Corporate Social Responsibility I Australia and New Zealand

Impact through empowerment

Impact through empowermentAt Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) we believe in creating positive social and environmental impact through the empowerment of individuals and communities. We aim to put our core business - technology - to use to address challenges in the communities in which we work.

Our people aspire to transfer their skills and expertise in technology to empower others to innovate and create positive social and environmental change.

“The core of Corporate Social Responsibility lies in determining the radius of responsibility that a business is willing to extend. If businesses see themselves as sustainable in the long run, then this radius will be greater. TCS values Corporate Social Responsibility not only for the immediate benefi ts that it may bring to business but also for its contribution towards strengthening the socio-economic fabric of communities across the world.”

“In a free enterprise, the community is not just another stakeholder in business, but is in fact the very purpose of its existence.”

Jamsetji Tata, Founder of the Tata Group, 1868

“We have a unique opportunity to grow and lead our industry to greater heights with a strong focus on our customers; a culture of innovation and collaboration; a platform for our employees to realise their potential and make a strong impact on society.”

N. Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons

Business for social goodCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is embedded in the ownership structure of the Tata Group.

The distinctive structure of the Tata group is attributed to the philosophy of the founder Jamsetji Tata. 66% of the equity in Tata and Sons (the majority shareholder, 74% in Tata Consultancy Services) is held by the Tata Trusts.

Our commitment to global leadership for CSR demonstrated through in our support for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, membership of the United Nations Global Compact (and local UNGC Network Australia) and support for the Global Reporting Index (GRI). TCS releases an annual sustainability report using the GRI framework.

Leveraging core business for social changeAs a world-leading technology company, we have leveraged our core business, and the skills and expertise of our technology professionals, to create a positive impact on STEM in Australia.

The shortfall in Australian STEM disciplines is well documented. Left unchanged it will negatively impact the Australian economy and livelihoods of Australians.

At TCS we aspire to play our part in increasing the number of students studying STEM and increasing gender diversity in the technology industry.

It is projected that 75% of Australia’s fastest growing occupations will be in STEM1 with an additional 100,000 IT professionals needed by 20202. But with the low take up of STEM by students the pipeline does not exist to support this growth.

In OECD countries fewer than 1 in 20 girls considers a career in STEM compared to 1 in 5 boys3. Women make up fewer than a third of Australia’s STEM-qualifi ed workforce4. The under-representation of women in STEM compounds the pipeline challenge.

Case study: Inspiring girls to pursue careers in technologyThe TCS GoIT Girls program aims to inspire young women to pursue careers in technology. Initiated in 2014, the week-long program enables 100 young women to learn from role models, sharpen their coding and technical skills, develop skills for employment and challenge their perceptions of technology and occupational gender stereotypes.

“The GoIT Girls Work Experience Program helps to inspire female students to consider roles and careers that perhaps that didn’t know existed or thought that they were capable of. On the surface the program may appear to be a regular Work Experience placement, but it is so much more.”

Teacher, Melbourne, March 2016

““The GoIT Girls program was incredibly inspiring. I have understood the opportunities in the IT industry and am now considering a career in that fi eld. It was also absolutely fantastic to meet other girls from diff erent schools who were also interested in IT.”

Empowering communities with technologyTechnology can transform lives and communities. Empowering the not-for-profi t sector with world leading technology solutions can build their organisational capability and capacity to create greater social and environmental impact.

Case study: In 2015, TCS formed partnerships with six not-for-profi t organisations to deliver transformative IT services with a combined value of $1 million. In 2017, we have doubled our commitment and partnered with twelve not-for-profi t organisations to deliver innovative projects.

“Australian non-profi t associations, charities and social enterprises continue to lag in the adoption of information and communications technologies. This has led to a substantial sector of the Australian society and economy failing to benefi t from the productivity growth aff orded by technology.”

The Australian Productivity Commission report Contribution of the not-for-profi t Sector, 2010

“Technology can play an enormous role in helping to address health, social, and environmental challenges. Enabling not-for-profi t to leverage our global IT expertise will make a tangible and measurable diff erence to these organisations, their clients and the Australian community.”
