Bridgestone Supports Relief Efforts for Turkey-Syria Earthquake

Bridgestone Corporation would like to express its deepest sympathy to all the people affected by the earthquake that struck near the Turkish-Syrian border on February 6, 2023 and wishes for a speedy and full recovery for the people and communities.

Bridgestone will donate one million Euros through the Red Cross and a local foundation to support relief and rebuilding efforts for the people and areas affected by the earthquake.  Brisa, a joint venture of Bridgestone Corporation and Sabanci Holding and Turkey’s tyre industry leader, has already provided needed supplies to the affected areas.
