Introduction to Corporate Social Responsibility:
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is defined as “the responsibility of enterprises for their impacts on society”.
CSR in India has traditionally been seen as a philanthropic activity, but has moved from institutional building
(educational, research & culture) to community development through various projects. The Companies Act, 2013
passed by Indian parliament which comes into effect on 1st April, 2014 has introduced the idea of CSR to the
forefront and through its disclose-or-explain mandate, is promoting greater transparency and disclosure.
Since Corporate Social responsibility and sustainability are so closely entwined, it can be said that corporate social
responsibility and sustainability is a company‟s commitment to its stakeholders to conduct business in an
economically, socially and environmentally sustainable manner that is transparent and ethical.
The CSR provisions within the Act are applicable to companies if they have, for any financial year:
 A net worth of at least 500 crore INR; or
 A turnover of at least 1000 crore INR; or
 Net profits of at least 5 crore INR.
The Act encourages companies to spend at least 2% of their average net profit in the previous three years on CSR
activities. Also, the act lists out a set of activities eligible under CSR.
