Tata Steel believes that the loyalty and commitment of its employees depend upon the quality of life they are offered at home.

We recognize that indiscriminate use of alcohol and drugs is injurious to well being of individuals their families and the community as whole. We acknowledge that the misuse of these psychoactive substances is a major health and safety hazard. Tata Steel is therefore committed to creating an alcohol and drug-free environment at the work place. This would be achieved through the involvement of all employees and the Joint Department councils in spearheading appropriate Initiatives. The Initiatives would include:

• Raising awareness, through the dissemination of information education and training and by promoting healthy life styles among our are employees and their families.

• Motivating those employees who have an alcohol/drug problem, to seek assistance, while maintaining confidentially about such cases.
