1 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ADVISORY SERVICES
2 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, COMPANIES ACT 2013 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) spending has been made obligatory under Section 135 of the new Companies Act, 2013, thereby reinforcing a culture of public service for businesses CSR is deemed compulsory for companies that fall under the following categories: 500cr 5cr 1,000cr or more of net worth or or more of net profit or or more of turnover The Act mandates companies to spend a minimum of 2% of their average net profit in the previous three years on CSR. Companies can implement their CSR activities through an NGO, a trust, a section 8 company or by themselves. As a result of this Act, over 10,500 companies now come under the compliance requirement of CSR. An initial estimated 20,000cr would be committed to CSR activities by companies. This combination of regulatory as well as societal pressure has meant that companies have to pursue their CSR activities more professionally LIST OF CSR ACTIVITIES UNDER SCHEDULE VII Education Women empowerment Rural sports Environmental sustainability Culture promotion Healthcare Sanitation Skill enhancement Care for the aged Others COMPANIES STRUGGLE TO FALL WITHIN CSR COMPLIANCE CSR compliance: % of companies 44% that spent <2% of their profits on CSR in 2016 i.e. failed to comply with CSR Act An analysis of 4,887 companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange showed there were 133 companies that either did not spend a dime, or were still formulating their CSR agenda. CHALLENGES TO PARTNERSHIP 36% 28% 20% 16% CSR spend by sales turnover size: % 57% 50% 56% 53% 31% cr ,000cr > 10,000cr Do not know how to report on partnerships in accordance with the Companies Act 2013 Do not know whom to partner with The spending profile of larger companies improved by 22% points in 2016, while smaller companies continued to do well. The 22% points improvement in CSR spending profile can be attributed to: Do not know how to structure working model for partnership Do not have approvals from management PARTNERSHIP helps boost compliance % companies that used agencies: 53% 67% 84% cr ,000cr > 10,000cr 1. Overcoming large-scale interventions 2. Using external agencies i.e., credible NGOs, trust and section 8 companies 3. Selection of good quality projects 4. Close and effective monitoring 5. impact assessment of the initiatives The challenges call for external CSR advisory services providing team who are an expert in helping bypass the hurdles and achieve maximum output out of CSR partnerships Source: Report on CSR by IBM, CRISIL CSR Yearbook 2017, Handbook on CSR in India by PWC,
