TATA STEEL - Integrated report & annual accounts 2021-22

CONTRIBUTION TO UN SDGs

Sustainable growth aligned with a shared goal

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal call to action launched by the United Nations (UN) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030.

Since the launch of the SDGs, Tata Steel is committed to contributing to the achievement of SDGs through its operations, products, people and community welfare practices. As a responsible corporate citizen, we have conducted an internal assessment to arrive at the list of prioritised SDGs and relevant targets for the Company based on national/regional context, current impact and opportunity to create greater impact.

The prioritised SDGs for Tata Steel as a result of this assessment are mentioned below:

Dimna Lake View, Jamshedpur

The SDGs are integral to the identification of our material issues, which in turn, feeds into our strategic planning process, resulting in the formulation of our Strategic Objectives (SOs) and Strategic Enablers (SEs). These SOs and SEs are realised through the process of managing our Capitals (financial, intellectual, manufactured, human, natural, social & relationship) and thereby contribute to the achievement of the UN SDGs as depicted in the chart below:
