The foundation of what would grow to become the Tata Group was laid in 1868 by

Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata. The Tata group has a global enterprise headquartered in
India, and comprises over 100 operating companies, with operations in more than
100 countries across six continents, exporting products and services to over 150
countries.
The revenue of Tata companies, taken together, was $103.27 billion (around
Rs624,757 crore) in 2013-14, with 67.2 percent of this coming from businesses
outside India. Tata companies employ over 581,470 people worldwide.
Each Tata company or enterprise operates independently and has its own board of
directors and shareholders, Tata companies with significant scale include Tata Steel,
Tata Motors, Tata Consultancy Services , Tata Power, Tata Chemicals, Tata Global
Beverages, Tata Teleservices, Titan, Tata Communications and Indian Hotels.

Following Jamsetji Tatas death, in Germany in 1904, the chairmanship of the Tata Group passed
to the elder of his two sons, Sir Dorab Tata, who accomplished the daunting task of turning his
fathers extraordinary ideas into reality.

Tata Motors concern is manifested by a dual approach

2. Restoration of ecological balance.

Tata's New Mantra: Go Green

Our endeavours towards environment protection are soil and water conservation programmes
and extensive tree plantation drives. Tata Motors is committed to restoring and preserving
environmental balance, by reducing waste and pollutants, conserving resources and recycling
materials.

If globalisation was the driving factor for Tata Group in the last decade, going green may well be
the buzzword for the present one. From being on the fringe, the green movement is gaining
momentum within the group.
With everyone advocating the Go Green theme, and a bid for a cleaner and more
environmentally friendly situation, Tata Motors have announced their intentions to revamp their
dealerships and service centers. Their dealer outlets and workshops will be given a makeover
and this will ensure a more environment friendly atmosphere. Tata Motors have 1240 dealers and
authorized workshops which have been categorized into three sections according to regions.
Tata Motors was in the process of availing facilities for wind and solar energy, rain water
harvesting and recycling of waste water.
Detailed monitoring of carbon footprint of all dealers and service centres across India would be
maintained in a similar fashion as the company is monitoring the carbon footprint of their
manufacturing units.
Tata Motors is setting up an eco-friendly showroom using natural building material
for its flooring and energy-efficient lights. Tata Motors said the project is at a
preliminary stage.
