Tata AutoComp goes Green

Plants 3000 trees

5 June 2009

Tata AutoComp Systems Limited (Tata AutoComp) planted over 3000 saplings on the occasion of World Environment Day. The initiative is in continuation of Tata AutoComp's move towards protecting the environment and combatting Global Warming. The company has so far already planted over 2000 trees during the current financial year. Tata AutoComp has taken several concrete measures towards sustainable future and has imbibed the agenda in the company's mission- 'Create a carbon neutral footprint'.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. R S Thakur, Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer, Tata AutoComp said, "We are conscious of our obligations to the environment and are committed to do our best to reduce the damage to our planet. We have, as part of our Mission Statement, taken upon ourselves the responsibility to create a Carbon Neutral Footprint. Events like tree plantation, energy conservation and enhancing machine efficiency are part of Tata AutoComp's strategy to fulfil this mission."

As a step towards energy conservation, Tata AutoComp has ensured that the company maximises utilisation of daylight, by changing its flexible office timings from 9:00 am- 7:30 pm to 8:00 am – 6:00 pm. In addition to this, air conditioners at Tata AutoComp are operated only between 11:00 am and 5:00 pm, thus reducing 4 hours on power consumption daily. The trees which are being planted by the employees will be nurtured by each of them individually. Tata AutoComp employees in their own individual capacity are living and implementing the company mission of environment protection by going green in their daily routine- Using recycled paper for print outs, making use of both sides of paper, car pooling and utilising recycled bottles for storage of drinking water at their workstations.
