“<strong>Green</strong>ing for Future”<br />
- TCS approach for<br />
Metals and Mining Industry<br />
Metals & Mining industry (M&M) contributes approximately<br />
4-5% of the total world’s greenhouse gas emissions (GHG),<br />
thus, making the demand for greening more pronounced.<br />
Unlike Information technology (IT) industries, M&M<br />
industries do not have a significant contribution from their<br />
datacenters (GHG emissions from IT equipments is<br />
negligible) but a whopping 70-90% of the emission comes<br />
from the manufacturing processes, for example, in Steel<br />
Industry majority of GHG emission is from the Iron Making<br />
process.<br />
Taking this into consideration, there is a need for a<br />
proactively different approach to help address their<br />
requirements on - carbon accounting, environmental and<br />
regulatory compliance, identification of cost reduction<br />
initiatives or Clean development Mechanism (CDM) and<br />
build intelligence in all aspects of operations.<br />
<strong>Tata</strong> <strong>Consultancy</strong> <strong>Services</strong>', (TCS) has designed and<br />
developed a comprehensive solution – “<strong>Green</strong>ing for<br />
Future” approach that caters to these specific needs of M&M<br />
industries. This approach focuses on building carbon<br />
footprints of all GHG emissions across the entire mining and<br />
metal producing value chain which will help build better<br />
internal control, make reporting easier, accurate and timely,<br />
thus, enabling the organizations to achieve their business<br />
goals.

<strong>Green</strong>ing for Future - TCS approach for Metals and Mining Industry
Introduction<br />
The demand for greening of business practices has reached a tipping point. Each day we come across a new<br />
development, a corporate commitment, a technological breakthrough, a new partnership addressing<br />
environmental challenges, or a new finding from various agencies, labs or research groups about the progress being<br />
made. Amid the multitude developments there is progress, but it’s not always obvious or straightforward.<br />
Organizations are getting cleaner and more efficient, but only incrementally. Many of the gains are offset by the<br />
ever-growing economy. The greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per dollar of economic activity may be dropping but<br />
the growing economy means that these emissions are largely unchanged. Moreover, there does exists a huge gap in<br />
the controls and measures which have been built in developed economies against those in developing economies.<br />
Mining and Metal Industry contributes to approximately 4-5% of the total world GHG emissions. Technological<br />
advancements in the industry over the past 25 years have enabled substantial reductions in CO2 emissions. Work is<br />
continuously on to build technologies that would radically reduce emissions and take the organizations to lower<br />
levels of GHG output.<br />
In this white paper, we will explain how TCS can help Mining and Metal Industry re-invent itself and act as a catalyst to<br />
achieve its vision of <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Manufacturing</strong> using strategic lever of IT coupled with a strong understanding of the<br />
business which focuses on three main areas –<br />
- <strong>Green</strong> Intelligence<br />
- <strong>Green</strong> Transportation and logistics, and<br />
- <strong>Green</strong> IT Consulting<br />
<strong>Green</strong> Business Drivers – IT View<br />
The change in attitude towards the environment among businesses is, no doubt, motivated in part by the same<br />
ethical concerns that preoccupy individuals. Yet it is also driven by a hard, practical reality. For organizations, the<br />
environmental impact of their activities represents a serious – and in some cases a massive risk. Environmental risk is<br />
viewed today in the same way as any other kind of risk. This has led to changes in the way businesses operate which<br />
makes it imperative for us to understand the key business drivers for the changed perception about environmental<br />
impact (Fig -1).<br />
<strong>Green</strong> Business Drivers<br />
A Profound Environment and Economic Change is Gathering Pace<br />
The drivers for <strong>Green</strong> initiatives<br />

<strong>Green</strong> <strong>Manufacturing</strong> - Current Challenges<br />
There is no denying of the fact that a greener company, with greener products and services, is more desirable to a<br />
growing segment of consumers and business customers. Because of the prominence of global warming concerns,<br />
going green has become part of any Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) agenda to enhance customer and public<br />
perception. Some companies are led by “true believers” who simply want to do the right thing for the environment.<br />
To give prominence to the greening need, regulators in European Union (EU), United States (US), and elsewhere are<br />
aggressively monitoring this aspect of metal products and its related operations. This focuses on toxic materials<br />
used in building computing gear, disposal of electronic equipment, and emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse<br />
gases caused by energy / power consumption and other sources. Organizations have started believing that<br />
greening is not cost but it is a way of doing sustainable business – and this systematic thought has the potential to<br />
offer substantial cost reduction and in the process enhance the company’s competitive advantage.<br />
Global mining and metal production has been growing for the last 50 years. The steel industry, in particular, has<br />
grown to a production level of 1440 million mt in 2008 from a level of 200 million mt in 1950. The future growth in<br />
demand for steel will be driven mainly by the needs of the developing world which implies that the steel industry<br />
must continue to grow world wide by 3-5% and by 8-10% in China, India and Russia to satisfy these needs. The same<br />
logic also applies to other metal industries. But with this growth comes the increase in significant amount of GHG<br />
emissions.<br />
Unlike IT industries, metal industries do not have significant spend on datacenters, but their manufacturing process<br />
itself emits huge amount of GHG emissions. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),<br />
the steel industry accounts for between 4-5% of total world greenhouse gas emissions. On average, 1.7 tonnes of<br />
carbon dioxide are emitted for every tonne of steel produced. Another important aspect of metal industry is that<br />
approximately 90% of the emissions in the steel industry comes from Iron Making and about 60 - 70% of the<br />
emission in Aluminium industry comes from smelting operations, whereas the same from IT equipments is<br />
negligible.<br />
Approach to <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Manufacturing</strong><br />
In M&M Industries, the journey to climate neutrality is not a straight line, but a cycle, a matter of slimming down the<br />
GHGs that are within our responsibility and offsetting the remainder. Secondly, <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Manufacturing</strong> in Metal<br />
Industry is not only about datacenters but about GHG emissions across the entire metal producing value chain.<br />
Therefore, TCS defines its <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Manufacturing</strong> capability under three dimensions – <strong>Green</strong> Intelligence, <strong>Green</strong><br />
Transportation and Logisctis and <strong>Green</strong> IT Consulting.I It collectively attempts to cover the entire value chain with<br />
focus on how to make it green and lean using the Supply Chain Organisation’s (SCOR) model . This helps us to<br />
identify and minimize the “bad inputs and outputs” and maximize on the “Good outputs” (Fig -2 )<br />

