A month-long Ethics month was kicked-off at Steelenium Hall inside Tata Steel works today commemorating the values of integrity, unity, excellence, understanding and responsibility, hallmark of the Tata group and its former Chairman, JRD Tata.
The celebration will focus on the theme 'Fostering Trust through Transparency' this year, a company press release said adding the Corporate Ethics department, Tata Steel has lined up a series of events such as Poster competition, Skit, Quiz, Debate, Round Table Discussions etc for the month of July.
These events will not only encourage participation of the employees and the community at large, but will also help to reinforce the Tata values among its employees.
Speaking as Chief Guest on the occasion, Anand Sen, President, TQM & Steel Business, Tata Steel, shared his views on 'ethics beyond the next horizon', saying 'Ethics is a matter of pride for all of us'.
The trust or credibility that an organisation or its individuals have without explaining every step of the way as one goes along is according to me the first sign of ethics. The most fundamental aspect in ethics is to do what one has promised to do, Sen said.
The opening ceremony was marked by the launch of the Ethics mascot - a fisted hand, wherein each of its folded fingers symbolise the five core values - integrity, unity, excellence, understanding and responsibility.
