World over key developments are taking place which are bearing profound effects on the social, economic and political milieu of both developed and developing nations. These
developments have brought forth changes that are dynamic and relatively novel. These changes have further placed prodigious challenges in front of the world community which is facing
complex issues of diverse nature and require innovative solutions and mechanisms of partnerships to combat these issues.As legitimate stakeholders, businesses and societies are
operating in volatile and risk oriented spaces. Citizens of the world are living in new forms of risk societies, they are also being faced with global crises of terrorism, exploitation, political
instability, economic and social disparities, conflict, violence and many more. These altogether bear a deep impact on the functionality of each stakeholder within a society including
businesses who are being affected by the above issues that in turn influence their operations, outreach and interactions with wider community. Therefore, given the existence of the above
environment, the objectives of doing social good by leading cooperates are perceived with mistrust and uncertainty by other stakeholders especially the community. It has also been
observed that businesses have the potential to contribute immensely to promote social good and thereby fulfilling its duty as a responsible stakeholder. The Post 2015 sustainability
challenges outline a tremendous task for business community to carry forward their corporate responsible duties by working in a “partnership for all” mandate. Also, businesses need to
align their corporate responsibility efforts with their overall business operations to exemplify the true essence of sustainability. In this regard, as a United Nations Global Compact (UNGC)
signatory and to promote the overall "partnerships for all" mandate, GlobalHunt Foundation have conceived the CSR Collaboration Hubs. The hubs were formed with an objective to
leverage partnerships by conducting CSR meetings among diverse leaders and discussion makers in the realm of CSR. One of the key highlights is to integrate knowledge sharing and
establish a method whereby partnerships are instituted and leveraged in these hubs. The hubs operate in a sustainable nature, are continuous in nature and are taken up by key corporate,
civil society organizations, and business associations thereby implying a principle of democratic and universal engagement. I would like to thank the entire team of Hindustan Power
Projects Limited and especially the MoserBaer Trust for taking the lead and kindly hosting the CSR Collaboration Hub. With an objective to organize the hub in continued series and to
disseminate more knowledge in the CSR realm, I encourage diverse stakeholders to conjoin their efforts on these concrete platforms to further strengthen their commitments towards
responsible sustainability initiatives.

Executive Summary
In the month of September 2015, the world leaders constituting the United Nations General Assembly will form a consensus to the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs), simultaneously, the world will also observe the culmination of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The
development goals framed by the United Nations are reflective indicators of the widespread global challenges which are variable with time and
space. The advent of Post 2015 world will have universally acknowledged 17 challenges with around 169 objectives that are required to be fulfilled.
The numerical figures of the goals mentioned in the working draft are considered ambitious by many, but it needs to be recognized that these are, in
fact, the diverse issues, concern areas and problems faced by the world in present times and will escalate with great momentum as we progress
further along with our future generations.
The extensive list of SDG’s bear the essential spirit of partnerships as they were framed through a world wide consultation comprising around 193
nations, more than 7 million responses from people, and entailed deep academic analysis. Moreover, widespread consultations, debates and
discussions all over the world were conducted towards developing measures that needs to be formed to overcome these challenges. The very
formulation of SDG’s extensively propagated the fact that given any country’s scenario, the challenges being faced in the contemporary times are
enveloped with such complexities that it requires the inputs, energies and expertise of diverse people from varied sectors. Any discourse of sustainability encompasses the principles of
people, planet and profit which have to correlate with the notions public, private and people outlooks and related impacts.
The extensive areas integrated within the SDG’s signify the call for collective efforts to overcome the upcoming tasks that is being laid in front of us. The transition of development goals to
sustainable development goals is also the transmutation of world’s perspective of viewing a particular challenge in isolation but towards observing them in relation with others too. The
SDG draft agreement therefore has been explicit in outlining the significant areas of concerns which calls for immediate global actions and effective contributions from multi lateral
organizations. Some of the vital tools which will be and have already been utilized to leverage economic prosperity along with social development are technology, innovations, trade and
strengthening ties among people of diverse regions.
