Security - Protection of assets
Michelin's ''assets'' include both people and tangible goods, as well as knowledge and know-how. The protection of assets is essential for the future of the Group.
Safety and security are everyone's responsibility.
Guiding Principles
Each employee is responsible within the framework of their duties for the proper use and protection of tangible and intangible assets as well as the resources of the Group.
These include, for example, industrial facilities, equipment, the Group's financial resources as well as trade secrets, patents and trademarks.
