Tata Motors Limited Supplier Expectations

Establishment and implementation of supply chain due diligence procedures

TML requires its suppliers to engage in due diligence of their supply chains in accordance with an internationally recognized framework, such as the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas.

Encouragement of material sourcing from certified conflict-free smelters

TML requires its suppliers to understand and report the source of the materials constituting their parts supplied to TML. Further, TML encourages its suppliers to source responsibly with certified conflict-free smelters, wherever possible, to increase TML’s level of confidence that the parts in its vehicles are sourced responsibly.

Effort to trace the exact origin of conflict minerals

Suppliers currently sourcing minerals with suspected links to the covered countries may continue to do so as long as they continue to exhibit efforts to trace the exact origin of Conflict Minerals used in the components supplied to TML.

Elimination of commercial procurement of products containing conflict minerals from covered countries

Elimination of procurement, as and when commercially practical, of products containing Conflict Minerals obtained from sources that fund or support armed conflict in the covered countries.
