    Study Notes

    Tata Steel Sustainability Initiatives

    • Tata Steel has set a goal to become net-neutral in carbon emissions by 2045.
    • Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions are tracked and reported.
    • Initiatives are in place to reduce CO2 emissions. These include switching to alternate fuels, employing electric vehicles, and optimizing transport routes.
    • Alternate fuels are being used in shipping and road transportation.
    • Initiatives are underway to shift to greener modes of logistics. Transportation via waterways (river/sea), rail, and roads are being monitored for emissions.
    • Utilizing rainwater harvesting and solar power are key environmental steps.
    • Vendor awareness and engagement, driven by responsible supply chain policy (RSCP) is emphasized.
    • Implementing initiatives across the supply chain, such as operational efficiency measures, to reduce CO2 emissions.
    • A supply chain Scope 3 emissions framework is in place for accurate tracking.
    • Various projects, including transportation across inland waterways and coastlines (with specified routes), are being developed and implemented.
    • The company is also using digital tools and platforms to monitor and optimize processes, leading to improved efficiency and sustainability.
    • A total of 7 stockyards are being converted to solar energy.
    • Company has adopted various digitalization initiatives and is integrating with FOIS systems in support of sustainability efforts.

    Sustainability Terms

    • Sustainable Development: Development that satisfies current needs without jeopardizing future generations' capacity to satisfy their own needs.
    • Net Zero: Balance between greenhouse gas emissions produced and removed from the atmosphere.

    Emission Types

    • Scope 1: Direct emissions from company facilities.
    • Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased energy.
    • Scope 3: Indirect emissions throughout the supply chain.

    CO2 Calculation Assumptions
