Corporate Social Responsibility
India’s pioneering vision of mandatory CSR, enacted in 2013, stands as a global beacon of corporate responsibility.
Corporate Social Responsibility
This pathbreaking initiative recognizes the power of businesses to drive positive change, making India the only country to mandate CSR for specific companies. Embracing this spirit, we, Nav Chetna NGO, are committed to being a responsible corporate citizen, actively contributing to a better India.
What is CSR?
CSR, at its core, is about businesses taking responsibility for their impact on society and the environment. It goes beyond mere philanthropy; it’s about integrating social and environmental concerns into core business operations. This means actively contributing to the betterment of communities and ecosystems where companies operate.
Why CSR matters in India
Bridging the Gap
India, like many nations, faces challenges in areas like poverty, education, healthcare, and environmental sustainability. CSR acts as a bridge, empowering businesses to address these critical issues through targeted initiatives.
Sustainable development goals
India is deeply committed to achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Corporate CSR efforts play a crucial role in propelling the nation towards these ambitious goals, ensuring a more equitable and sustainable future for all.
Public-private partnership
CSR fosters a powerful collaboration between the public and private sectors. By leveraging corporate resources and expertise, CSR projects create a stronger synergy and accelerate progress towards social and environmental well-being.
Good Deeds, Good Business: The Power of CSR
Doing good builds brands. Many companies choose ethical practices to attract customers and stand out. Some founders, driven by personal values, go further, making social responsibility a core part of their business. This blend of strategy and passion creates positive change, both within companies and beyond.
"We recognize ISO 26000 as a reference document that provides guidance for integration/implementation of social responsibility / socially responsible behavior."
