 Creating Shared Value
Michael E. Porter and Mark R. Kramer, 2011

• Societal needs, not just conventional economic needs,

define markets, and social harms can create internal costs
for firms.
• Companies can create economic value by creating societal
value.
– by reconceiving products and markets
– redefining productivity in the value chain
– building supportive industry clusters at the company’s locations

Dr. Tata L. Raghu Ram, XLRI Jamshedpur

 Stakeholder theory – Freeman, 1984
SHARED VALUE CREATION – Porter & Kramer, 2011

Mutualism is the way two

organisms of different
species exist in a relationship
in which each individual benefits
from the activity of the other.

Stakeholders: Win-Win outcomes

Sustainable Public Procurement:

Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP) is a process by which
public authorities seek to achieve the appropriate balance
between the three pillars of sustainable development -
economic, social and environmental - when procuring
goods, services or works at all stages of the project.
- European Commission

The GoI scrapped the Bhaironghati hydel project on the river Bhagirathi. The GoU had earlier suspended work on its Pala-Maneri
and Loharinag Pala projects. The GoI also declared approximately 135 km from Gaumukh (upstream of Gangotri) to Uttarkashi as an
eco-sensitive zone under the Environment Protection Act (1986). These decisions were taken keeping in mind the faith that
millions of Indians have in the sanctity of the Ganges.

Project Financing
The project has been financed by the Power Finance Corporation through a fund which was activated from the Export
Development Canada (EDC) with a debt-equity ratio of 70:30, with a 16% interest on equity capital and 10% return on the
loan component

Financial Repercussions
Work had been commenced on the construction of the hydro power project by the time the project was scrapped. Hence,
the total expenditure of Rs. 296.82 Crores that included construction costs, equipment, interests on loans had to be
recovered. It wasn’t possible to salvage the entire cost incurred on the project.

JV between L&T and Tata Steel in a PPP with the Government of Orissa

July 1997: Coastal Regulation Zone notification amended conferring power on the Ministry of Surface Transport (MoST) to
grant environmental clearance to ports
September 1997: Notification declaring the Gahirmatha Marine Sanctuary issued
October 1997: International Sea Ports Pvt. Ltd. with Larsen & Toubro as major stakeholder gets an Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA) report prepared by Kirloskar Consultants, Pune
December 1997: Fresh proclamation issued for Bhitarkanika National Park
September 1998: Final notification for 145 sq. km. Bhitarkanika National Park issued. The Dhamra Port site was now outside
the national park boundaries
The Dhamra port project’s financial closure was delayed by more than four years due to hassles in obtaining
environmental clearances - one-time Rs. 30 Crores for wildlife and habitat conservation in the region
