Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) & how to start an NGO
Corporate Social Responsibility and how to start an NGO in India + Real life Case Studies
Description
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the idea that a company should play a positive role in the community and consider the environmental and social impact of business decisions. It is closely linked to sustainability − creating economic, social, and environmental value – and ESG, which stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. All three focus on non-financial factors that companies, large and small, should consider when making business decisions.
In recent years, there has been a shift from CSR to social purpose. Many companies have pivoted from having a community investment strategy and a ‘nice to have’ mindset to adopting a holistic approach in which their mission is built into everything they do.
CSR can involve a broad scope of approaches and initiatives—everything from sustainable practices to community involvement. Customers increasingly expect responsible behaviour from companies they do business with.
India is the first country in the world to make corporate social responsibility (CSR) mandatory, following an amendment to the Companies Act, 2013 in April 2014. Businesses can invest their profits in areas such as education, poverty, gender equality, and hunger as part of any CSR compliance.
