JK
Tyre & Industries Ltd., a leading player in the Indian tyre industry and a
global force in mobility solutions, is proud to mark World Manufacturing Day by
highlighting its track record of setting manufacturing benchmarks, from health
and safety to sustainability and process excellence.
Anchored
by its ‘Safety First’ philosophy, JK Tyre has earned the prestigious Five-Star
Safety Rating from the British Safety Council for all its manufacturing in
India and Mexico. This achievement led to the conferral of the Sword of Honour
for every manufacturing site, placing JK Tyre among a select global group
recognized for exemplary health and safety practices. The rigorous audits
behind these awards reflect the company’s relentless commitment to employee
welfare and operational excellence.
JK
Tyre also stands at the forefront of environmental management, with the Globe
of Honour awarded to its Chennai and Mysuru plants in recognition of
outstanding leadership and continual improvement in sustainability. This
distinction demonstrates JK Tyre’s best-in-class practices in resource
stewardship, risk management, and stakeholder engagement.
Further
raising the bar, JK Tyre became the first Indian tyre manufacturer to publish
Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for three of its products each
representing a distinct facility: Vikrant, Cavendish, and Chennai. EPDs provide
transparent, third-party-verified data on the lifecycle environmental impacts
of products, enabling customers to make informed, sustainable choices and
confirming JK Tyre’s industry leadership in responsible manufacturing.
Driven
by its validated Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), JK Tyre is committed
to reducing carbon intensity to 50% by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by

responsibly-sourced renewable and recycled materials in production and
