Contribution to UN SDGs

Tata Steel aligns its operations and CSR with the UN Sustainable Development Goals to ensure a better future.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal call to action for people, planet, and prosperity, fostering collaborative efforts among all stakeholders. The 2030 agenda aims to strengthen universal peace and offers a common vision for peaceful societies. Tata Steel leads in sustainability through its business processes and diverse community welfare initiatives as part of Corporate Social Responsibility.

Aligning the SDGs with the Integrated Reporting () framework creates value for shareholders and enhances the entire value chain, promoting long-term organisational sustainability. This approach fosters innovation in reporting and strengthens accountability for the six capitals. Sustainability is central to Tata Steel’s plans, prioritising 68 out of 169 targets across 15 relevant goals.
