Never before has this famous line meant more. The roller coaster ride that the last two years took the global economy through, proved one fact – that a successful enterprise needs to have the resilience to withstand the highs and lows of a future that often comes unheralded. As a global enterprise, Tata Steel was not unaffected by the challenges of the last two years. Yet, the Company demonstrated resilience by taking several proactive initiatives across all geographies. A tough start to the year was balanced by a rebound in the second half, when these initiatives began to pay off. Undeterred by the economic turbulence, the Company continued to place emphasis on working practices in health, safety and corporate citizenship, with specific initiatives taken in all these areas. In addition, a continued focus on engineering solutions for customers, is helping it maintain its position of a product pioneer. Tata Steel believes in staying alert to future opportunities while never letting go of its core values. This is the philosophy that has underpinned its growth over the years and one that remains its key driving force. 001-011_Part01_TSAR10.indd 1 7/7/10 12:55:19 PM Inside the gas holder - part of the BOS gas recovery scheme at Port Talbot, UK.

  • Group CHRO, Tata Sons
    Tata Network Forums Global updates November 2017 S Padmanabhan Group CHRO, Tata Sons From the Desk of the Group CHRO, Tata Sons These are exciting times for the Tata group. Companies are increasingly coming together to leverage the Tata ecosystem to learn from each other, and deal with common issues. Tata Network Forums (TNFs) are increasingly playing an important role in enabling companies to come together and seek solutions to common issues. A case in point was the TNF MENA meeting which took place to address the diplomatic situation in the Gulf, when Arab nations cut off ties with Qatar. Tata companies came together at Dubai using the TNF MENA to understand the impact on their businesses and plan for mitigation measures. In the past six months, TNFs also enabled companies to seek knowledge and share best practices in various areas like Customer, HR, Ethics, Business Excellence, Digitisation, Communications, Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability. I must mention that the Tata Sustainability Group is increasingly utilising the TNF forum to spread its messages through the Tata Sustainability month celebrations and other workshops. Sustainability events featured in most TNFs across the world in the past two quarters. All these TNF events brought together many more Tata employees during these past few months, which is proof of the growing popularity of the TNFs. The reach and impact of TNF activities is gradually building, and I am sure that it will achieve greater heights in the coming times. As the Tata group celebrates its one-ness, TNFs will be able to connect many more employees and enable the proliferation of knowledge and best practices.
