OUR COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

SO1 CORPORATE INITIATIVES

There are economic, environmental and social impacts on our communities arising out of our activities. The economic impacts had been largely positive due to employment creation, infrastructure development and overall contribution to Regional & National economy. We recognize adverse environmental & social impacts as a result of our activities and address these proactively. Our commitment to manage these impacts has been articulated in Tata Code of Conduct, Quality Policy, EHS Policy, HR Policy and Social Responsibility Policy (Indicator – 3.7). The impacts are;

Environmental – Air Emission, Water Pollutants, Resource Conservation, Global Warming, etc.

Social – Health, Land Management, Pressure on Logistics, etc.

Under TBEM these issues are addressed by various agencies in the organization, which includes target setting in the form Balance Score Card, monitoring and measurement and review and reporting of results. Some of the results of our initiative towards addressing community concern are presented here below. The voluntary actions to improve quality of life of community initiated by Tata Steel in line with VISION2007 are also highlighted in the following section.

“Employee volunteerism” was arguably the most identifiable trait that came to the fore, last year. A devastating fire ravaged the houses and belongings of the families of Agasiya village in Jharkhand. The employees of Tata steel rushed with aid and contributions from their personal incomes. This act illustrated the spirit of employee volunteerism that is taking deep roots in our ethos.

Tata Steel in the year under review, through the Tata Relief Committee (TRC) continued to provide rescue, relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction services in locations across the country, affected by natural calamities.

The TRC along with the Government of Orissa jointly undertook the construction of 11 schools in the year.
