2. This is the first time that a CSR Rating for companies has been undertaken in India or anywhere in the world. The Karmayog CSR study led to some very clear & simple insights, that: “ Every company harms the environment !” ( Just as an individual does ) Corporate Social Responsibility is thus only about two aspects: 1) Reducing the Negative Effects : Steps taken by a company to neutralise, minimise or offset the harmful effects caused by its processes and product-usage 2) Increasing the Positive Contributions : Further steps taken using its resources, core competence, skills, location and funds for the benefit of people and the environment

6. Inferences from the Karamayog CSR rating exercise… Most spread their CSR funds thinly across many activities, thus reducing the effectiveness and seriousness 5) CSR Effectiveness Most seem reluctant to do CSR activities unless mandated by law 4) CSR Commitment Most use CSR as a marketing tool 3) CSR as PR Many are only making token gestures towards CSR in tangential ways such as donations to charitable trusts, NGOs, sponsorship of events, etc. 2) Token Gestures The results of the CSR Rating exercise are extremely disappointing since almost half of the companies are not doing any CSR 1) No CSR
7. Inferences from the Karmayog CSR rating exercise Very few companies openly state the damage caused by their processes and the steps being taken to reduce this damage 7) CSR Transparency Virtually no company states how much it spends on CSR 9) CSR Spend Only 7 * companies publish a Corporate Sustainability Report to measure and assess the impact of their business on the environment * These are Cummins India, Jubilant Organosys, ITC, Reliance Industries, Dr. Reddy’s, Tata Motors and Tata Steel 8) CSR Reporting Very few have a clearly defined CSR philosophy. Most implement CSR in an ad-hoc manner, unconnected with their business process. 6) CSR Philosophy

13. Expenditure done on CSR by GCMMF ( Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation) PROFITS:- Profit of the GCMMF is very low. The net profit (PADT) of the GCMMF during 2003-04 was Rs 7.31 crore against a turnover of Rs 2,947 crore, a meagre 0.25%. Further out of the net profit of Rs 7.31 crore, Rs 4 crore was given as share dividend to the co-operatives. To fulfill its corporate social responsibility towards its milk producers and co-operatives the GCMMF works on razor thin profits and retention of funds.
