Tata Steels to offer its facilities for HIV/AIDS programmes

NEW YORK: Tata Steels is among seven global corporations operating in the

developing countries that have promised to use their facilities to expand

HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment programmes in the communities where they do

business to buttress United Nations efforts.

The others six companies are Anglo-American, ChevronTexaco, DaimlerChrysler,

Eskom, Heineken and Lafarge.

The initiative will start in India, Cameroon, Ghana, Nigeria, Russia and South

Africa. The seven corporations are members of Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS

(GBC). The use of existing infrastructure will reduce the costs of new and

scaled-up national programmes, the corporations said.
