Apollo Tyres’ “Beyond Business?” Conference

Indian manufacturer Apollo Tyres recently organised a day-long conference, attended by over 80 participants from the company’s raw material and machinery suppliers and business partners. Called “Beyond Business?”, the theme of the conference was whether a company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives are an integral part of business activities, or beyond the scope of business.

The objective of the conference was to give the business partners an insight into Apollo’s CSR initiatives, to create a learning platform to showcase best practices in the field and to encourage the business partners to move towards a strategic and sustainable set of CSR activities. Speakers included Apollo executives, representatives from national organisations and from suppliers.
