Innovation isn’t just technological — it’s woven into the fabric of our culture. At Bridgestone Americas, you are part of a team that energizes and empowers you, while respecting what drives you. We believe having great work experiences will create a great experience for customers. At Bridgestone, we refer to the end user of our products and services as “The Boss,” and we recognize going the extra mile for that customer is only possible if you feel Bridgestone is doing the same for you.

What Really Matters highlights the actions we are already taking today—from the products and solutions we develop, to the partnerships we form and the teammate culture we create—as we do our part to make positive, long-term impacts for future generations.
Our company vision isn't focused on just one thing. Rather, it's about how crucial commitments to innovation, material circularity, fleet solutions and more work together to help us contribute to a sustainable future. From reinventing the wheel (yes, literally) to growing our own alternative rubber source, we're working toward getting ourselves and future generations down the road.
Flexible Working Lifestyle
At Bridgestone, we have experienced a major shift in how, when and where work gets done. Using our creativity, passion and technology, we are moving our company forward and diversifying our workforce. We are developing flexible schedules and ways of working so that our teammates benefit from finding the best role and work balance while we continue to build our pool of talent.
To do this, we’ve shifted to a hybrid working model where some roles work on location, some roles move between in-office and off-site with flexible working schedules, and some opportunities will allow teammates to work from anywhere. This shift increases collaboration and creativity while facilitating a more flexible and agile culture.
These hybrid and flexible working models are here to stay because of the trust we have in our leaders and teammates. We know they can work effectively and thrive without a mandated corporate schedule. With creativity, agility, passion and a flexible way of working, we are moving Bridgestone and our teammates into the future of work.
