GLOBAL CENTRE FOR
ABOUT CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
The growing concern about the impact of Businesses on environment and
society is a global phenomenon. Businesses are now required to perform not
only in terms of “Financial returns” but also in terms of “Social returns”. Per-
formance in terms of environmental, social and governance impact of busi-
nesses have become important indicators to achieve sustainable develop-
ment of an economy.
Presently, in India, people can confuse philanthropy and charity with Corpo-
rate Social Responsibility (CSR), when, in fact, these are quite different things.
Philanthropy and charity are significant but limited in their efficacy and scale
to achieve the desired progress in sustainable and inclusive development.
Practical and correct usage of CSR creates a“WOW”effect in the mind of stake-
holders and this needs to be understood by the companies. CSR aims at Sus-
tainable Development, which revolves around the four pillars of CSR: the work
place, which revolves around the Employees; Market Place, which means the
customers; the Society in general; and the Environment in particular.

6. WHY THIS COURSE ?
The sheer magnitude of work to be done across private sector companies, public sec-
tor undertakings, government bodies and government itself is overwhelming.
CSR, Sustainablity, Ethical Management are no longer concepts but germane to sur-
vival of human enterprises.
Unfortunately, today these activities are managed by differently qualified generalists ,
inexperienced in this field – not specialists.
The aim of the MSc course in“CSR and Ethical Management” is an integrative teaching
of Economics fundamentals, Business Ethics, CSR Management and the entire field of
sustainability. It includes understanding the economic and social sustainability for the
optimal allocation of resources.
According to the results of a study coducted by the Indian Centre for CSR, majority
of Indian companies believe that the development of a CSR strategy can deliver real
business benefits.
However, only 11% have made significant progress in implementing the strategy in
their organisation. This indicates huge requirement for talent.
