Apollo Tyres has been recognised with the prestigious Sword of Honour from the British Safety Council, demonstrating excellence in the management of health and safety risks at work.
The company’s Andhra Pradesh plant was awarded with British Safety Council’s ‘Sword of Honour’, following its achievement of Five Stars in British Safety Council’s health and safety management audit scheme. The qualification period for this is between August 1, 2023 and July 31, 2024.
