company's articles (Clause
Number 10) for sustaining
CSR. Amendments were made
to the Articles of Association of
the major Tata group
companies in the 1970s. Newly
included was an article stating
that the "company shall be
mindful of its social and moral
responsibilities to consumers,
employees, shareholders,
society and the local
community. To institutionalize
the CSR charter, a clause on
this was put into the group's
'Code of Conduct.' This clause
states that group companies had
to actively assist in improving
quality of life in the
communities in which they
operated. All the group
companies were signatories to
this code. CSR was included as
one of the key business
processes in TISCO. It was one
of the eight key business
processes identified by
TISCO's management and
considered critical to the
success of the company
