As a global leader in lubricant additive manufacturing, ADIPRO understands that its responsibility stretches well beyond industry leadership and customer satisfaction. Its identity, vision and values are rooted in a long-term want for a greener and more sustainable planet, with a commitment to a carbon net zero goal by 2040.
“Given the unique nuances of our industry and our specific type of work, we are clear on our responsibility to contribute to a healthier, more sustainable planet,” says Umesh Amarnani, Managing Director of ADIPRO. “ADIPRO applies its core values –evolving, agile, reliable, transparent and heartful–to all its work, but with special focus on uniquesustainability efforts that create reach to a variety ofdemographics.”
ADIPRO is a global leader in the manufacturing of lubricant additive components and packages, dedicated to driving innovation, sustainability and excellence in meeting the industry’s highest standards.
The heart of their work lies in ADIPRO Global Technology Centre (AGTC), a state-of-the-art global research and development centre headquartered in Mumbai, India.
In addition to AGTC in Mumbai, ADIPRO is home to ADIPRO Africa Technology Centre (AATC), based in Lagos, Nigeria. AATC drives innovation and supports company operations across Africa. ADIPRO also houses offices in the United States, the United Kingdom and Hong Kong, allowing for a more universal and holistic understanding and approach to both its business and its overall sustainability goals.
The threads of ADIPRO’s innovative and state-of-the-art approach are seamlessly woven into its CSR branch, Evolve Charity Trust, which tackles climate change through several unique initiatives focused on girl children, education, mental wellness and reforestation projects.
“Our corporate responsibility and CSR pillar in ADIPRO is an integral part of the business strategy,” explains Umesh. “To drive our vision for sustainability, ADIPRO has adopted initiatives to reduce carbon emission in scope 1, 2 and 3. We have changed our power source from diesel to gas and national grid. We have also partnered with Forests By Heartfulness (FBH), a reforestation initiative based in Hyderabad, India; we have committed to planting approximately 6,000 trees on 7.14 acres of land in India.”
Additionally, ADIPRO engages in waste management, air pollution management, and water resource management. ADIPRO was audited in February 2025 by ECOVADIS to demonstrate its transparency and accountability to sustainability initiatives.
To reduce carbon emission, ADIPRO has also focused on the education of Nigeria’s girl children and on the mental wellness of children around the world.
“Through Evolve, we provide educational materials and school supplies to underprivileged girl children,” adds Umesh. “By encouraging more young girls to attend school and by enabling them with the supplies to do so, we can decrease the rates of unwanted pregnancies, leading to a reduction of our collective carbon footprint and creating long-term impact on reducing the effects of global warming.”
Alongside its partnership with FBH, Evolve has also partnered with its parent organisation, Heartfulness, which offers meditation practices free of charge to encourage relaxation, focus, resilience and inner balance.
“By reducing thought pollution through meditation, we can encourage individuals to be more grounded in the qualities of the heart,” explains Amarnani. “When we lead with those qualities of the heart, it will become easier to objectively understand how to resolve any of our global issues, but especially climate change.
