Did you know that only 30% of the world's children in school are girls and that 2/3 of the 900 million illiterate people are women?   In Southeast Asia, as in the rest of the world, girls' education is an economic and social priority. And for many families, education is a luxury.   Aware of the importance of educating young girls, Michelin, through its Corporate Foundation, has decided to support Enfants du Mékong in its efforts to promote inclusion and equal opportunities by providing access to education for over 100 young female students in 4 Southeast Asian countries where the Group operates: Thailand, Cambodia, The Philippines and Vietnam.   This initiative aims to empower young girls through education, creating a virtuous circle where each of them can become an inspiring role model within their community and for future generations. #InternationalWomensDay United Nations Global Compact Fondation d'Entreprise Michelin

Get ready, the new MotoGP™ season starts in Thailand this weekend!   Once again, each rider will rely on the performance of our tires, the only point of contact between the high-powered bikes and the asphalt of the tracks.   These tires are true technological marvels, incorporating over 150 materials that allow the riders to push their limits in all weather conditions.   Turn by turn, they have to rise to the occasion.   Because our tires are not just accessories. They are the indispensable partners of these precision racing machines that will set the tracks ablaze again this weekend. For the spotlight to shine on the riders and their incredible feats, our tires must perform, lap after lap.   Let the season begin!

Because the time to act is now, Michelin is strengthening its commitment to the fight against global warming. We have reached a new milestone with more ambitious targets to reduce our direct and indirect emissions, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative and aligned with a trajectory to limit global warming to 1.5°C. We aim to achieve net-zero emissions across our entire value chain by 2050 and have been contributing to a low-carbon mobility for many years. The Group has made the fight against global warming a priority around two lines: energy transition and adaptation to the physical impacts of climate change. We are committed to continuing our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint throughout our value chain, always taking into account the entire life cycle of our offers.

Porsche and Michelin extend the track-day season! Because performance shouldn't stop when it starts raining, we have teamed up with Porsche AG to develop a new road-legal track tire for the 992 generation Porsche 911 GT3 RS, specially designed for wet condition☔.  Our engineers have once again created a tailor-made tire that is a true technological masterpiece: 🔹 Enhanced Wet Performance: With a specially designed tread pattern , these tires effectively expel water, improving stability and reducing the risk of aquaplaning. 🔹 Quick Heat-Up: The high silica content in the rubber compound ensures that the tire reaches optimum operating temperature quickly. 🔹 Durability: High wear resistance guarantees long-lasting performance, making this tire suitable for both track enthusiasts and everyday drivers. Another example of our commitment to innovation and our mastery of composites, enabling us to develop high quality tires that improve safety and performance in all conditions.🚀🔧

Our annual results have been released. In a context of simultaneous decline in the original equipment markets across all sectors, intensified competition in mass markets and economic constraints in specialty activities, the Group's sales amount to €27.2 Bn with volumes down by 5.1%. Our segment operating income is set at €3.4 Bn, with a stable margin of 12.6% at constant exchange rates, favored by the improvement of the mix and of the operational performance. Despite the particularly unstable economic and geopolitical context, our results on the People and Planet pillars are moving forward, in line with our All Sustainable approach. Last year saw indeed a record rate of the engagement of our teams. We are also accelerating our sustainability roadmap, with even more ambitious targets in decarbonation, while continuing to integrate more and more renewable or recycled materials into our tires. In 2025, relying on the power of our innovation, the engagement of our teams and the strength of our brand, we will pursue our ambition of building a world-leading manufacturer of life-changing composites and experiences.

✨🌊 Another step towards maritime decarbonization: our WISAMO solution is about to set sail! ✨🌊 Our wingsail has been chosen by SOCARENAM shipyard to equip the new generation patrol boat of the French Directorate of Maritime Affairs, Fisheries, and Aquaculture. This is an important milestone for Michelin as it demonstrates the validity of WISAMO technology in wind-assisted ship propulsion following years of research and development. A technological feat that highlights our expertise in composite materials, enabling ships to reduce their fuel consumption and hence their environmental impact. This contract marks a crucial stage in the technological validation of our solution, paving the way for its deployment on larger sails. To make a significant contribution to the decarbonization of the maritime transport sector. Engineered by Michelin, powered by wind! Photos Credits © Romain SOSSO - Explore Studio
