Focus Area: Strategic CSR

In 2014, India became the first country to legally mandate Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) India, that mandated companies to spend at least 2% of their average net profits of the preceding 3 years on social impact programmes. With more than 30% of these companies spending more than their prescribed amount in 2020, CSR has emerged as a key source of development finance in India.

Here, we explore CSR funding trends across sectors, industries and regions, and build knowledge that can enable a community of CSRs to strategically fund and support innovative development sector solutions that are closely aligned to their core expertise and business values.
