Tata Steel's sustainability mission

"In a free enterprise, the community is not just another stakeholder, but is, in fact, the very purpose of its existence."

It is these words of Jamsetji Tata, Founder of Tata Steel that have shaped the Company's culture of social responsibility. At Tata Steel, the benefi ts of wealth creation extend beyond the business, fl owing into the communities in which the Company operates. Tata Steel's approach to business has evolved from the concept that the wealth created must be continuously returned to society.

The responsibility of combining the three elements of society - social, environmental and economic - is of utmost importance to the way of life at Tata Steel. It is the combination of these three elements that ensures that business is sustainable for all stakeholders.
