Genesis of Indian Centre for CSR (ICCSR)
The growing concern about the impact of Businesses on environment and society is a global phenomenon. Performance in terms of environmental, social and governance impact of business have become important indicators to achieve sustainable development of an economy In India everyone has a view on CSR but when comes to knowledge and understanding the essence of CSR for Corporate-‐ there is an impending need of clarity as people confuse philanthropy and charity with CSR. This simple understanding which is well seBled in Europe is sDll a point of contenDon. Accordingly, ICCSR has mandated itself to spread CSR Knowledge and Global Best PracDces on CSR for People, Society, Government and most importantly Corporate as these stakeholders need to understand that. Philanthropy and charity are significant but limited in their efficacy & scale to achieve the desired progress in sustainable and inclusive development Rajesh Tiwari, our Founder & CEO, and other leadership team of Alok Goel, Vipan Chopra, Bhanu Pratap Singh & Sanjeev Verma were driven by zeal to eradicate the knowledge gap in CSR space in India. Having worked for three decades in government, public and private sector in leadership posiDons having raised billions of dollar, all were driven by passion to create a world class enDty in CSR space. At, Indian Centre for CSR, we believe that PracDcal and correct usage of CSR creates a “WOW” effect in the minds of stakeholders and this needs to be understood by the companies. CSR aims at Sustainable Development, which revolves around the four pillars of CSR: the work place, which revolves around the Employees; Market Place, which means the customer; the Society in general; and the Environment in parDcular
ICCSR-‐Right place, Right Time! CSR has been gaining momentum in India. The inclusion in the Companies Bill, 2011, to include Sustainability Reports in the Annual Report and mandatory spend 2% of average net profit (approx Rs. 8,000 crore) of last 3 years on CSR acDviDes has given it a very important push All companies including SMEs will be required to submit Sustainability Report The SecuriDes and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) issued a mandate that the 100 top listed enDDes must submit CSR Reports, as a part of their annual report The large transnaDonal companies are asking their suppliers to be CSR compliant. Today CSR acDviDes are managed by differently qualified managers, inexperienced in this field – not specialists. CSR and Sustainability is the aggregate of strategies, methods and tools that an enterprise or an organizaDon uses in its business acDviDes, in order to assure compliance with ethical standards as well as a posiDve impact on the three pillars of sustainability: environment, society, economy.
The World is imbibing the concept of “Shared Vision.” The best of the corporates are transforming themselves by including Social Returns along with Financial Returns in their Core Strategic Vision.

Global ReporPng IniPaPve (GRI) The GRI ReporDng Framework is intended to serve as a generally accepted framework for reporDng on an organizaDon’s economic, environmental, and social performance. It is designed for use by organizaDons of any size or spread, sector, or geography. The GRI ReporDng Framework contains general and sector-‐specific content that has been agreed by a wide range of stakeholders around the world ReporPng Principles and Guidance
Main elements here help determine what to report on and cover the ReporDng Principles of materiality, stakeholder inclusiveness, sustainability context, and completeness, along with a brief set of tests for each Principle. ApplicaDon of these Principles with the Standard Disclosures determines the topics and Indicators to be reported. These principles conclude with guidance for reporDng organizaDons on how to define the range of enDDes represented by the report (also called the ‘Report Boundary’).
Standard Disclosures
The Guidelines idenDfy informaDon that is relevant and material to organizaDons and of interest to stakeholders . There are three types of Standard Disclosures: •Strategy and Profile: sets the overall context for understanding organizaDonal performance such as its strategy, profile, and governance. •Management Approach: covers how an organizaDon addresses a given set of topics in order to provide context for understanding performance in a specific area. •Performance Indicators: Indicators that elicit comparable informaDon on the economic, environmental, and social performance of the organizaDon.
UNPRI ReporPng The United NaDons-‐backed Principles for Responsible Investment IniDaDve (PRI) is a network of internaDonal investors working together to put the six Principles for Responsible Investment into pracDce. The Principles were devised by the investment community. They reflect the view that environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues can affect the performance of investment portolios and therefore must be given appropriate consideraDon by investors if they are to fulfil their fiduciary (or equivalent) duty.
ReporPng Principles and Guidance
• Incorporate ESG issues into investment analysis and decision-‐making processes. • AcDve owners and incorporate ESG issues into our ownership policies and pracDces. • Appropriate disclosure on ESG issues by the enDDes in which we invest. • Promote acceptance and implementaDon of the Principles within the investment industry • Enhance our effecDveness in implemenDng the Principles. • Report on our acDviDes and progress towards implemenDng the Principles.
Benefits
Asset owners: The importance of ESG issues is recognised by top pension funds and investors, who want to reduce both risk and generate sustainable financial returns. Asset managers: Being a signatory to the PRI gives asset managers a compeDDve edge over non-‐signatory peers by helping them to develop their experDse to beBer incorporate in investment strategies the risks and opportuniDes posed by ESG issues. Service providers: As investors increasingly look to incorporate ESG issues into their investment processes, the implementaDon of the Principles will affect the investment supply chain.
Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Risk Management
Why report to CDP?
Companies that measure their environmental risk are beBer able to manage it strategically. And those that are transparent and disclose this informaDon are providing decision makers with access to a criDcal source of global data that delivers the evidence and insight required to drive acDon.
Companies demonstrate:
Realize several benefits
• How they are future-‐proofing their business from climate change and water impacts.
Thousands of companies around the world from medium sized enterprises to large publicly quoted corporaDons are realizing the benefits from this process.
• Increased awareness of greenhouse gas emissions hot spots so that they can begin to reduce them. • Business leadership in understanding the risks from climate change and water scarcity. • How they are creaDng opportuniDes to innovate and generate revenue from sustainable products and services.
Leadership indexes Companies with the top scores for disclosure qualify to be listed in the Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI) . Top-‐scoring companies for performance qualify to be listed in the Carbon Performance Leadership Index (CPLI) provided they also meet some addiDonal criteria that are explained in detail on the performance scores page.