The Post 2015 agenda has been developed at a very significant time in the Indian subcontinent context, as one of the leading democracies in the world, the urge to influence social
development sector became the prime mandate for government and businesses. In India, sustainability was largely viewed under the lens of the environmental contours and was largely
associated with climate change, emissions, waste management and so on. The placing of sustainability agenda occupied its formal translation through the legitimate recognition of Section
135 Corporate Social Responsibility a Clause of the New Companies Act 2013. Though the act has received mixed responses, yet it has brought attention of both the world and within the
country that businesses as one of the key responsible stakeholders have to contribute as an essential partner to achieve the overall sustainable development. It also has formally provided
certain guidelines for businesses to extend their interventions in the social dimensions of sustainability and bring the concept of ‘people’ along with the planet and profit components. If
we carefully observe the overarching framework of SDGs we are able to correlate to the areas mentioned in the Schedule VII of Section 135, we will find key thematic areas such as poverty
alleviations, reducing economic inequalities, women and child empowerment, biodiversity and so on. The SDGs on one hand and the Schedule VII on the other signifies the shared issues,
concerns and challenges which are universal, global and are occurring in diverse contexts.

Traditionally, business have been associated with profit and economic growth, but as a key stakeholder of society their role is becoming more and more significant along with the rapid
progression of society. Business too are focusing their energies on issues concerning the contemporary society at large, they are recognizing the fact that they are conducting their operations
in volatile zones, and are faced with new risks of terrorism, conflict, and if societies are threatened so does the businesses. They are also identifying themselves with the overall shared goal
of poverty alleviation, peace, supporting strong economies, strengthening communities, providing equal opportunities, ensuring a live of dignity and respect for everyone. The nexus of
business and society is being strengthened, as business does recognize the fact that the overall progress of the society along with economic development is pivotal for their operations and
ultimate objective of maximizing profits is possible by expanding their outreach within the any community. The interdependence of business and society are increasing with time,
businesses are viewed as those stakeholders who with their innovation and technical expertise are required to provide key solutions to overcome the widespread challenges faced by society.
These shared linkages have further strengthened the relationship between business and diverse stakeholders of society including government, people, associations, civil society and many
more. Thus the economic power being exercised by businesses bear an element of responsbility which they entail towards the above stakeholders.
The corporate responsibility too has to be sustainable, there is a need for businesses to develop a relationship of trust and legitimacy among the diverse stakeholders. In order to conduct
business in a sustainable manner they need to thrive and adopt those socially responsible practices which will enable them to grow along with community and their operations. The nature
of their activities too should be of inclusive in nature, as it must involve those who remain excluded, informal and should provide opportunities for up scaling and uplifting their livelihoods.
One of the most essential realization by businesses have been that their responsible practices will be achieved when they will work and treat the other stakeholders as their respective
partners with and equivalent outlook.
The post 2015 agenda invokes the Partnerships for All principles and emphasizes on the fact that global cooperation is essential towards achieving a sustainable and inclusive society. There
is a need to foster the symbiotic relationship between business and respective stakeholders of society. The partnerships should be focused on key learnings, way forward and the diverse
initiatives which needs to be undertaken by the overall development of the involved stakeholders. The global partnerships should rest on key principles of sustainability by focusing itself
on designated objectives, key outcomes and should transcend dialogues towards key reforms. Peer learning, sharing of best case practices and on going initiatives form an integral part any
forms of collaborations. It is only through mutual understanding, cross sharing of ideas, perspectives that will lead to generate feedbacks, reviews and will eventually lead to formulation of
a space for conducting any socially responsible business practice with an innovative approach. It is within this methodology that the Collaboration Hub has been conceived on the above
lines where the prime focus is to forge key alliances among leading corporates, civil society and academia so as to emerge with sustainable solutions. The hub is a space for democratic
dialogues on existing CSR projects, practices but also encourages an environment of sharing of best case practices among the peer network.
