Oracle orporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in India has over the years been largely con ned Cto the domain of philanthropy. e Companies Act, 2013 rede ned and gave structure to the idea of CSR and Schedule VII of the Act, which lists out several probable CSR activities, mandates community's consent as an important prerequisite. e Act encourages companies to spend at least 2% of their average net pro t from the previous three years on CSR activities. CSR in India, is thus slowly in transition from institution building to community development activities.
rough CSR, companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and interactions with their stakeholders. CSR is generally understood as being the way through which a company achieves a balance of economic, environmental and social imperatives while at the same time addressing the expectations of shareholders and stakeholders. In this sense CSR can be a strategic business management concept and not just an exercise in charity, sponsorship or philanthropy. Even though the la er can make a valuable contribution to poverty reduction and directly enhance the reputation of a company and strengthen its brand, the concept of CSR clearly goes beyond that.
