Value Chain
Value chain

We believe that, to realise the true essence of sustainability, it needs to be integrated not only in our own operations but also across our value chain. We rely on a huge network of suppliers and dealers, and regularly engage with them on a wide range of sustainability issues pertaining to upstream and downstream supply chain activities.

A significant part of our supply chain comprises technology-driven energy-intensive suppliers. Continuous efforts are undertaken to increase energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, implement rain water harvesting and utilise more renewable energy.

SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAIN INITIATIVE
TML's Supplier and Dealer Codes of Conduct ensure ethical and sustainable practices across the value chain. TML has developed vendor parks at new manufacturing locations to ensure logistics emissions reduction and to enhance local employment.

TML initiated a systematic and phase-wise implementation of the Sustainable Supply Chain Initiative in FY17. It began by shortlisting its suppliers based on ESG criticality. It then developed sustainability guidelines, conducted capacity building workshops and on-site sustainability assessments of suppliers. Learnings were shared with all the suppliers and they were rewarded and recognised for demonstrating improvement in sustainability performance. As part of the initiative, TML covered a cumulative of 358 suppliers, 52 in FY17, 66 in FY18, 115 in FY19 and 125 in FY20.

DEALERS SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVE

Taking a step further, TML extended this initiative to its downstream channel partners and authorised service stations in FY19, to integrate sustainability into their business practices. TML developed sustainability guidelines and conducted capacity building workshops for dealers across different locations in India. The guidelines cover topics related to Tata Code of Conduct, management system certification, transparency and reporting, occupational health and safety, labour and human rights. TML has developed data templates and conducted sustainability site assessments of channel partners and authorised service stations.

TML's dealers are an interface between the Company and the customers. As a part of the Dealers Sustainability Initiative, TML is promoting safe driving practices and eco-driving habits among its channel partners, customers and fleet owners.

Close collaboration with its suppliers is vital to the success of JLR. It adopts a partnership approach with suppliers to maintain sustainable, resilient supply chains wherever it operates.

In the UK, with the help of its partners, JLR is building its Midlands Ecosystem and linking it to JLR's wider network of business supplier partners across the world.

JLR is working with the CDP (formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project) to look at supply chain impact. Understanding suppliers’ carbon emissions helps plan further cuts. As part of this endeavour, all of JLR's tier one suppliers embed sustainability into their operations and hold an environmental management system certified to ISO 14001 or equivalent.