GlobalHunt Foundation has conducted such CSR Collaboration Hub among leading businesses and among diverse stakeholders. It encourages a match making platform wherein as a
respective stakeholder receives an opportunity to review another’s ongoing or upcoming CSR initiatives and through mutual channels of communication. One of the highlighting aspects
of the hub is to seek those areas of interventions that remain unexplored and require immediate attention. The hub are beyond the capacity of an event or a programme, but were conducted
in project series and received active engagement from diverse stakeholders. The main objective is to bring together business leaders, technology solution providers, civil society
organizations, sustainability experts to form key collaborations and develop key projects which can be implemented within their respective zones. The other dimension of the hub was
focused on imparting essential learnings to the personnel on the upcoming developments in the realm of sustainability and more so encourage an environment of sharing cross sector
experiences, challenges and to align the principles of sustainable practices within their operational frameworks.

Key Note Address on Why We Collaborate
The advent of mutli disciplinary nature of events in the society has led to the re emergence of social issues in the mainstream agenda. The process of
partnership already existed among people and certain concepts developed as an outcome of the match making on diverse issues remained confined
with leading disciplines – demographics was related to economics and sociology has been dealing with society. With the political institutions of the
country advocating social concepts such as Beti bachao (Save the Girl Child) Swachch Bharat (Clean India), it has garnered internal allegiance from
economic institutions – leading corproates who have showcased their strong concerns towards the above social issue. However, their interests have
always been questioned, yet their role has been viewed as one of integral nature.
The nature of collaborations has transcend beyond the purview of merely ticking as one of key tasks or fulfilled the assigned deliverables, but the
focus is now being rested towards the fact that collaborations in present times have become extremely significant. Collaborations has been existing
since the early modern globe era, where people have been discussing the theory of evolutionism, and self interest was at the heart of all debate. The
nature of reciprocity developed with times, social surfaces were evolved from mechanical cooperation to organic cooperation. The whole social
system globalised with times where industries, factories became the new form of kingdoms and was characterized by distribution of resources,
capital, production. As the complexities of social surfaces developed, it also led to the advent of a globalised scenario where communication became
de materialized. The focus shifted from products to service consumptions, IT and manufacturing industries gained prime significance, the emphasis now rested upon what is to be done
after productions of the goods, a clear reflective of this outlook was very much adopted by the retail sector. Both economy and society witnessed a change in true sense, as they were oriented
towards intangible assets where knowledge, expertise, reputation and the customer occupied a primal position. In the contemporary context, emergence of networked society found its true
essence and businesses were required to deal with society. The networked based global society focused more on strengthening the weak ties – bridging of relationships and intense relations
economy, society and family. The bonds of these relationships continued and the overall objective is to keep in continuous touch, the roots should not be isolated, existence of an open ended
models, the networks were built on social capital and trust. We are also now living in networked enclaves rather than globalised society, as the society is not isolated from the information
being generated.
In the context of sustainability, the types of cooperation a carry forwarded the above issues on network enclaves as discussed earlier as risk, entrepreneurship, shared challenges have been
a an integral part on all the debates concerned with sustainability. The way of conducting business, life cycle approach, profit margins disruptive innovations, are key issues which are faced
by businesses for a long period of time. With the change in the dynamic of communication, partnerships, businesses have also realized the fact that they have to move from product based
solutions towards a system thinking approach. This is also reflective in their conducting of CSR practices, where business have to evolve themselves from simple philanthropic mode of
delivering products but to rethink and realign their strategies with a system thinking perspective. Any strategy and CSR system has to engage a holistic thinking of product satisfaction
model with eco efficiency principles at its core. With the people centric approach, there is exists a new scope of interactions, presence of new actors and encompass new models of
collaborations. Business too now have to reinvent their innovations, approaches both in dealing with customers and with society. The symbiotic relationship between business and society
is characterized with a system of innovations which are observed in their dealing with one another business with customers and customers associating themselves with a particular business
corporations. The strategy adopted towards corporate social responsibility should be sustainable in nature and have to be evolved keeping the people or social sustainability component in
mind. Business have to align their sustainable practices, responsibility initiatives with their overall strategy and outlook. CSR and business strategy have to be intertwined with each other
and dialogues and communication among diverse partners will enable businesses to come up with novel areas of interventions and solutions.

