Tata Steel was established in 1907 in eastern India by Jamsetji Tata, a visionary industrialist who believed corporations should uplift society. For over 100 years, Tata Steel has implemented extensive corporate social responsibility programs in areas like employee welfare, community development, healthcare, education, and disaster relief. This tradition of social responsibility is rooted in the founding principles of Jamsetji Tata and continues to guide Tata Steel's operations.
