Through the early membership, Tata Steel will be supporting further development of ResponsibleSteel standards used to guide the sector’s future actions.
“As part of the Tata Steel family, this membership gives our customers even greater confidence they are buying their products from a company which is committed to responsible business practices,” said Tata Steel Europe CEO, Henrik Adam.
“That is important because it is increasingly what consumers are quite rightly expecting of them. ResponsibleSteel also provides us with a framework through which we will achieve our mission to build the leading European steel business that is sustainable in every sense.
“At Tata Steel we believe global sustainable development goals are best achieved through leadership, transparency and collaboration across the value chain. The multi-stakeholder platform that ResponsibleSteel offers, including members from the whole value chain is excellently positioned for such collaboration.

By GlobalData“Membership of ResponsibleSteel builds on and is complementary to Tata Steel’s existing international responsible sourcing framework, BES6001 certification that covers our full automotive product portfolio.”
For his part, head of Automotive Marketing at Tata Steel, Sander Heinhuis added: “The automotive supply chain contains some of the biggest and most valuable global brands and it is society’s expectation we take a lead in sustainability and supply chain responsibility.
“Through membership of ResponsibleSteel, I believe Tata Steel not only demonstrates real leadership and commitment, but also the ability and expertise to work in multi-stakeholder partnerships to bring about real global change.”
The announcement comes after Tata Steel outlined its future strategy earlier this year.
In the short, medium and long-term, Tata Steel is focussing on three key pillars, namely: Electrification, autonomous driving and shared use; Digitalisation and service offering; and Sustainability.