Special Address
The advent of CSR clause 135 of the Indian Companies Act, 2013 has enhanced the scope of wide stakeholders and especially CSR practitioners who
have been working on the field and in the domain for a relatively long period of time. The practitioners have a dual sense of responsibility, one with
the organization that they have been working with and implementing the diverse CSR projects, and the other is their own set of perspectives,
ideologies and views on the overall domain of CSR and the approach with which it has to be viewed. Therefore especially in the contemporary legal
and economic scenario a new set of individual and a corporate responsibility is being placed on a CSR practitioner of a company.
To commence with the DLF Foundation CSR activities, the nature of these projects by itself showcasev a collaborative model especially between the
community, local people and with DLF. With the implementation of cluster development programme, cluster service programmes, DLF has
managed to bring the community within its mainstream sustainability framework by initiating some key programs such as the cluster development
programme, cluster service programme and a model cluster programme with the its urban and rural peripheries. The Kachrey se Kamai, - wealth
from waste led towards improving the waste management mechanisms of the nearby villages but also provided economic earnings and livelihoods
to each household of the villages where the programme was being implemented. Key programmatic interventions such as Rural Excellence, Lab
in a Suitcase were extremely beneficial to provide both education and health services at the doorsteps of the villagers. They were also refined examples of bringing the sustainable system
service mechanisms which have been evolved as effective CSR strategies and programmes by DLF. The overall objective for any corporate in the current times is to proceed beyond
compliance and only when sustainability is aligned within their business principles, true CSR will be accomplished and will be beneficial for all the participating stakeholders. The emphasis
to proceed beyond compliance highlights the fact that corporates who have already been indulged in good practices needs to be further encouraged, more so those, new companies who will
now fall under the wider umbrella of compliance will also be motivated to invest in sustainability practices. The challenges met by both the personnel of CSR in the corporate and in civil
society realms are definitely immense, utilization of funds, leveraging partnerships, executing projects within time frame and also dealing with concerned departments are some of the key
issues which all of them within their respective contours will face and shall continue to face in the sector.
Apart from the above challenges, there are issues of macro level, small and medium enterprises too will be under the compliance purview which needs to be carefully observed as these
sectors are already facing an industry lag, we need to concentrate on the fact that such sectors can be encouraged through partnership model and CSR needs to be aligned within their overall
business processes. It is in this context, that it is essential to formulate a CSR brigade comprising of leaders, experts who can widely contribute to the overall sustainable development of
the country. One of the key medium in bringing together all the CSR practitioners on one platform is through encouraging neutral space of communiqué. The dialogues and communication
is also between other personnel from their own respective industry – internal and also external where representatives from civil society, academic, grass root organizations, community
should be involved. CSR professionals working in their respective companies do bear with them a huge sense of responsibility both intrinsic to their company which involves operational
procedures, board approvals, syncing communication from personnel of other departments of the company, and many more, in addition to this there is a responsibility which is extrinsic –
community, people with whom the specific CSR professional and his team has been interacting on regular basis. Thus to strive a balance between business and society, poses a tremendous
task and a challenge for the concerned professionals comprising a complete CSR Committee. However, despite the above fact in mind, corporate social responsibility is evolving, young
professionals are entering these spaces to contribute to the overall social good. The coming time will witness an interesting space as there rests immense potential and wide range of scope
to expand the realm of sustainability in diverse social, cultural and regional contexts of our country.

