Leadership Perspective

“Sustainability is at the heart of our strategic framework,” noted Mr. Sunil D’Souza, MD & CEO of Tata Consumer Products. “Our ‘For Better Living’ roadmap echoes the Tata Group’s Project Aalingana and resonates with global ESG benchmarks. Achieving carbon neutrality in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, reaching 72% recyclable packaging, and expanding our community impact are milestones we’re proud of. A 15% improvement in our Sustainalytics ESG Risk Rating reaffirms that we are on the right track.”
