Environment
Respecting and safeguarding the environment is a fundamental principle held by all Tata Group companies.
Tata Steel has implemented environmental management systems that have been certified as meeting the requirements of international standard ISO14001 at all its main manufacturing sites. These systems provide us with a framework for managing compliance and achieving continuous improvement.
Our overall performance is subject to ongoing and detailed scrutiny by the Tata Steel Group board of directors, and Group-wide leadership in environmental matters is provided by the board’s Health, Safety and Environment Committee.
Management control and compliance
Our first priority is to remain fully compliant with the conditions of our environmental permits and with any other legal requirements that apply within the jurisdictions in which we operate.
Energy and climate change
Arguably our most significant environmental impact is through the energy we consume and the carbon dioxide we produce in our processes.
Our environmental impacts
Besides carbon dioxide and energy, our main potential environmental impacts are from emissions to air of particulates, oxides of nitrogen, and sulphur and to water of hydrocarbons and suspended solids. We monitor all of these impacts, together with waste treatment and report annually on all of these.
People, Planet, Prosperity
We take a long-term view of sustainability to balance economic prosperity and social equity with looking after the one planet on which we live.