  • 4. World over key developments are taking place which are bearing profound effects on the social, economic and political milieu of both developed and developing nations. These developments have brought forth changes that are dynamic and relatively novel. These changes have further placed prodigious challenges in front of the world community which is facing complex issues of diverse nature and require innovative solutions and mechanisms of partnerships to combat these issues.As legitimate stakeholders, businesses and societies are operating in volatile and risk oriented spaces. Citizens of the world are living in new forms of risk societies, they are also being faced with global crises of terrorism, exploitation, political instability, economic and social disparities, conflict, violence and many more. These altogether bear a deep impact on the functionality of each stakeholder within a society including businesses who are being affected by the above issues that in turn influence their operations, outreach and interactions with wider community. Therefore, given the existence of the above environment, the objectives of doing social good by leading cooperates are perceived with mistrust and uncertainty by other stakeholders especially the community. It has also been observed that businesses have the potential to contribute immensely to promote social good and thereby fulfilling its duty as a responsible stakeholder. The Post 2015 sustainability challenges outline a tremendous task for business community to carry forward their corporate responsible duties by working in a “partnership for all” mandate. Also, businesses need to align their corporate responsibility efforts with their overall business operations to exemplify the true essence of sustainability. In this regard, as a United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) signatory and to promote the overall "partnerships for all" mandate, GlobalHunt Foundation have conceived the CSR Collaboration Hubs. The hubs were formed with an objective to leverage partnerships by conducting CSR meetings among diverse leaders and discussion makers in the realm of CSR. One of the key highlights is to integrate knowledge sharing and establish a method whereby partnerships are instituted and leveraged in these hubs. The hubs operate in a sustainable nature, are continuous in nature and are taken up by key corporate, civil society organizations, and business associations thereby implying a principle of democratic and universal engagement. I would like to thank the entire team of Hindustan Power Projects Limited and especially the MoserBaer Trust for taking the lead and kindly hosting the CSR Collaboration Hub. With an objective to organize the hub in continued series and to disseminate more knowledge in the CSR realm, I encourage diverse stakeholders to conjoin their efforts on these concrete platforms to further strengthen their commitments towards responsible sustainability initiatives.

  • 5. Executive Summary In the month of September 2015, the world leaders constituting the United Nations General Assembly will form a consensus to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), simultaneously, the world will also observe the culmination of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The development goals framed by the United Nations are reflective indicators of the widespread global challenges which are variable with time and space. The advent of Post 2015 world will have universally acknowledged 17 challenges with around 169 objectives that are required to be fulfilled. The numerical figures of the goals mentioned in the working draft are considered ambitious by many, but it needs to be recognized that these are, in fact, the diverse issues, concern areas and problems faced by the world in present times and will escalate with great momentum as we progress further along with our future generations. The extensive list of SDG’s bear the essential spirit of partnerships as they were framed through a world wide consultation comprising around 193 nations, more than 7 million responses from people, and entailed deep academic analysis. Moreover, widespread consultations, debates and discussions all over the world were conducted towards developing measures that needs to be formed to overcome these challenges. The very formulation of SDG’s extensively propagated the fact that given any country’s scenario, the challenges being faced in the contemporary times are enveloped with such complexities that it requires the inputs, energies and expertise of diverse people from varied sectors. Any discourse of sustainability encompasses the principles of people, planet and profit which have to correlate with the notions public, private and people outlooks and related impacts. The extensive areas integrated within the SDG’s signify the call for collective efforts to overcome the upcoming tasks that is being laid in front of us. The transition of development goals to sustainable development goals is also the transmutation of world’s perspective of viewing a particular challenge in isolation but towards observing them in relation with others too. The SDG draft agreement therefore has been explicit in outlining the significant areas of concerns which calls for immediate global actions and effective contributions from multi lateral organizations. Some of the vital tools which will be and have already been utilized to leverage economic prosperity along with social development are technology, innovations, trade and strengthening ties among people of diverse regions. The Post 2015 agenda has been developed at a very significant time in the Indian subcontinent context, as one of the leading democracies in the world, the urge to influence social development sector became the