Firm calls allegations unsubstantiated, says it'll ‘vehemently’ defend itself as environmental group sues it
Tata Steel’s two Dutch subsidiaries are facing a €1.4 billion lawsuit in the Netherlands alleging health and property damage caused by emissions from the company’s steelmaking operations, a charge which the Indian conglomerate labelled as “unsubstantiated and speculative”.
In an exchange filing on Thursday, Tata Steel said that environmental group Stichting Frisse Wind.nu (SFW) has served a writ of summons on Tata Steel Nederland BV and Tata Steel IJmuiden BV on December 19.
And the proceedings have begun before the District Court of North Holland in Haarlem under the Dutch Act on Collective Settlement of Mass Claims (WAMCA).
SFW has said that it is acting on behalf of residents living near Tata Steel’s IJmuiden plant. The lawsuit relates to allegations that emissions of hazardous or harmful substances from Tata Steel’s operations in Velsen-Noord have adversely affected residents’ health and living conditions.
