CII recognises Tata BlueScope Steel for safety beliefs and practices
February 26, 2008

Tata BlueScope Steel is the youngest company to get the honour in the Western region

The Hinjewadi plant of Tata BlueScope Steel has been adjudged the first runner up for the prestigious Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) Awards 2007 (Western region). The award was presented to the company at a glittering ceremony held at Mumbai on February 26, 2008.

Instituted to acknowledge the vision and exemplary commitment, the CII SHE Award 2007 is given for concerted efforts in the areas of environmental responsibility, concern for occupational health and safety of employees and society as a whole. The accelerated growth of companies in the past decade has offered tremendous business opportunities. On the other hand, the industrialisation process has also led to several environmental and safety concerns. There is a conscientious effort by leaders to move from "bench marking" to "path breaking" levels in this area and achieve excellence. It is this commitment and spirit that the Leadership & Excellence Award in SHE acknowledges. It appreciates innovative practices and commitment to install high environmental consciousness among all employees and to acknowledge programmes and projects that promote sustainable development.

Tata BlueScope Steel is the youngest company to receive this award in the history of CII though the contenders were some of the best and well established companies in the western region. The winning of this award is proof of its commitment and continuous effort towards safety.