prime mandate for government and businesses. In India, sustainability was largely viewed under the lens of the environmental contours and was largely associated with climate change, emissions, waste management and so on. The placing of sustainability agenda occupied its formal translation through the legitimate recognition of Section 135 Corporate Social Responsibility a Clause of the New Companies Act 2013. Though the act has received mixed responses, yet it has brought attention of both the world and within the country that businesses as one of the key responsible stakeholders have to contribute as an essential partner to achieve the overall sustainable development. It also has formally provided certain guidelines for businesses to extend their interventions in the social dimensions of sustainability and bring the concept of ‘people’ along with the planet and profit components. If we carefully observe the overarching framework of SDGs we are able to correlate to the areas mentioned in the Schedule VII of Section 135, we will find key thematic areas such as poverty alleviations, reducing economic inequalities, women and child empowerment, biodiversity and so on. The SDGs on one hand and the Schedule VII on the other signifies the shared issues, concerns and challenges which are universal, global and are occurring in diverse contexts. 15 Radhika Ralhan Manager Corporate Sustainability GlobalHunt Foundation
  • 6. Traditionally, business have been associated with profit and economic growth, but as a key stakeholder of society their role is becoming more and more significant along with the rapid progression of society. Business too are focusing their energies on issues concerning the contemporary society at large, they are recognizing the fact that they are conducting their operations in volatile zones, and are faced with new risks of terrorism, conflict, and if societies are threatened so does the businesses. They are also identifying themselves with the overall shared goal of poverty alleviation, peace, supporting strong economies, strengthening communities, providing equal opportunities, ensuring a live of dignity and respect for everyone. The nexus of business and society is being strengthened, as business does recognize the fact that the overall progress of the society along with economic development is pivotal for their operations and ultimate objective of maximizing profits is possible by expanding their outreach within the any community. The interdependence of business and society are increasing with time, businesses are viewed as those stakeholders who with their innovation and technical expertise are required to provide key solutions to overcome the widespread challenges faced by society. These shared linkages have further strengthened the relationship between business and diverse stakeholders of society including government, people, associations, civil society and many more. Thus the economic power being exercised by businesses bear an element of responsbility which they entail towards the above stakeholders. The corporate responsibility too has to be sustainable, there is a need for businesses to develop a relationship of trust and legitimacy among the diverse stakeholders. In order to conduct business in a sustainable manner they need to thrive and adopt those socially responsible practices which will enable them to grow along with community and their operations. The nature of their activities too should be of inclusive in nature, as it must involve those who remain excluded, informal and should provide opportunities for up scaling and uplifting their livelihoods. One of the most essential realization by businesses have been that their responsible practices will be achieved when they will work and treat the other stakeholders as their respective partners with and equivalent outlook. The post 2015 agenda invokes the Partnerships for All principles and emphasizes on the fact that global cooperation is essential towards achieving a sustainable and inclusive society. There is a need to foster the symbiotic relationship between business and respective stakeholders of society. The partnerships should be focused on key learnings, way forward and the diverse initiatives which needs to be undertaken by the overall development of the involved stakeholders. The global partnerships should rest on key principles of sustainability by focusing itself on designated objectives, key outcomes and should transcend dialogues towards key reforms. Peer learning, sharing of best case practices and on going initiatives form an integral part any forms of collaborations. It is only through mutual understanding, cross sharing of ideas, perspectives that will lead to generate feedbacks, reviews and will eventually lead to formulation of a space for conducting any socially responsible business practice with an innovative approach. It is within this methodology that the Collaboration Hub has been conceived on the above lines where the prime focus is to forge key alliances among leading corporates, civil society and academia so as to emerge with sustainable solutions. The hub is a space for democratic dialogues on existing CSR projects, practices but also encourages an environment of sharing of best case practices among the peer network. GlobalHunt Foundation has conducted such CSR Collaboration Hub among leading businesses and among diverse stakeholders. It encourages a match making platform wherein as a respective stakeholder receives an opportunity to review another’s ongoing or upcoming CSR initiatives and through mutual channels of communication. One of the highlighting aspects of the hub is to seek those areas of interventions that remain unexplored and require immediate attention. The hub are beyond the capacity of an event or a programme, but were conducted in project series and received active engagement from diverse stakeholders. The main objective is to bring together business leaders, technology solution providers, civil society organizations, sustainability experts to form key collaborations and develop key projects which can be implemented within their respective zones. The other dimension of the hub was focused on imparting essential learnings to the personnel on the upcoming developments in the realm of sustainability and more so encourage an environment of sharing cross sector experiences, challenges and to align the principles of sustainable practices within their operational frameworks. 16
