Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) today is being seen as more than just compliance by Indian businesses. There is a growing realization that businesses cannot thrive in isolation from the communities they operate in. The company’s success is closely linked to the well-being of its stakeholders such as the community surrounding them. Hence adopting CSR strategies helps these companies build positive relations, enhance their reputation, and foster long-term sustainability. While CSR in India has achieved noteworthy outcomes and companies have gone beyond mandated requirements, there remain challenges that need to be addressed such as developing CSR activities that align with business goals, identifying relevant stakeholders, effective utilization of CSR funds, measuring and evaluating the impact of the initiatives and promoting accountability, etc.

To mitigate these challenges CII-CESD is organizing a two-day CSR training program on Measurable, Sustainable and Impactful CSR at New Delhi on 17-18th August 2023 (9:00 am – 5:00 pm).

The first day of the training will provide the professionals with an understanding of the CSR ecosystem.
