Bridgestone Americas is committed to being a good corporate citizen nationally, regionally and especially in the communities where BSA has manufacturing plants, sales facilities or offices. Since 1952, the Bridgestone Trust Fund has supported charitable and philanthropic endeavors in three major categories: Civic and Community; Culture and the Arts; and Education, Health and Welfare. This annual, multi-million dollar effort has provided innumerable benefits. Bridgestone Americas adheres to the Bridgestone Way, the global Bridgestone group’s corporate philosophy to build not just better products, but better communities.

From a regional perspective, Firestone Industrial Products exemplifies its commitment with local support of several charities including: the United Way; the MS Walk; and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (JDRF).

For more than 50 years, Keep America Beautiful (KAB) has been engaging individuals to take greater responsibility for improving their local community environments. Firestone Diversified Products partners with Keep Indianapolis Beautiful annually.
