The forum gives a golden opportunity to larger business houses to talk on their CSR and way of serving the nation in the presence of business and CSR fraternity, civil society and government authorities and media from across the nation.<\/p>\n

The summit will be helping on setting up new agenda and priorities for CSR in India. Aligning of CSR to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and larger Sustainability goals of business will also be discussed during the deliberations.<\/p>\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n

India is the first country in the world that mandates corporate social responsibility. On 1 April, 2014, the Government of India implemented CSR Act requiring companies to spend 2% of their net profit on social development. India CSR Law, Section 135, is a clause under Companies Act, 2013, Government of India.<\/p>\n

Conceived to convey more accountability in all major domains of business functioning, and especially to improve the governance, the Act has become almost synonymous with \u2018Giving Back\u2019 for socio-economic development in the clause 135 of Companies Act, 2013.<\/p>\n

Why such a mega forum is required in India?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to CSR Legislation, in the last five years, Corporates have shown tremendous interest on participating in larger development practices of nation building. The Summit is a flag bearer of Corporate Social Responsibility in India. The forum will set new benchmarks and goals for the business responsibility on social change.<\/p>\n
