Apollo Tyres inaugurated two butterfly gardens within the premises of its two manufacturing facilities in Kerala on December 12, 2014. The company also initiated pond management, starting with a cleaning drive, in association with the local community, at Peringakulam, in the Thrissur district of Kerala.
According to a press release, the objective of the above initiatives is to enhance and conserve the native biodiversity inside the Apollo Tyres’ premises in Kerala and the surrounding areas. By creating the butterfly gardens and cleaning & management of the pond, creation and restoration micro-habitat in the region will be enabled.
