Jamsetji Tata
The Founder of the Tata group began with a textile mill in central India in the 1870s. His vision
inspired the steel and power industries in India, set the foundation for technical education, and
helped the country leapfrog into the ranks of industrialised nations
Jamsetji Tata was more than just the entrepreneur who helped India take her place in the league
of industrialised nations. He was a patriot and a humanist whose ideals and vision shaped an
exceptional business conglomerate.
Tata Group (/ˈtɑːtɑː/) is an Indian multinational conglomerate holding company headquartered
in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. Founded in 1868 by Jamsetji Tata, the company gained
international recognition after purchasing several global companies. One of India's largest
conglomerates, Tata Group is owned by Tata Sons.[3][4]
Each Tata company operates independently under the guidance and supervision of its own board of
directors and shareholders. Significant Tata companies and subsidiaries include Tata Steel, Tata Motors,
Jaguar Land Rover, Tata Consultancy Services, Tata Advanced Systems Limited, Tata Power, Tata
Chemicals, Tata Global Beverages, Tata Coffee, Tata Teleservices, Titan, Voltas, Tata Cliq, Tata
Communications, and The Indian Hotels Company Limited (Taj Hotels).
This comprehensive document serves as the ethical road
map for Tata employees and companies, and provides the
guidelines by which the group conducts its businesses.
Tata companies have consistently adhered to the values and ideals articulated by the Founder for
over 150 years. The Tata Code of Conduct was first formalized by Mr Ratan Tata. It articulates
the Group's values and ideals that guide and govern the conduct of our companies as well as our
colleagues in all matters relating to business. Today, the Code is a bedrock on which we base our
individual, as well as leadership commitments to core Tata values.
The Tata Code of Conduct outlines our commitment to each of our stakeholders, including the
communities in which we operate, and is our guiding light when we are sometimes faced with
business dilemmas that leave us at ethical crossroads. The Code is also dynamic in that it has
been periodically refreshed in order to remain contemporary and contextual to the changes in law
and regulations. However it remains unaltered at its core.
Our stellar reputation and success as a business entity has been defined by the powerful
commitment and adherence to the core values and principles expressed in this Code, by all our
employees, directors and partners. I trust every Tata colleague and Tata company will continue
to not only comply with the laws and regulations that govern our business interests around the
world, but will continue to set new standards of ethical conduct that will generate deep respect
and inspire emulation by others.
