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

  • Rail transport calculations use a thumb rule formula based on globally accepted principles.
  • 1 million tonnes KM of rail distance equates to 17 tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions.
  • 1 million tonnes KM of road distance equates to 204 tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions.
  • Shipping calculations involve vessel size, class, speed and other vessel parameters.
