Corporate Social Responsibility
Sustainability Starts here: Make an Impact everyday
Today, forward-thinking organizations view CSR not just as a regulatory requirement but as an opportunity to create shared value—enhancing brand reputation, building community goodwill, and contributing to a more inclusive and sustainable future. By aligning CSR initiatives with core values and long-term vision, companies in India are transforming from being profit-centric to purpose-driven enterprises—a shift that resonates deeply with customers, investors, and talent alike.
Bharat became the first country in the world to mandate CSR through legislation. The legal foundation for CSR is laid down under Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, and the associated Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Rules, 2014, as amended from time to time.
