| As a corporate Apollo Tyres believes in investing in initiatives which have the ability to have a direct impact on the lives of its stakeholders, while strengthening the company's existence as a business entity. This ensures that all activities are sustainable, measurable and form a core part of its entire business plan. The largest area of work involves awareness and prevention of HIV-AIDS. Three key groups are addressed directly through this programme's on-ground activities. |

The trucking community is a crucial stakeholder in the tyre business and is known to be vulnerable to sexual infections and therefore the AIDS virus, due to their nomadic and irregular lifestyle on the road. Besides truck drivers, the community also includes cleaners, mechanics, loaders, migrant workers, small business owners and those living at some of India's largest transportation hubs and catering to the trucking profession. Apollo has established targeted intervention centres called Apollo Tyres Health Care Clinics outside the capital city of New Delhi, Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh, Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu, Vashi outside Mumbai city and Nagpur in Maharashtra, Udaipur and Jaipur in Rajasthan. Others large trucking centres are being considered for future Clinic sites.
These Clinics are run by qualified doctors, counsellors, pharmacists and outreach workers who focus on:
 Diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases (STD)
Behavioural change communication
Condom promotion |

 |
| A complete workplace programme caters to awareness creation among all white and blue-collar employees. At all locations, Master Trainers have been trained to facilitate continuous knowledge upgradation and implementation of all on-ground activities. |
| |
 |
| This is the key vehicle for taking the AIDS awareness and prevention programme to a larger mass of the active working population. Apollo Tyres works with its business partners to assist them in undertaking workplace programmes for their employees. |
