Programmes we've delivered, and what they changed

The goal: grow tree cover while strengthening farmer livelihoods, building on Apollo Tyres' earlier agroforestry work.

What we did: planted fruit and timber trees on farmers' land alongside their crops, every tree geo-tagged and tracked on GreenTrack.

What it changed: farmers gain a new, lasting source of income from the harvest, with better soil and water on their farms; Apollo Tyres gets a transparent, audit-ready CSR programme.

The goal: turn barren land into a dense, self-sustaining green sanctuary as a family legacy.

What we did: created a Miyawaki forest with closely planted native saplings, and densified the existing plantation to strengthen the canopy and biodiversity.

What it changed: a young native forest designed to become self-sustaining within a few years, with a digital forest the family uses to follow its growth.

The goal: restore coastal ecosystems and protect communities from erosion and storms.

What we did: mangrove plantation with local communities, monitored for transparency.

What it changed: a living shield for the coast, habitat for fish, crabs and birds, and livelihoods for local families through sustainable fishing and honey collection.

The goal: a community forest in the desert, restoring degraded land with the people who live around it.

What we did: planted indigenous species suited to the local ecosystem, developed in partnership with the community so they own and care for it.

What it changed: better soil and air quality, green jobs and long-term community stewardship of the land.

The goal: a sustainability programme employees could take part in, with lasting value for the community.

What we did: Miyawaki learning forests in schools across Chennai, Thiruvallur and Hosur, planted with native fruit, flowering and timber species, with Caterpillar teams joining the planting.

What it changed: school campuses that are now biodiversity hubs for birds and pollinators, and outdoor classrooms for students.
