CSR has been a buzz word since India has been the first country to introduce statutory provisions with respect to CSR under companies act-2013. In the first five years of the mandated CSR era, India Inc has made significant progress from adoption to the application of the law, and now from alignment to sustainable development Goals ( SDGs ).

The key question now is – what has been the impact of spending that has happened so far? How can corporations leverage on it by creating essential services such as Sanitation, Health Care, Clean Drinking Water, Education and Financial literacy and what can be done to maximize it, scale it up, and make it sustainable?

The IICSR-2020, Let’s hear from the CSR and civil society leaders some challenges, opportunities and learnings based on their experiences. A cross-fertilization of thoughts between policymakers, funders, researchers and implementers would be facilitated – highlighting key parameters for measurable, scalable and sustainable impact.

Corporate Social Responsibility ( CSR ) is a self-regulating business model that helps a company be socially accountable to itself, its stakeholders, and the public. By practising Corporate Social Responsibility, also called corporate citizenship, companies can be conscious of the kind of impact they are having on all aspects of society, including economic, social and environmental..

For a company to be socially responsible, it first needs to be accountable to itself and stakeholders. Often companies that adopt CSR programs have grown their business to the point where they can give back to society. Thus, CSR is primarily a strategy of large corporations, Also, the more visible and successful a corporation is, the more responsibility it has to set standards of ethical behaviour for its peers, congestion and industry.
