For the fourth time in eight years, Tata Steel has been recognised by the World Steel Association (worldsteel) for its efforts to develop life cycle assessment (LCA) tools and methodology.
Commenting on the ‘Excellence in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)’ award, Peter Hodgson, Manager, Sustainability Policy & Assessment said: “I am delighted the team has been recognised with a Steelie Award once again. The UK team plays a leading role on behalf of the entire Tata Steel Group, and the sector, in establishing and promoting LCA methods that are robust, fair and incentivise positive environmental outcomes.
The UK-based Sustainability Policy & Assessment team behind this achievement sought to engage in and lead the debate with influential stakeholders through several key industry and academic platforms, helping to set future rules, standards and guidelines for product carbon foot-printing and much more.
Tata Steel Limited was also recognised for delivering demonstrable improvements in safety and health.
Tata Steel UK’s very own SteelCast podcast was also recognised in the ‘Excellence in Communications’ category.
Congratulations to all those who made the shortlist, and to all the category winners.
