Vision
Our vision is to be the leading CSR Entity in India in the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Advisory and Practices. Today, the Impact of the Businesses on Environment and Society is even more profound as India seeks to develop its economy to catch up with the first world. Our Goal is to be Catalyst in the Sustainable Development so that Corporate Social Responsibility defines the DNA of each and every Business in India. We understand that an Enterprise cannot continue to prosper without consideration for its Environmental and Social Performance, and will have to strive to Protect and Improve the Global Environment and pursue Sustainable Development through all aspects of its Business Activities. We will Endeavor to increase value of Indian Businesses by helping them adopt the Best Global Standards & Practices in the field of CSR. We believe that a Good CSR can help companies Reduce Costs and Mitigate their Risks. We also understand that without Governmental support such ideas will not culminate into reality until unless Government actually gets involved in monitoring and supervising and yet seen to be making it voluntary. Given our huge intrinsic Knowledge of Government working, we wish to Educate and Facilitate Government in ensuring Global Best Practices and Framework for India which is comparable to the Best in the World and at the same time these Standards have distinct India Flavor. Path Forward The CSR Standards and Practices are still at a nascent stage in India, we think that there is huge potential in the field of CSR Advisory Practices. As Indian companies internationalize, more and more companies will adhere to the Best CSR Practices so that they are known as Credible, Responsible and Ethical Corporations. We will like to see that at least 70% of top companies and 50% of upcoming SMEs are our clients in three years time. We will like to see ourselves as developing Index for Good for companies listed at Indian Stock Exchanges and accordingly we have started dialogue with the Bombay Stock Exchange. In order to be Leader and not a Follower, it is always envisaged that Education will play a central role. Accordingly, the Indian Centre for CSR has acquired 10 acres of land in Ratnagiri in the state of Maharashtra to develop a Institute to impart education, training and Cutting Edge Research in the field of CSR.

Accordingly, we have tied up some of the very credible names in India and Europe to spearhead this very important initiative with Best Global Inputs. In order to support, facilitate and educate Government on setting up a distinct desirable India standards, we have started taking inputs from Research Scholars, Subject Matter Experts and leading world CSR organizations including that of Ethical Corporation, CSR Company and Centre for Sustainability Excellence who are currently advising their respective Governments and Global Bodies. For a company to be perceived as Credible & Ethical, it needs to demonstrate its commitment for People, Planet and Society. We are tying-up with the leading Global Entity who has knowledge and expertise, to encourage the organizations within India to display CSR Label", which itself will demonstrate the commitment of the organizations towards People, Planet and Society. We believe Indian Centre for CSR will be able to generate significant Revenues running into several hundreds of million dollars for itself and its Partners. CSR - given its important role in shaping the Best Practices in Business, would eventually require a lot of support in terms of Assimilation and Dissemination of CSR Knowledge and Information. Accordingly, at Indian Centre for CSR we would continue Organizing Seminars, Workshops, Training - so as to keep organizations abreast of Global Best Practices and Knowledge. This will remain one of our central activities. These Seminars and Conference would also involve and include our Global Partners to keep Global perspective and Best Practices available to Indian audiences at all times. We also envisaged the need to bring in "Best Standards for India." India needs to build its own Standards given the complexities of Indian Market and Government Structure. While attempts are being made by European organizations in particular to thrust their Framework and Standards, we feel its the right time for India to build their own Standards and Framework. The Trade and Commerce Bodies are tying-up with such entities to create a demonstrable Framework, which itself is a question-mark, as primary role of these Trade and Commerce Bodies will always remain facilitation and promotion of Businesses' and Not CSR. People in India will understand this eventually; once it is articulated "Performers should never become Evaluators."
