Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Advisory
Home »
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activity has now become a critical function of Indian corporates in the backdrop of The Companies Act, 2013 (section 135) making it mandatory for companies having net worth of Rs 500 crore or more, or turnover of Rs 1,000 crore or more, or net profit of Rs 5 crore or more during any financial year to contribute about 2 percent of the average net profits for any block of three years.
At Clear Maze, our aim is to provide end-to-end CSR activity solutions from advisory on CSR policy making to ensuring effective implementation and impact assessment. Our focus is to provide scalable, long lasting and process driven CSR models. One of our key differentiators is synergizing government schemes with CSR strategies so as to ensure the last mile connectivity of the public schemes which is often missing and at the same time generating maximum impact in the target area.
CSR Strategy
CSR activity can no longer be an adhoc one off effort for any entity. It is about making a meaningful impact in the community as awareness about environment, human rights and social issues gain ground. CSR work that earlier stemmed from a philanthropic approach today needs to assess and address the impact of the company’s core activity on the people and environment in its entirety. Therefore, a more sustained and inclusive approach needs to be adopted in CSR activities.
Identification And Selection Of Feasible Project
In the backdrop of a mandatory requirement for engaging in CSR activity the identification and selection of feasible projects becomes critical. We help clients identify projects that are core to the value systems of the company and at the same time address the larger and meaningful needs of the community and environment. Reaching out to stakeholders in a meaningful manner through CSR work will not only lead to the larger goal of sustainability but help in achieving the overarching goal of maintaining profitable growth of the company.
Project Management Support
Selection Of Third Parties For Implementation
In carrying out meaningful CSR work there is a need to tie-up with non-government organizations, government agencies and private parties. We provide assistance to clients in identifying the right kind of third party players in assisting in their CSR activity depending on the geography and the projects at hand.
Stakeholder Engagement
The most critical stakeholder for the successful social impact of any CSR activity is the proposed beneficiary without whose active and willing participation, no project or program can succeed. We help clients address this crucial link through various methods of engagement.
