Corporate social responsibility

The group's CSR activities are rooted in the knowledge that businesses have a duty
to enable all living beings to get a fair share of the planet's resources.

Businesses are powerful constituents of society and the most successful, respected,
and desirable businesses exist to do much more than make money; they exist to use
the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. The Tata culture
of giving back flows from the tradition of nation and community building sowed more
than a century back by Jamsetji Tata, the Founder of the group. Tata companies are
involved in a wide variety of community development and environment preservation
projects. The Tata group's social activities relate to health, primary education,
skills training and entrepreneurship, livelihoods, women empowerment and
strengthening services for the differently-abled.

Tata companies work towards empowering people by helping them develop the skills
they need to succeed in a global economy, which is now consolidated into a group
CSR programme called Tata STRIVE. The group equips communities with information,
technology and the capacity to achieve improved health, education and livelihood
outcomes. It also works towards enabling other living things on the planet get
their fair share of the resources.

Tata Group History

The foundation of the TATA group was laid by Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata in 1868,
exactly 100 years before TCS was founded.

In 1938, JRD Tata was appointed as the chairman who led the TATA Group for next 53
years. During his time, TATA Group expanded regularly into new spheres of business.
The more prominent of these ventures were Tata Chemicals, Tata Motors, Tata
Industries, Voltas, Tata Tea, Tata Consultancy Services and Titan Industries.

In early ninety (1991), Ratan Tata took over as chairman of the TATA Group. Under
his stewardship, Tata tea acquired Tetley, Tata Motors acquired Jaguar Land Rover
and Tata Steel acquired Corus, which have turned the TATA Group from a largely
India-centric company into global business. Ratan Tata retired from all executive
responsibility in the TATA Group in December 2012 and he is succeeded by Cyrus
Mistry. The present chairman is N Chandrasekharan, and he took over the
chairmanship in February 2017.