�<strong>Green</strong> Intelligence – It facilitates carbon accounting across the metal producing value chain using green<br />
intelligence, which helps to capture this information and use it for better control and future development of<br />
Clean Development Mechanisms (CDM) Projects. The Carbon Emissions Management System (CEMS)<br />
framework developed in house helps to standardize and improve processes, provide single platform to manage<br />
environmental compliance, consistently supply emission data for carbon credits trading, and strategically link<br />
carbon accounting into company’s risk management framework. <strong>Green</strong> Transportation and Logistics – In the<br />
M&M industry, bulk of material is transported either through road, rail or sea. TCS <strong>Green</strong> Consultants help to<br />
make these operations greener and leaner by better scheduling and utilization of the fleet of mobile<br />
equipments leading to recurring savings which are then re-invested in maintaining the upkeep of the<br />
equipments.<br />
�<strong>Green</strong> IT Consulting – It looks after greening efforts focused at IT operations where TCS <strong>Green</strong> IT consultants<br />
helps customers align their IT vision and strategy with their business and sustainability goals to achieve superior<br />
performance. By improving the IT infrastructure and capabilities that affect people and processes across the<br />
organization, we can help our clients use IT to reduce their carbon footprint while increasing efficiency and<br />
productivity. The result is immediate environmental and business benefits, reduced costs and maximized value<br />
of our client’s IT spends.<br />

<strong>Green</strong> Intelligence<br />
<strong>Green</strong> Intelligence facilitates carbon accounting across the metal producing value chain which helps to capture this<br />
information and use it for better control and future development. The ‘Carbon Emission Management System’<br />
(CEMS) framework helps to understand various <strong>Green</strong>ing opportunities starting from input raw material, utilization<br />
of energy, air or water to the final product. It also cuts through various by-products, waste generated during the<br />
process. All these steps together help to understand the key industry GHG drivers (Fig – 3).<br />

Additionally, real-time data is captured for all GHG contributing process parameters – such as in a Steel Industry GHG<br />
is captured for iron making (blast furnace, coke making, sinter making), steel making, hot rolling and cold rolling. The<br />
rigor of the TCS data capturing can be assessed from the fact that data is captured from micro level<br />
process/equipment/PLCs/shop-floor systems of the manufacturing process, for example, in case of blast furnace,<br />
data is captured from direct production process, flaring of gases, electricity and fuel consumed and other such parts<br />
of the process. These are further drilled down to micro level sources. Once the data sources from micro to macro level<br />
are systematically established, TCS helps create real-time role-based visibility of GHG emission drivers.<br />
The screen shots given below(Fig 4-6) show how we can view this information at various levels of the enterprise and<br />
help track the relevant Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). This enables the key stakeholders to monitor progress,<br />
identify opportunities and take decisions .<br />

<strong>Green</strong>ing for Future - TCS approach for Metals and Mining Industry<br />
In a scenario of rising energy and fuel costs and tougher regulations on carbon footprint it is important for M&M<br />
industry to focus on greening and leaning of their transportation and logistics (T&L) management services. The<br />
requirement is to understand appropriate optimization and greening techniques for various aspects of T&L such as<br />
fleet management and transport tracking, usage based insurance, toll collection, emissions calculation and other<br />
such aspects (Fig – 7).<br />

<strong>Green</strong>ing for Future - TCS approach for Metals and Mining Industry<br />
An understanding of the <strong>Green</strong> IT challenges (Fig - 8) has prompted TCS <strong>Green</strong> IT consultants to come up with an<br />
Inclusive Approach using a framework that aims at building <strong>Green</strong> Index capabilities for promoting greening of IT<br />
operations to achieve organization’s sustainability goals.<br />
The three key steps are explained below.<br />
Fig 8<br />
STEP 1: Setting up of <strong>Green</strong> Agenda: This forms the basis of establishing opportunities for <strong>Green</strong>ing in the<br />
organization. This step helps to build the action levers which can provide tremendous opportunities for reducing<br />
the year-on-year cost and carbon content along with improving Compliance, CSR, Branding, Asset Utilization and<br />
Governance.<br />
STEP 2: Building of Inclusive approach to <strong>Green</strong>: This looks at the three components – determining the optimization<br />
potential, building of design solution and developing of solution roadmap and implementation (Fig – 9).<br />
STEP 3: Building of <strong>Green</strong> Index: This provides the visibility to a metric driven organization and can be built into the<br />
Balance Score Card (BSC) at different level to reflect the progress (Fig –10).
