The Tata Steel Group has always believed that mutual benefit of countries, corporations and communities is the

most effective route to growth. Tata Steel has not limited its operations and businesses within India but has built an imposing presence around the globe as well. With the acquisition of Corus (now Tata Steel Europe) in 2007 leading to commencement of Tata Steel's European operations, the Company today is one of the largest steel producers in the world with employee strength of above 81,000 across five continents. During the financial year 2012-2013, the Group recorded deliveries of 24.13 million tonnes and a turnover of Rs.1, 34, 712 Crores. The Company has always had significant impact on the economic development in India and now seeks to strengthen its position of pre-eminence in international domain by continuing to lead by example of responsibility and trust.

Tata Steels overseas ventures and investments in global companies have helped the Company create a manufacturing and marketing network in Europe, South East Asia and the Pacific-rim countries. The Groups South East Asian operations comprise Tata Steel Thailand, in which it has 67.9% equity and Nat Steel Holdings, which is one of the largest steel producers in the Asia Pacific with presence across seven countries.

Given below is an outline of Tata Steel's operations in Europe and South East Asia.

Tata Steel Europe

The lineage of Corus can be traced back to the earliest days of steel production in the UK and The Netherlands. In 1988, the British Steel Corporation was privatised and 12 years later it merged with Koninklijke Hoogovens of The Netherlands to form Corus. With their very different but equally proud and long histories, Tata Steel and Corus had much in common in terms of business culture and global vision. Thus, the idea of collaborative growth through Tata Steel European operations was an approach particularly relevant in the global market today. At present, Tata Steel Europe supplies steel and related services to the construction, automotive, packaging, rail, energy and power, lifting and excavating and other demanding markets worldwide.

The values and principles, which have Governed Tata Steels business for a century, have been deployed through the implementation of the Tata Code of Conduct ( TCOC, often referred to as the 'Code' ), which was first formally articulated in 1998.

In 2008, in line with changing times and the globalisation of the Tata Group, the Code was updated in consultation with group companies around the world.
