SUSTAINABILITY AT TATA POWER A Century of Invisible Goodness COP 21- What it really means? COP 21 culminated into the landmark adoption of Paris Agreement as 195 governments agreed to the world’s first universal climate deal. It has been hailed as historic, transformative, and momentous, as it supersedes the Kyoto Protocol, with countries pledging to hold global temperatures to a maximum rise of 1.50C above pre- industrial level, staving off the worst effects of catastrophic global warming. Countries agreed to peak greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as soon as possible and to achieve carbon neutrality between 2050 and 2100. This means limiting emissions to the level that can be naturally absorbed by forests, oceans and soil. It also includes raising $100bn a year by 2020 to help poor countries adapt their economies, accept a new goal of zero net emissions by later this century, accelerated phase-out of fossil fuels, growth of renewable energy streams and powerful new carbon markets to enable countries to trade emissions and protect forests.

The objective of this scheme is to provide an exclusive environment to colleagues identified under the scheme, by way of growth, development and focus, in order to further their depth of expertise and leverage their skills for the organisation.As of now, Specialist Career Path has been introduced in the Clean Technology & Applied Research Department, on a pilot basis, tofoster domain expertise. The Specialist Career Path will be reviewed after a year, on the progress, and suitable decisions will be takenon further rollout. Under the aegis of Srijan - the biggest employee policy co-creation initiative at Tata Power, responses for Promotion Policy were announced in October 2015. Clusters VI & VII were launched in December 2015. All HR policies are grouped into 9 clusters, based on which focused group discussions with employees are organised across company locations. These discussions lead to views and ideas shared by employees on success, failure and improvement of certain aspects of these policies, which are thereby captured and presented to the top management. Employees subsequently receive communication on progress of any action points that arise out of these discussions. The eighth edition of Tata Power’s fast track career programme - ACE was launched by Mr. Chetan Tolia, CHRO in November 2015. ACE aims at identifying young managers and grooming them to take on leadership roles at an early age, thus maximising their contribution to the organisation. The programme has a rigorous selection process running across four phases, which includes Online Aptitude Test (Phase-I), Assessment Centre (Phase-II), Business Case presentation & Behavioural Interview (Phase-III) and Interview with Top Management (MD, ED, CFO) (Phase-IV). Like the previous year, theprocess was opened up to all group companies this year. Phase-I was conducted in December 2015. The other Phases have beenscheduled between January and March 2016.
