CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY – PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a key component of inclusive and responsible businesses. With CSR reporting and addressing being mandatory following the amendment of the Companies Act in 2013, it is highly desirable for all stakeholders to deliberate and analyse the CSR policy in the context of formulation, execution and monitoring-responsible business actions.

Centre of Science and Environment is conducting a three day training programme which is designed based on the provisions of the Act and Rules. The training aims at giving practical exposure to participants on CSR with specific reference to the regulatory framework, formulating CSR policy-need base assessment, stakeholder engagement, methodologies for implementation, performance evaluation and statutory reporting.
