Chairman’s Message
Importantly, our 
purpose is to not 
only be a participant 
but an effective 
contributor to ensure 
spin off effects into 
our value chain.
Dear Stakeholders,
I am pleased to present our 11th 
Sustainability Report for the 
Financial Year 2021-22, which 
provides an update on the Company’s 
Environment, Social and Governance 
(ESG) performance for the fiscal 
and an important milestone in our 
Sustainability journey.
In the fiscal, we completed an 
organisation-wide adoption of the 
ISO 26000 standard – on social 
responsibility by integrating various 
provisions across the core subjects 
of the standard. The deployment 
being assured by a third party 
helps us to validate the process. 
Another achievement has been 
the independent assurance of our 
Corporate Water Footprint. This 
exercise instils a layer of credibility 
to our claims regarding water use 
efficiency. The assessment revealed a 
38% recycled water use against water 
withdrawn in FY22. 
ESG continues to be a catalyst of 
responsible growth globally, featuring 
as a top priority item for cross section 
of stakeholders. I have witnessed 
a massive positive movement from 
institutional customers, investors 
and regulators around ESG. 
Importantly, our purpose is to not 
only be a participant but an effective 
contributor to ensure spin off effects 
into our value chain. It is our firm belief 
that this shall lead to long-term value 
creation and sustainable value for all.
As Sustainability is identified as one 
of our growth pillars, the Company 
ensures an enabling Governance 
set up for effective proliferation of 
sustainability practices. Our policies 
across ESG serve as the guiding 
instruments in realising our ambition 
to be truly sustainable. 
We are in the midst of a digitalisation 
transformation and hence data 
security plays a pivotal role in our 
business continuity. We are actively 
seeking this journey towards an agile 
and digital way of working and believe 
this shall enhance our sustainability 
quotient further. 
The Company’s approach to 
Environment goes beyond efficient 
operations, and focusses on the 
conservation of natural capital for the 
future generations. This is resonated 
in our ambition to become Carbon 
Neutral by 2050. To help us realise this 
goal, we are working on developing 
a climate change strategy, where 
decarbonisation takes the centre 
stage. The Company has announced 
strategic partnerships for procuring 
renewable power for its consumption 
and the same is enshrined in our target 
of 25% to total power share from 
renewable sources by FY26. In addition 
to this, we are also using Biomass 
as a replacement for coal in some of 
our operations to further reduce our 
emissions. Apart from monitoring our 
emissions from Scope 1 and Scope 
2, we also measure emissions in our 
Value Chain – Scope 3 to ensure 
comprehensive assessment of our 
Carbon footprint. This also forms a 
part of our annual GHG accounting, 
which is externally assured. We have 
initiated a few pilot projects in this 
domain, and one such initiative is the 
last mile deliveries through electric 
vehicles. While all these initiatives 
progressively make our operations 
greener, they also help us getting 
future ready. 
The Social investments we make in 
our people, communities, value chain 
and customers put us in good stead 
to remain profitable in the future. 
We strongly believe in our purpose to 
serve social goals and be a facilitator 
for our stakeholders to realise their 
ambitions. As a member of the Global 
Platform for Sustainable Natural 
Rubber (GPSNR), we engage with 
rubber growers, a critical stakeholder  
of our value chain. The membership 
helps us to serve the mandate of 
connecting with our partners beyond 
business considerations. We have long 
advocated an approach to empower 
our communities, especially rural 
women, by enhancing their skillset 
and providing livelihood opportunites 
at their doorsteps. The recent third-
party assessments of our CSR efforts 
revealed that nearly 70% of trained 
women are involved in income 
generation activities and earn over INR 
5,000 a month. The social satisfaction 
that is derived from such engagements 
acts as a positive contributor to our 
value creation journey.
Sustainability will continue to provide 
the central purpose for corporates 
and Apollo Tyres is committed to 
utilise every opportunity to leverage 
from the feedback and learning in this 
journey to go the distance

Onkar Kanwar

In its efforts to make sustainability 
performance a core business objective, 
the Company began submitting its 
disclosures, based on our international 
guidelines from 2010. These disclosures 
were instrumental in supporting 
continual improvement towards 
a better growth trajectory in all 
domains of the triple bottom line – 
social, environmental and financial.
Management Framework to build 
Oversight
The Sustainability Steering Group, 
with representations of the senior 
members of the management, is 
a conduit between the Board of 
Directors and the organisation as a 
whole. It serves to provide oversight 
on sustainability issues of critical 
significance and guides it towards 
achieving sustainability objectives. 
The committee is responsible 
for setting up an overall vision. 
Sustainability & CSR Department 
acts as the secretariat of the Steering 
Group. Initiatives under the 6 pillars of 
Sustainability are anchored by various 
cross functional working groups in the 
organisation.
The Group strengthened its 
commitment to pursue sustainability 
by assessing emerging challenges in 
domains like climate induced risks and 
setting a roadmap on sustainability 
for 2026. For this purpose, assessment 
as per Task Force on Climate Related 
Financial Disclosures (TCFD) was 
undertaken in 2021 to map climate-
related risks and opportunities. 
This dovetails with our overall 
Sustainability Strategy.

