Corporate social responsibility for wellbeing and betterment of society
About the Summit
CSR Impact Summit is full day event. It will be held on Friday, 10th February 2023 in Habitat World at India Habitat Centre, Lodhi Road, New Delhi.
The focus is “The Positive Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility”
India is the first country in the world to make corporate social responsibility (CSR) mandatory, following an amendment to The Company Act, 2013 in April 2014. Businesses can invest their profits in areas such as education, poverty, gender equality, and hunger. The amendment notified in the Schedule VII of the Companies Act advocates that those companies with a net worth of US$73 million (Rs 4.96 billion) or more, or an annual turnover of US$146 million (Rs 9.92 billion) or more, or a net profit of US$732,654 (Rs 50 million) or more during a financial year, shall earmark 2 percent of average net profits of three years towards CSR. In the draft Companies Bill, 2009, the CSR clause was voluntary, though it was mandatory for companies to disclose their CSR spending to shareholders. It is also mandatory that company boards should have at least one female member.
CSR Impact Summit echoes this thought and brings various stakeholders to share their experiences and ideas which in turn assist the related community to learn, aware and introspect on the various aspects of CSR strategy and CSR activities in India. This will also be an opportunity to exhibit the exemplary products and services to the key stakeholders. Best initiatives in CSR will be recognized.
