Ethics

We believe in upholding the highest ethical standards in line with the Tata Group’s philosophy. Our business conduct is guided by the tenets of the Tata Code of Conduct (TCoC), and our employees and associates are expected to be aligned to the Code in letter and spirit so as to preserve our legacy, protect the group reputation and continuously earn the TRUST of our stakeholders.

We have an Ethics Council comprising a Chief Ethics Counsellor, Locational Ethics Counsellors in our key geographies as well as Lady Ethics Counsellors at various locations who address the requirements of women employees globally. Ethics Council members can be freely accessed by anyone who wishes to raise a concern. To facilitate the process, concern boxes are placed at various locations.