Risks And Mitigation
The Company has also put in place a 
robust risk management framework 
that identifies and evaluates 
business risks and opportunities. 
The Company’s risk management 
processes ensure that these risks 
are promptly identified, and an 
appropriate mitigation action 
plan is developed and monitored 
periodically to drive sustainable 
growth. Sustainability risks are 
identified through formal and informal 
interactions with the stakeholders, 
and mitigation plans are developed. 
The risks are prioritised and reported 
to the Board each quarter.
Action plans are being drawn for each of these focus areas to 
achieve tangible outcomes by 2026.

Climate Resilience for a Thriving Ecosystem
Climate impacts are a growing reality, 
and the manufacturing sector can play 
a key role in helping mitigate this crisis. 
Being a part of the manufacturing 
ecosystem,the Company realises its 
position of influence and commits to 
action. 
Company Approach
Apollo Tyres is working concertedly to 
introduce climate-resilient operations 
with a long-term approach. The cross-
functional Environment Working 
Group decides the strategy and 
pathways to address environment 
aspects. The Company has 
undergone climate risk assessment 
as per the Taskforce on Climate 
Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) 
framework. Based on the identified 
areas, mitigation strategies have been 
formulated and action plans drawn to 
put them into action. 
To ensure a gradual transformation 
to a low-carbon trajectory, the 
Company has been working on a 
decarbonisation strategy, looking at 
ways to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 
2 emissions. To augment this strategy, 
Apollo Tyres has been looking to 
accelerate the renewable energy 
usage in its operations. It recently 
announced its decision to invest 
in solar power with a guaranteed 
supply of 40 million clean units for our 
Chennai plant.
At the Company level, more than 
8% of its power requirement in 
the reporting period was met by 
renewable (wind and solar) sources. 
The acceleration will further 
ensure annual improvement in our 
sustainability journey. The Limda 
facility in Gujarat, India uses steam 
that is produced using waste heat 
recovery system from a third party. 
This augments the Company’s vision to 
pursue a low carbon trajectory.
To keep its approach comprehensive, 
the Company has also been looking 
at value chain emissions or the Scope 
3 footprint and exploring ways to 
reduce it. As a novel effort towards 
this, it kicked off a pilot initiative by 
deploying electric vehicles (EVs) for 
the delivery of tyres from its regional 
distribution centre (RDC) to multiple 
Business Partners in Bengaluru, in the 
southern part of India. This initiative, 
while on one hand, will address the 
concern of growing environment 
pollution, it will also help mitigate the 
impacts of climate change.
Apollo Tyres has announced a 
strategic partnership with Tata Power 
for the deployment of public charging 
stations across India. These charging 
stations will be deployed at Apollo 
Tyres’ Commercial and Passenger 
Vehicle Zones spread across the 
country.
As per the agreement between Apollo 
Tyres and Tata Power, the latter 
will set up Charging Stations at 150 
branded retail outlets – CV and PV

Resource Consciousness for a 
Sustainable Ecosystem
At Apollo Tyres, resource efficiency is 
of critical significance as it translates 
to optimal use as well cost benefits. 
Raw Material Footprint
The three main constituents used 
for manufacturing tyres are natural 
rubber, synthetic rubber and carbon 
black. While these constitute a 
major part of the raw material, it 
uses other materials as part of its 
overall raw material requirement. The 
total raw material consumed across 
the operations was 6,86,383 metric 
tonnes. The total recycled material 
was 8,812 metric tonnes.
Apollo Tyres aspires 
to be carbon neutral 
by 2050 and is 
investing in advanced 
processes and 
systems to keep it on 
course to achieve this 
objective.
Zones – of Apollo Tyres initially. In 
addition to the customers visiting 
these tyre retail outlets, the 
charging stations would also be 
open for use by the general public 
as well, throughout the year.
Apart from this, the Company 
is also working in reducing the 
distance in transporting finished 
products, This is aimed at reducing 
the Scope 3 emissions. For instance 
in Hungary, the Company is 
building a warehouse that can 
lead to a saving of 500 thousand 
kilometres of distance travelled  
per year.
At the heart of the climate strategy 
lies the underlying purpose to 
create means for climate adaptive 
and efficient operations. The FY26 
roadmap on Sustainability provides 
the basis for putting this purpose to 
action and effectively monitoring 
the performance.

