Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to voluntary actions that companies take to contribute to social good and environmental sustainability. The concept of CSR first emerged in the 1950s but grew in popularity in the 1990s. While some large Indian companies integrated CSR for decades, it remains an emerging concept in India overall. Critics argue that stronger regulations, not just voluntary measures, are needed to ensure companies behave responsibly regarding social and environmental impacts.

Responsibility was first mentioned 1953 in
the publication „Social Responsibilities of the
Businessman‟ by William J. Bowen. However,
the term CSR became only popular in the

generic pharmaceutical company decided to

In July 2001, the European Commission
decided to launch a consultative paper on

European Union could promote Corporate
Social Responsibility at both the European
and international level.

5. CSR is not new to India
companies like TATA and BIRLA have
been imbibing the case for social good in
their operations for decades long before
CSR become a popular cause. Inspite of
having such life size successful
examples, CSR in India is in a very
nascent stage.

6. How "social responsible" are Companies in
reality?
Due to the lack of international CSR
guidelines, the practical application of CSR
differs and CSR Strategies within most
companies still show major deficiencies.
There are still complaints about
multinational companies wasting the
environment and NGOs still denouncing
human rights abuses in companies.

7. CSR or in prompting companies to
adopt socially responsible practices:
Critics suggest that better governmental and
international regulation and enforcement,
rather than voluntary measures are necessary
to ensure that companies behave in a socially
responsible manner. Corporate social
responsibility should therefore not be seen as
a substitute to regulation concerning social
rights or environmental standards

Three billion people still use wood, charcoal, coal or
animal waste as a cooking tool. Providing them with
electricity will reduce a significant amount of toxic

million deaths per year which occur due to the
toxicity of these materials. Technology transfers, as

government and other organizations, can help in the
adoption of renewable energies
