For a sustainable future
For Tata Motors, sustainable value creation is based on long-term relationships, which we nurture with all our partners across the value chain, including suppliers, vendors and dealers. Some of the key enablers for the Company to be ‘fit for future’ include a harmonious co-existence with the communities where we operate, a consistent performance in introducing environment-friendly technologies and empowering our people while preparing them for future.

Given that environment is a global concern, any effort at preserving local ecosystems would benefit local communities and the society at large. Through Vasundhara, TML’s environment-related programme, the Company contributes to enhance environmental sustainability and aspires to promote environmental consciousness among communities. The initiative facilitates and encourages the protection, conservation, judicious use and augmentation of natural resources.

Impact created 56,161 Lives touched and 1,03,746 Saplings planted
JLR
JLR proactively balances the risks and opportunities associated with biodiversity, protected species and habitats, both within its sites and across the wider landscape. At its Fen End Special Vehicle Operations facility in the Weat Midlands, UK, there has been significant ecology mitigation of ponds and badger tunnels. The bunds at the location reused the excavated soil from building excavation and 35% of the materials used for construction were from recognised highly responsible manufacturers (BES 6001 Very Good, Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC)).
Some of the key aspects of this ecological restoration project were:
90% of construction waste was diverted from landfill.
78,000 m3 of soil was re-used during the construction of the new vehicle operations building and the associated landscaping.
A net gain in biodiversity was delivered through:
Creation of 8.5 hectares of new high-value habitat features Planting over 38,000 trees Improvement of 8 hectares of existing habitat, including Runway Woodland (a community woodland that was planted onsite next to the entrance by local residents and a local school prior to our ownership of the site).
Providing safe drinking water
TML initiated the Amrutdhara programme for providing safe drinking water across India. While addressing the concerns relating to safe drinking water, the programme also helps in improving health and fostering a climate of gender and social equality.
Contribution made
Rs.0.59 Crores
Impact created
25 litres of water made available per person per day. 1,01,454 beneficiaries and More than 40% beneficiaries belong to the SC/ST category
Nurturing a safe environment
We recognise that our manufacturing operations largely depend on natural resources, including water, energy and sand, among others. Moreover, our operations have a significant effect on the environment through emissions, effluents and solid waste.
At Tata Motors, we are trying to map, measure and manage our dependencies and impacts on the natural capital through numerous initiatives. We are managing our resource utilisation by optimising usage and minimising waste and at the same time, approaching ‘design thinking’ with ways to leverage ‘circular economy’.
TML
TML aspires to become water-neutral and water-positive (particularly in green water), having introduced rainwater harvesting and storage, water pooling and water recycling, among others, in its operations. The Company is also one of the signatories to RE100, a global collaboration that is working towards converting to 100% renewable electricity by 2030.
4,08,221 tCO2e Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from manufacturing operations in FY18
5,362.482 MT Hazardous waste generation in FY18
JLR
JLR intends to be a zero-waste company and is committed to reduce its dependence on plastic globally. The need to reduce tailpipe CO2 and NOx emissions, while minimising the carbon footprint of its business, remains another key objective. Additionally, the Company has transitioned to cleaner, sustainable sources of energy.
REALITY Recycled Aluminium through Innovative Technology, a £2 Million research project in partnership with Innovate UK, demonstrates JLR’s commitment to the practical application of sustainability. The learnings from REALITY will help JLR understand how it can use post-consumer aluminium in its vehicles, giving a high-value second life to a valuable natural resource.