Driving Sustainable Consumption
To support the EV development in 
India and address the requirement 
from this fast-emerging market, the 
Company has developed an EV range, 
which offers a low-rolling resistance 
coefficient, reduced noise and better 
comfort without sacrificing structural 
durability and wear performance. 
Several sizes are now available in its 
portfolio to cater to the demand of 
the upcoming EV vehicle.
During the fiscal, the rolling resistance 
of the PCR was reduced from 7 Kg/T 
to 6.3 Kg/T translating into reduction 
of rolling loss and reduced fuel 
consumption, without compromising 
any other performance.
The Company uses efficient 
techniques for re-treading of truck 
tyres to provide extended life cycle of 
the tyre body material to 2-3 times, 
thus avoiding the need for frequent 
replacements. Re-treading is also 
a green process as it extends the 
usage life of the tyre significantly. 
Improvement of wear life for all 
tyres ensures improved re-use of 
the non-consumable part of tyres 
to a longer period.
Improvements achieved in few parameters in FY22
Silica based tyre production for PCR 
category was ~ 28%, which reduced the 
consumption of carbon black, a fossil fuel based 
reinforcing agent.
‘Smart Cure Technology’ was introduced 
in TBR based on real time heat input and 
termination of cure cycle and achieve right 
cure level for all tyres.
Early Detection system established for TBR 
Tyre by measuring green tyre uniformity, 
which resulted in cured tyre rejection.
Energy Performance
Apollo Tyres utilises a mix of 
renewable and non-renewable fuel 
types to meet its energy requirements. 
In its India operations, the main 
source of direct energy continues to 
be coal, followed by furnace oil. It 
has invested in renewable energy like 
solar and wind power as direct energy 
sources. In the Europe operations, 
direct energy is sourced from natural 
gas. Indirect energy sources in the 
Indian Operations comprised of grid 
electricity along with wind energy. In 
Europe, electricity is the main source 
of indirect energy.
The total energy consumption (from 
both direct and indirect sources) 
for the reporting year was 7,162 TJ. 
The share of direct energy was 71% 
(5,099 TJ) and the indirect energy 
accounted for 29% (2,062 TJ).
The Company’s Limda facility 
contributed captive capacities for 
solar and wind energy, while Chennai 
sourced solar energy from captive 
capacity and imported wind power 
to add to its energy sources.

beneficiaries. They play an important role in 
creating awareness about health services and 
referring the beneficiaries to healthcare centres for 
availing treatment facilities. PEs are the typically 
mechanics or owners of small restaurants (dhabas), 
barber shops, and street vendors, and so on, who 
are based at transhipment hubs and remain in 
close contact with truck drivers. The program has 
mobilised 1000+ PEs who provide voluntary services 
for the healthcare program across locations.

With a goal to reduce environmental 
impact in the raw material and 
compound development, the company 
has taken significant steps to increase 
the use of recycled end-of-life tyre 
(ELT) products in its products. 
Recycled material usage increased 
by 6.5% over the previous year and 
expanded to many components to 
reduce virgin material consumption.

Compliance with Global 
regulations
To enhance the safety standards, the 
Government of India has introduced 
mandatory compliance of new norms 
for tyre majors (including Rolling 
Resistance, Wet Grip and Rolling 
sound emissions). Accordingly, 
new tyres manufactured will carry 
star rating / labelling, thus helping 
the consumers to make informed 
decisions. The tyre labeling system is 
envisaged to bring a better informed 
decision making process for the 
customer to select and purchase new 
tyres. It has embraced the new AIS142 
standards in India and is compliant 
was almost 28% which thus reduced 
the consumption of carbon black, a 
fossil fuel based reinforcing agent. 
It has entered into partnerships 
with recycling companies employing 
de-vulcanisation technology for 
enabling tyre-to-tyre recycling 
to process ELT rubber crumb and 
other waste rubber into a tyre 
derived polymer, to enhance the 
quality of secondary materials. It 
has entered into partnerships with 
recycling companies employing de-
vulcanisation technology for enabling 
tyre-to-tyre recycling to process 
ELT rubber crumb and other waste 
rubber into a tyre derived polymer, 
to enhance the quality of secondary 
materials. Such materials have huge 
potential to be used in Off-Highway, 
TBR and PCR tyres. It has several 
partnerships to make bio-rubber, 
specifically, bio-polybutadiene, new 
generation styrene-butadiene rubber, 
new hydrogenated styrene-butadiene 
rubber, etc. from fully renewable 
feedstock, recycled polyester  
and nylon. 
Extended life and Optimising Tyre Weight
This involves reducing environmental impact in the product use/disposal phases
The Company has continued its research on tyre weight optimisation to reduce 
the amount of raw materials used in the raw material acquisition phase, improve 
fuel economy during use phase and reduce the generation of waste in the 
disposal phase.
