Sustainability Report 2015-16, pg 27

"Responsible Supply Chain Management: Policy displays the Company's commitment towards sustainable supply chain operations and emphasises to all its stakeholders that it would be prudent to follow the RSCM policy to have mutual success. The sustainable supply chain guidelines are cascaded to all the stakeholders in the supply chain. The Company shares with its suppliers/contractors documents like Tata Code of Conduct, Environment Policy, RSCM, Sustainability Policy and Contractors Safety Code of Conduct that form an integral part of the Enquiry Documents (RFQ/RFP) for making them aware of Tata Power’s commitments towards its adjacent community and stakeholders at large. This is comprehensively integrated at the time of contract award by making it a part of each Purchase/Work Order. The Company has also revised its vendor impanelment guidelines to screen the suppliers on safety and environmental performance parameters, in addition to existing commercial criteria through the ERP platform. The company also took up few supplier development initiatives under the affirmative action, such as:

1.Promoted 240 community entrepreneurship ventures like fly ash brick making, poultry farming, garment manufacturing, etc.

2. Outsourced `17.65 crore of products and services from 36 vendors/contractors."
