Goodyear has put a new soybean oil procurement policy into place that the company says will help guide processors, farmers and all other members of its supply chain to establish more sustainable practices in terms of growing, harvesting and processing soybeans.
The company says it will work to promote a supply chain free from deforestation and land-grabbing, with the rights of all workers protected. Goodyear expects its soybean oil suppliers to grow and harvest the product using best-practices in terms of cultivation and agriculture, and to manufacture their products in a “responsible and environmentally friendly manner.”
