Embracing shared goals for sustainable development
The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) provide a common 2030 sustainable development agenda for nations across the world with 193 countries coming together in agreement on a comprehensive and ambitious development agenda for people and planet. Tata Steel has always been a leader in contributing to the achievement of goals which have been codified under the SDGs through its operations, products, people and community welfare practices.

A total of 68 targets have been prioritised across the 15 Goals.
