We know that businesses can play a major role in protecting our planet. That is why Tata group companies actively endeavour to conserve at-risk species, and safeguard shrinking habitats and fragile ecosystems

Tata group companies are strongly driven by international benchmarks for sustainable practices in business. But a greater portion of what the group does in this sphere is by choice and conviction. From this flows its support for endeavours to conserve plant and animal species, improve land and water use, and protect forest tracts and green sanctuaries.

The group's contribution to conservation falls into two categories: the efforts of different Tata companies, big and small, to preserve and enrich the environment in and around their areas of operation, and the philanthropic thrust of the Tata Trusts, which support a diverse cluster of non-governmental organisations working in areas such as the management of natural resources, community development and livelihoods.

The 245-acre wetland habitat

Inside its 1,160-acre plant, in the highly urbanised Pimpri-Chinchwad industrial belt in Pune, Tata Motors has transformed a scrubby barren area into a natural wetland habitat that covers 245 acres. This green oasis in the middle of the city serves as a natural oxygen generator and a safe haven for migratory birds.
