At the non-plant locations, CS is driven by the CS teams, which comprises mainly core
volunteers. The modus operandi to carry out CS activities at these locations is through
partnering with the non-governmental sector.
Industry Partnerships
Tata Motors partners in the efforts of various industry forums like the CII, BCCI, SIAM and
TERI. In the year 2006-07, Tata Motors has took the first steps towards assessing the "As is" status of the affirmative actions that the company has taken so far for improving the
condition of the disadvantaged, particularly the Scheduled Caste and the Scheduled Tribe
populations (Report Attached as Annexure II). While grappling with the issue of
withstanding the threat of reservations being introduced in the private sector, the
company commits itself to better the present status of the SC/ST populations by taking
measures to improve their educational status, enhance employability and create
entrepreneurs through mentoring and promoting leadership amongst the SC/ST
community.
Representatives from Tata Motors also participated in various conferences and seminars
organised by BCCI, TERI and SIAM and contributed positively to the discussions regarding
sustainability and industry's role in preserving the triple bottom line of people, planet and
profit.
Aid to NGOs
The Donations Committee reviewed several applications from NGOs and institutions and
after determining their need and merit, approved donations. A sum of Rs. 1.17 million was
disbursed in the last year towards donation of Tata vehicles to organisations (list attached
as Annexure I) working in the field of health, education and road safety. Donations in kind
to the organisations help the company to forge relationships with the social sector by
playing an important role in sustaining the work of such organisations. Partnerships across
the nation with these organisations help the company to reach out to a larger community
base unbound by limitations of geography and outreach ability. |
