TATA’s Green Revolution: A Pioneer in Corporate Solutions from Industry to Ecology for SDG-15 and Biodiversity Conservation
Vijayaprasath R., S. Asokan, Aslam Javeed M., G. Krishnakumar | International Journal of Geological and Geotechnical Engineering | Vol 11, Issue 01 | pp. 40-48 | ISSN: 2581-5598
Abstract
Abstract Population growth, coupled with industrial and colliery activities, is leading to habitat degradation and environmental deterioration, significantly impacting crucial eco-system services. In mining regions, like the Noamundi Iron ore and West Bokaro Colliery, these challenges are particularly evident as resource extraction activities can threaten local biodiversity. SDG-15, “Life on Land”, aims to preserve and improve ecosystems while preventing and reversing biodiversity loss and land degradation. In response to these challenges, TATA Steel has executed BMPs (Biodiversity Management Plans) across its operational sites, demonstrating corporate commitment to environmental stewardship. This article examines TATA Group’s business plans and their contribution to SDG-15 objectives, particularly focusing on their initiatives to restore natural habitats and maintain ecological balance in mining areas. Their comprehensive approach includes rehabilitation of mined lands, conservation of native species, and enhancement of biodiversity in their operational zones. The company’s efforts extend beyond mere compliance, encompassing long-term sustainability goals that align with global environmental standards. It is worth noting that individual initiatives can support multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through various interconnected efforts, creating a holistic approach to environmental conservation and sustainable development.
