Review of successful corporate initiatives & challenges of CSR
Case Studies of Major CSR Initiatives
India's ancient wisdom, which is still relevant today, inspires people to work for the larger objective of the well-being of all stakeholders. For example, our Rushees, Munees and Saints preached us to serve the society. The idea of CSR first came up in 1953 when it became an academic topic in HR Bowen’s “Social Responsibilities of the Business”. Since then, there has been continuous debate on the concept and its implementation. Although the idea has been around for more than half a century, there is still no clear consensus over its definition. Post 1991, there is increasingly a receding role of the state in the economic and social sphere. An increasing acceptance of CSR by large number of corporate, post liberalization can thus be seen in the context of the larger role being consciously carved for the private sector in an economy which was earlier largely controlled and managed by the State. The corporate world is keen to exploit the opportunities that are being provided by the new economic outlook of the State. Today, 93% of the world’s largest 250 companies now publish annual corporate responsibility reports, almost 60% of which are independently audited.

CSR has a long history associated with it impacts on organizations behavior. CSR is originally considered an American and European concept. During the 1990s the idea of CSR became almost universally approved, also CSR was coupled with strategy literature and finally, in the 2000s.
In India as in the rest of the world there is a growing realization the capital markets and corporations are. After all, created by society and must therefore serve it, not merely profit from it. And those consumers and citizens campaigns can make all the difference.
For over 50 years, Hindalco has worked in the hinterlands of India to better the quality of life of the underprivileged sections of society. This study is undertaken to provide a systematic analysis of:
CSR is a process by which an organization thinks about and evolves its relationships with stakeholders for the common good and demonstrates its commitment in this regard by adoption of appropriate business processes and strategies. Thus, CSR is no charity or mere donations.
CSR is a way of conducting business, by which corporate entities visibly contribute to the social good. Socially responsible companies use CSR to integrate economic, environmental and social objectives with the company’s operations and growth.
Many other names are used to refer to CSR such as socially responsible business, responsible business conduct, responsible entrepreneurship, corporate citizenship, corporate accountability or corporate sustainability.
It is the continuing commitment by businesses to behave ethically & contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce & their families ,local communities and the society at large
CSR requires companies to acknowledge that they should be publicly accountable not only for their financial performance but also for their social and environmental record.
It encompasses the extent to which companies should promote human rights, democracy, community improvement and sustainable development objectives throughout the world.
CSR is the commitment of businesses to contribute to sustainable economic development working with employees, their families, the local community and society at large to improve their quality of life in ways that are both for business and good for international development

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

“The movement for CSR has won the battle
of ideas …CSR commands the attention of
Executives Everywhere.” (Economist 2005)
11. HOW COMPANIES DEMONSTRATE
THEIR COMMITMENT TO CSR
• Top-level involvement (CEO, Board of Directors)
• Policy statements
• Programs
• Staffing resources
• Signatories to voluntary standards
– Principles (UN Global Compact – www.unglobalcompact.org; Ceres
Principles – www.ceres.org; SA8000 – www.sa-intl.org)

(Just as an individual does)
Corporate Social Responsibility is thus only about
two aspects:
1) Reducing the Negative Effects: Steps taken by a
company to neutralise, minimise or offset the
harmful effects caused by its processes and
product-usage
2) Increasing the Positive Contributions: Further
steps taken using its resources, core competence,
skills, location and funds for the benefit of people
and the environment

16. CSR at TATA Group
The term 'corporate social responsibility' or sustainability is of relatively recent vintage. Not so
the philosophy of social responsibility that underlines the Tata way of conducting its
businesses, and the manner of its interactions with all the constituents that come under the
canopy of corporate social responsibility. The multitude of initiatives the Tata Group has
nurtured from its earliest days flows from a wellspring of voluntary, as opposed to obligatory
commitment
Principles first
An implicit sense of ethical business conduct has been the
cornerstone of the Tata way in the corporate governance sphere. On
issues ranging from customer care and business excellence to
financial propriety and more, explicit rules and regulations supplement
the traditional values on which the Tata Group companies has been
shaped.
A feel for people
With some 2,46,000 members in its diverse and widespread family, the
Tata Group is more than just another employer. The Group's many
pioneering initiatives to benefit and empower employees have few
parallels anywhere in the world, and it has blended its traditional
benevolence with evolving human resource methodologies to deliver a
whole lot beyond mere jobs
17. Green at heart
The Tata ethos places a special emphasis on environmental and
ecological issues. The Group's efforts to preserve and regenerate
the environment find expression in the slew of projects and
programmes in has undertaken in and around its facilities and
operations.
Caring and sharing
From health and education to livelihoods and women-children welfare,
from tribal hamlets in Jharkhand and the rural outback of Gujarat to
the high ranges of Kerala and disadvantaged villages in Andhra
Pradesh — the community work being undertaken by the companies
and trusts of the Tata Group touches a multitude of Indians across the
land. Beyond purely social work, this support extends to individuals
and institutions pursuing artistic and sporting excellence.

form member & sell it to the district level co-operative.
2nd
tier :- The district co-operative that processes milk into milk
products, markets locally & sells surplus to the state

Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) responsible for
national and international marketing of milk and milk
products produced and sold to it.
AMUL
ANAND MILK UNION LTD
20. .
CSR-Sensitive Business Philosophy
The first step towards discharging the CSR is the business
philosophy of the GCMMF. It is two-fold: one, to serve the
interests of milk producers and second, to provide quality
products to consumers as value for money. The milk producers
are paid for their milk in accordance with market forces and
realisation of value for their produce.
.
21. Earnings Of GCMMF
Nurturing its primary members - the milk producers - is
the first mission of the GCMMF. Discharge of this
responsibility is reflected in the manner in which the
GCMMF conducts its business and shares its earnings.
The milk from the village co-operatives is purchased at
an interim price. So as to maximize the earnings of the
milk producers. The GCMMF changes the product profile
during the fiscal and directs its sales and marketing
activities towards those products that would bring in
maximum returns.
22. Expenditure done on CSR by GCMMF
(Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation)
PROFITS:-
Profit of the GCMMF is very low.
The net profit (PADT) of the GCMMF during 2003-04 was Rs
7.31 crore against a turnover of Rs 2,947 crore, a meagre
0.25%. Further out of the net profit of Rs 7.31 crore, Rs 4
crore was given as share dividend to the co-operatives.
To fulfil its corporate social responsibility towards its milk
producers and co-operatives the GCMMF works on razor thin
profits and retention of funds

The Company continued to intensify its
footprint in the social sector by expanding to
newer districts during the year. It continued to
focus on the three main areas of interventions
under ‘Mission Sunehra Kal’

27. The collaboration between ITC and the Government of AP
for wasteland development under ‘Indira Kranti Patham’
was sustained during the year – 830 hectares of
plantations were promoted through this public-private
partnership.
In the area of environment, health and safety, ITC is
moving towards achieving ‘zero solid waste’ status
through recycling of all solid wastes. Recycling of waste
in 2006-07 was 93% as compared to 2005-06 (78.7%)
Reduction in usage of plastic bags: School children were
given practical lessons on the disadvantages of plastic
bags and the adversities faced thereof.
Encourage butterfly gardens: A team of experts educated
and introduced children to the concept of 'Butterfly
Gardens', wherein special plants are grown whereby
creating a natural habitat for butterflies to breed.
28. ITC’s e-Choupal’
• ‘e-Choupal’ also unshackles the potential of Indian farmer
who has been trapped in a vicious cycle of low risk taking
ability > low investment > low productivity > weak market
orientation > low value addition > low margin > low risk taking
ability. This made him and Indian agribusiness sector globally
uncompetitive, despite rich & abundant natural resources.
29. In cyclical natural systems, waste does not
exist. Waste = Food.

Linear Industrial Processes: Waste is created faster than it can be
reconstituted to quality resources. Take-make-waste.
It is estimated that 99% of the original materials used in the production
of, or contained in, the goods made in the US become waste within 6
weeks of sale.

31. Sustainability Issues Affect
Business Responsibility & Ethics:
• “Business cannot succeed in societies that fail.
There is no future for successful business if
the societies that surround it are not working.
Governments and business must create
partnerships to deliver essential societal
services like energy, water, health care and
infrastructure.”
- Bjorn Stigson, President, the World Business Council for
Sustainable Development, 2008

Editor's Notes
Importance of Sustainable Business ideas in the field of Business The re-emergence of sustainablilty a measure of human endeavor --- sustainable forestry, sustainable development, sustainable business practices Programs or courses in colleges of business; lecture series; books, journals emerging in the last several years What is Sustainable Business? One shorthand definition of sustainability in business is the “triple bottom line.” Bottom line refers to the statement of net profit or loss in a financial statement. The triple bottom line measures more than profitability, taking into account environmental and social performance as well as economic. Sustainable Business is also an initiative in the COB’s Strategic Plan COB’s Sustainable Business Initiative’s definition: Sustainability- A sustainable business meets the economic, social and environmental needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Through CSR Europe’s members of different parentage as well as our partners we experience the different approaches to CSR first hand CSR Perspectives from different regions JAPAN : Perspective based on legal standards / frameworks especially ISO, Quality Management Less NGO pressure and stakeholder pressure Very strong interest in perspectives from Europe and other regions (Regularly in contact with CSR Europe in seeking knowledge transfer) CHINA Opening up to global economy export driven Integration into World Trade organisation – how to trade as ‘gentleman capitalist’ => Approach to CSR based on the ‘Politically Correct’ approach – “what is expected from us”. Very strong interest in perspectives from Europe and other regions (Regularly in contact with CSR Europe in seeking knowledge transfer) US Legal approach – what is not forbidden is allowed CSR Approach is more based on risk management vis a vis law suits on governance and transparency in particular. Philanthropy or corporate giving Latin America Significant adoption of CSR, number of active networks adressing the role of business in sustainable development EU Stakeholder approach based on dialogue and confrontation among stakeholders ANTI STANDARD Approach, voluntary, beyond legal requirements Yet, within Europe as in other regions there is diversity in CSR approaches: CSR in Spain is for example more focused on cause related marketing, philantropy still, while in the UK, the government has just passed the Operating & Financial Review reporting standard (the OFR) - for disclosing information and Key performance indicators on not only financial but also social and governance issues. But also at the European level as a whole: the public institutions are placing CSR high on the agenda. Ben will tell you more now specifically on CSR on the European political agenda and CSR Europe’s involvement in that. The main question is of course: will CSR stay voluntary or mandatory?
