Commitment to the Environment
“The Earth doesn’t need saving; it needs sustainable stewardship.”
Our promise to the environment
Together, let us answer the call to go green. We can protect the planet by making smart choices and giving back to our communities. Join our eco-party and let us promote a vibrant, verdant world At Tata Power, we strive to lead the way and shape the future with our environment-friendly technology and clean practices in energy management Our approach is to work closely with both policymakers and regulators to foster a culture of innovation, extend the reach of our renewable energy solutions, and roll out cost-effective demand-side management options well suited for timely consumer-responsive needs
Having led the charge in the world of power for a century, Tata Power is well poised to navigate through the challenges of sustainable development We believe in the power of collaboration, engaging actively with all constituents to make significant strides. With us, it goes beyond operations; we are committed to enriching lives, empowering communities, and sustaining the future for everyone associated with us
Biodiversity conservation
We are committed to no net loss of biodiversity before 2030
We are making significant efforts in this space to reduce our environmental footprint and promote biodiversity. Protecting wildlife and plant life is how we give back to nature while also raising awareness among our employees and the communities, where we’re nurturing nature at every turn. Our pledge is manifested as individual biodiversity action plans for the sites, all designed specifically based on ecological priorities and the appropriate actions needed. Throughout the journey, we partner with experts and collaborators who help to ensure our environmental efforts see their most significant impacts at ground level
Our focus areas
We are committed to upholding our vision that “sustainable is attainable.” Our goal? To preserve the planet, nurture our communities, and empower everyone with green energy solutions
Resource conservation
Habitat protection
Energy efficiency
Local community enrichment
Enhancing the well-being and prosperity of communities within our operational locations
Mapping the ecological landscape
In a significant step forward, we have carried out extensive assessments of biodiversity impacts at each of our thermal and hydro facilities, in addition to renewable energy sites adjacent to protected zones and areas of high ecological importance beyond these zones
Our biodiversity risk assessment framework
Exploring TNFD Framework through Pilot Testing
We seek to collaboratively develop a strong framework that is not just market-ready but purpose-built with our creative pilot assessment. Our future will be greener and more sustainable thanks to this project, which is expected to spark a wave of sustainable practices across industries
Insight gathering
By soliciting direct feedback from market participants, we can finetune the TNFD framework to guarantee that it is market-ready and well-suited for its intended use. This technique ensures that the framework is appropriately suited to real-world requirements
Capacity building
This initiative aims to improve our employees skills and knowledge to effectively fulfill emerging environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards. During pilot testing, insights will be adapted into meaningful use cases, contributing to the TNFD knowledge bank. This resource helps market participants comprehend and utilize TNFD standards, improving industry compliance and performance
Data analysis
We are committed to better understanding organizations problems when gathering accurate and robust data for comprehensive biodiversity risk assessments. Our pilot testing is meant to identify these data gaps and find effective solutions, providing more accurate and impactful evaluations
Framework refinement based on feedback
Provide input on the TNFD framework to help ensure the final framework can be improved and is suitable for its purpose
GIS mapping survey for forest improvement and carbon sequestration
In association with the Ela Foundation, we identified a comprehensive biodiversity survey and carbon sequestration analysis of Maharashtra hydroelectric regions through field research along with Geographic Information System (GIS) technology. Located next to the Northwestern biodiversity hotspot, this area boasts rich biodiversity. When we surveyed nine sites where Tata Power plants generate hydroelectricity, there were 395 large trees and 2,260 tall trees identified. The community and the local ecology will both benefit from these discoveries, which will guide future efforts to increase the area’s green cover and carbon sequestration
The Mundra Plant, in collaboration with Kutch University, conducted a Remote Sensing-Geographic Information System (RS-GIS) to develop a systematic intervention in the plant’s challenging 453.04 ha Greenbelt area. In collaboration with Kutch University, a Certified Greenbelt Map was created, aligning with SDG 13 (climate action). This initiative enhanced resource management, tree survival, fire management, and land use cover. With over 70 dry land species, it achieved an 80% increase in tree survival, reducing drudgery, manpower, and costs while building trust. The model adheres to CDM and the UNFCCC Paris Agreement and introduces an innovative plantation approach in the region
