Developed by the FIA, with the support from its charitable arm, the FIA Foundation, the FIA Road Safety Index gives organisations worldwide a structured and data-driven methodology to assess, manage, report and improve their road safety footprint. 

Giti Tire’s 3-star rating recognises the company’s exceptional performance in systematically managing its road safety footprint across its Chinese value chain. It confirms that Giti Tire’s road safety policies and procedures are fully aligned with international best practices, including efficient reporting mechanisms such as requiring all direct logistics suppliers to notify the relevant Giti business department of any fatal or serious road traffic crashes within 48 hours.

As part of its ongoing commitment to road safety, Giti Tire took the initiative to engage with the rigorous FIA Road Safety Index methodology. This process provided valuable insights that helped refine internal policies and targets around driver safety, vehicle procurement, and supply chain oversight – contributing to safer workplaces, operations, and road environments across China.

Giti Tire confirmed it will leverage insights from the China rating process to progressively expand implementation to other key global markets, including Indonesia, Singapore, and the European markets, ensuring a unified and gold-standard approach to road safety worldwide.  

FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem said: “I congratulate Giti Tire on achieving the top 3-star rating under the FIA Road Safety Index. This reflects a strong commitment to data-driven improvement and continuous learning. By embedding road safety into its operations and supply chains, Giti Tire is helping raise industry standards and protect lives on the road.”

FIA Secretary General for Automobile Mobility and Sustainability Willem Groenewald said, “One of the strongest messages from the NCAP25 event is that fleet safety is more important than ever to help us save lives at scale. Giti Tire’s achievement demonstrates how the FIA Road Safety Index can serve as a catalyst for organisational improvement. Their commitment to replicate this 3-star rating across key international markets sets a powerful road safety leadership reflects a proactive approach to road safety leadership.” 

Giti Tire Group Chief Sustainability Officer Dr. Pang Chong Hau said, “Giti Tire is proud to be the first tire manufacturer to join the FIA Road Safety Index – a milestone that reflects more than a public pledge; it represents a driving force in strengthening our internal safety culture. Our employees are both advocates and beneficiaries of road safety, while our customers, fleet partners, and millions of road users benefit from safer tire technologies and responsible product design. Through our engagement with the FIA platform, we elevate road safety awareness among employees and logistics partners, adopt global best practices, and continuously enhance our safety management systems. This commitment extends across our entire value chain – underscoring Giti Tire’s dedication to social responsibility, customer well-being, and sustainable development.”

At the NCAP25 Global Event on Vehicle Safety in Shanghai, the FIA moderated the session “Fleet Safety from a Global Perspective,” highlighting the importance of improving road safety across workplaces and supply chains. The FIA emphasised that work-related crashes remain a major occupational risk, making proactive fleet road safety management a critical priority for organisations worldwide.

Through its global reach, the FIA partners with organisations to drive improvements at scale and enhance road safety across operations – benefiting employees and millions of road users.
