hear more about standardisation efforts in the raw materials sector. Industry initiatives in the automotive industry are making progress (e.g. Responsible Supply Chain Initiative, Drive Sustainability, Drive+) to increase collaboration to foster transparency and due diligence, but the supply chain is deep and complex. Individual companies often lack visibility or leverage to control what’s happening in the many tiers between mine and their own operations. Further harmonization is needed, as well as efforts to improve regulatory coherence. If too much time goes lost in reporting, filling out supplier surveys, signing code of conducts and worrying about liability risks, too little time will remain for actual stakeholder engagement and improvements on the ground. Thank you Antonia Mihaylova, Knut Ansgar Hirsch, Aleksandra Cholewa, Assheton Stewart Carter for sharing about your great work to ensure a responsible raw materials supply chain.
