Ans. (A) Ethical lessons by TATA Steel –
 Tata Steel Tata Steel is the second largest steel producer in Europe and has its main steelmaking plantsin
the UK and Holland.It suppliessteel and related services to major industries such as construction,vehicle
production and packaging.Business ethics means ‘taking the right course’. Acting ethically takes into
account all the factors of doing business.These include production,business processes and the company’s
behaviorwith its customers and the communities in which it operates.It is about doing the right thing in
everything the company does. Tata Steel has five core values which define the ethics of the company:
integrity,understanding,excellence,unity and responsibility.These values are evident in everything that it
does and drive the ethical behaviorof the company. For Tata Steel, taking responsibility for tackling the
challengesof sustainability followsnaturally from this ethical stance.The Tata Steel definition of
sustainability is‘an enduring and balanced approach to economic activity,environmental responsibility
and societal benefit’. Sustainability is about meeting the challenges of ensuring that future generationscan
enjoy the same kind of lifestyle people enjoy today.
 A commitment to ethical behaviorisoften shown in the corporate social responsibility (CSR) policy of a
business. Businesses are no longerjudged solely on their ability to deliver goods and services but also on
the manner of delivery and how they impact on society and the environment.Its approach to CSR ensures
that Tata Steel can tackle the relevant sustainability challenges and in particular satisfy all its relevant
stakeholders.Through saving energy and waste, Tata Steel can work more efficiently and reduce costs.
Acting responsibly also benefitsits reputation.This enhances the image of Tata Steel as an environmentally
committed and responsible business, giving good PR in a competitive world market.
 Steel is one of the best materials to use to ensure sustainability.Steel is a unique material because it is truly
recyclable – when steel is recycled it becomes new steel and not an inferior product.It can be re-used over
and over again.Steel is the most recycled material on Earth. The impact of making steel can be viewed as
an investment in a material which will be used again and again,rather than a one-off, making steel a very
‘green’ material.Sustainability isabout much more than CO2, but one of the major challenges of
sustainability isto reduce CO2 emissions which may contribute to climate change.Tata Steel is working to
reduce these emissions using new technology and practices.
