JK Tyre Earns EcoVadis Silver Sustainability Rating

JK Tyre & Industries Limited has earned a prestigious Silver Rating from EcoVadis, placing the company in the 93rd percentile globally and among the top 7 percent of companies worldwide assessed for sustainability performance. The recognition reinforces JK Tyre’s growing stature as a responsible manufacturer committed to long-term environmental and social stewardship.

EcoVadis is one of the world’s most widely used sustainability rating platforms, evaluating companies across multiple industries on their environmental, social and governance practices. The Silver rating reflects JK Tyre’s consistent progress and structured approach to sustainability across its operations and supply chain.

Strong Performance Across Key Sustainability Pillars

EcoVadis evaluates companies on four core pillars: Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. JK Tyre’s Silver rating highlights its balanced performance across all these areas, underscoring a comprehensive and integrated sustainability strategy rather than isolated initiatives.

In the financial year 2024–25, JK Tyre achieved an overall score of 77 out of 100. Among the four pillars, Environment emerged as the company’s strongest area, with an impressive score of 89 points. This performance reflects JK Tyre’s focused efforts in climate action, energy efficiency, emissions control and the implementation of robust environmental management systems.

Environmental Leadership Drives Overall Score

JK Tyre’s environmental score signals sustained investments in reducing environmental impact across manufacturing and operations. Initiatives around energy optimisation, improved emissions monitoring and responsible resource management have contributed significantly to the company’s strong performance in this category.

The rating also reflects the company’s broader efforts to align its environmental practices with global sustainability standards, supporting climate resilience and responsible industrial growth.

Leadership Emphasises Long-Term Value Creation

Commenting on the achievement, Dr. Raghupati Singhania, Chairman and Managing Director of JK Tyre & Industries Limited, stated that the recognition is the result of sustained and collective efforts across the organisation. He highlighted that the Silver rating acknowledges progress in environmental stewardship, ethical governance, labour practices and responsible sourcing.

Dr. Singhania added that the EcoVadis assessment validates JK Tyre’s integrated approach to sustainability and serves as encouragement for teams to further strengthen initiatives that create long-term value for stakeholders, including customers, employees, partners and communities.

Focus On Responsible Growth And Ethical Practices

Beyond environmental performance, the EcoVadis evaluation reflects JK Tyre’s continued emphasis on maintaining high ethical standards, promoting a safe and inclusive workplace, and advancing sustainability throughout its value chain. The company’s approach to responsible procurement and governance has played a key role in achieving the Silver distinction.

A Step Forward In JK Tyre’s Sustainability Journey

The EcoVadis Silver Rating marks another milestone in JK Tyre’s sustainability journey, reinforcing its commitment to addressing climate change, fostering ethical business practices and supporting inclusive growth. As sustainability expectations continue to rise globally, the recognition positions JK Tyre strongly among industry peers while setting the stage for further progress in the years ahead.
