Our company’s vision is to be a clean, green, and circular steel company that is sustainable in every sense.
In the procurement department we compassionately contribute to that vision in every sense. To meet these goals, our dedicated, professional and innovative category teams works closely with operations across the company and suppliers in the categories Process Materials, General Services, Maintenance Services and Goods, Energy and Capex. The teams also collaborate with a central purchasing team for raw materials, shipping and IT. In the areas of New Energy, Scrap and Capex, our teams work closely together with our Heracless-Green Steel department and thereby deliver an essential contribution to our transition towards a green steel production.
Through our procurement processes, we are focussed on creating value for our customers and shareholders. At the same time, we believe that by working closely with our suppliers and utilizing innovative procurement strategies, we can achieve our objectives and help create a more sustainable future for all.
Committed to following principles of fair practices and business ethics, Tata Steel has adopted the Tata Code of Conduct which lays down the principles and standards to govern the actions of the Company and the employees.
Tata Steel seeks to work with contractors, suppliers and third parties who adhere to the Tata Steel Code of Conduct and standards derived therefrom. For the practical application of the Tata Steel Code of Conduct and applicable standards a number of relevant policies and standards have been formulated and implemented. These documents can be download from the document section.
In addition to our own internal processes and reviews, suppliers and employees are encouraged to use our Confidential Reporting system, Integrity Line, to report any concerns they may have. Integrity Line is an independently run service which allows both employees and suppliers to report confidentially (and anonymously if they prefer) any concerns they have about compliance, unethical behaviour, breach of HR policy, breach of health and safety rules and other aspects of how we operate. We encourage anyone to report in good faith any issues or concerns. Any reported concerns are investigated thoroughly; the number of confidential helpline calls received is monitored and reported to the Audit Committee of Tata Steel.
