7Es of TATA Metaliks CSR initiatives

FOR A GREENER TOMORROW

To ensure consistent growth and development of the Affirmative Action community around its areas of operation, Tata Metaliks adopts the 7E's approach through its Affirmative Action program. The Company carries out AA initiatives in the areas of -

  • Education
  • Essential Enablers
  • Employment
  • Employability
  • Empowerment
  • Environment
  • Entrepreneurship

Each of these areas is led by a nominated senior executive with support from employees from various functions, which ensures focused implementation of all the initiatives. The respective leaders are empowered to formulate and implement AA plans based on the approved AA policy.

Our societal commitment does not rest on impact-based initiatives alone. However, it dovetails the community needs considering environmental aspects with the organizational involvement, adding value to all initiatives.
