Bridgestone donated 1 million Baht to support UNICEF’s mandate to prevent violence against children. As Bridgestone believes that everyone’s voice matters to children’s future, Bridgestone would like to be a part of an active society, helping raise public awareness as well as helping develop a better public understanding of child maltreatment in Thailand so as to cooperatively monitor and notify state officials when witnessing any incidents associated with violence against children.

Because Bridgestone’s intention is to embrace social responsibility as Bridgestone’s CSR commitment, “Our Way To Serve”, Bridgestone is eternally committed to promote better communities and enhance the way people live, learn and work. Also, Bridgestone is dedicated to ensure the safety and well-being of children as one of the most important forces of better communities is Thai children’s quality of life.
