Tata Steel acquires responsible sourcing standard for its UK construction products

Date: 11-09-2014

Tata Steel has become the largest company to acquire the BRE responsible sourcing standard BES 6001 for its UK construction products. All the company’s construction products manufactured in the UK are now certified ‘Very Good’ under the British standard, including its Advance steel sections, Celsius structural hollow sections, ComFlor and RoofDek structural decking, Trisomet and Trimapanel composite panels systems and Catnic building products. The company’s Colorcoat branded product is already certified to the standard.

The UK Government will soon require all the construction projects it funds to use BES 6001-certified products. As a result sustainability-minded main contractors, architects and engineering designers are already asking their supply chains to verify where their products are sourced and to demonstrate how they are ensuring that the products they use have been produced in as sustainable a way as possible.

Tata Steel, the flagship company of the Tata group is the first integrated steel plant in Asia and is now the world’s second most geographically diversified steel producer and a Fortune 500 Company.