  • 7. Key Note Address on Why We Collaborate The advent of mutli disciplinary nature of events in the society has led to the re emergence of social issues in the mainstream agenda. The process of partnership already existed among people and certain concepts developed as an outcome of the match making on diverse issues remained confined with leading disciplines – demographics was related to economics and sociology has been dealing with society. With the political institutions of the country advocating social concepts such as Beti bachao (Save the Girl Child) Swachch Bharat (Clean India), it has garnered internal allegiance from economic institutions – leading corproates who have showcased their strong concerns towards the above social issue. However, their interests have always been questioned, yet their role has been viewed as one of integral nature. The nature of collaborations has transcend beyond the purview of merely ticking as one of key tasks or fulfilled the assigned deliverables, but the focus is now being rested towards the fact that collaborations in present times have become extremely significant. Collaborations has been existing since the early modern globe era, where people have been discussing the theory of evolutionism, and self interest was at the heart of all debate. The nature of reciprocity developed with times, social surfaces were evolved from mechanical cooperation to organic cooperation. The whole social system globalised with times where industries, factories became the new form of kingdoms and was characterized by distribution of resources, capital, production. As the complexities of social surfaces developed, it also led to the advent of a globalised scenario where communication became de materialized. The focus shifted from products to service consumptions, IT and manufacturing industries gained prime significance, the emphasis now rested upon what is to be done after productions of the goods, a clear reflective of this outlook was very much adopted by the retail sector. Both economy and society witnessed a change in true sense, as they were oriented towards intangible assets where knowledge, expertise, reputation and the customer occupied a primal position. In the contemporary context, emergence of networked society found its true essence and businesses were required to deal with society. The networked based global society focused more on strengthening the weak ties – bridging of relationships and intense relations economy, society and family. The bonds of these relationships continued and the overall objective is to keep in continuous touch, the roots should not be isolated, existence of an open ended models, the networks were built on social capital and trust. We are also now living in networked enclaves rather than globalised society, as the society is not isolated from the information being generated. In the context of sustainability, the types of cooperation a carry forwarded the above issues on network enclaves as discussed earlier as risk, entrepreneurship, shared challenges have been a an integral part on all the debates concerned with sustainability. The way of conducting business, life cycle approach, profit margins disruptive innovations, are key issues which are faced by businesses for a long period of time. With the change in the dynamic of communication, partnerships, businesses have also realized the fact that they have to move from product based solutions towards a system thinking approach. This is also reflective in their conducting of CSR practices, where business have to evolve themselves from simple philanthropic mode of delivering products but to rethink and realign their strategies with a system thinking perspective. Any strategy and CSR system has to engage a holistic thinking of product satisfaction model with eco efficiency principles at its core. With the people centric approach, there is exists a new scope of interactions, presence of new actors and encompass new models of collaborations. Business too now have to reinvent their innovations, approaches both in dealing with customers and with society. The symbiotic relationship between business and society is characterized with a system of innovations which are observed in their dealing with one another business with customers and customers associating themselves with a particular business corporations. The strategy adopted towards corporate social responsibility should be sustainable in nature and have to be evolved keeping the people or social sustainability component in mind. Business have to align their sustainable practices, responsibility initiatives with their overall strategy and outlook. CSR and business strategy have to be intertwined with each other and dialogues and communication among diverse partners will enable businesses to come up with novel areas of interventions and solutions. 17 Dr.Amrit Srinivasan Tagore National Fellow, Former Prof & HOD, Dept of HUSS, IIT Delhi
  • 8. 18 Special Address The advent of CSR clause 135 of the Indian Companies Act, 2013 has enhanced the scope of wide stakeholders and especially CSR practitioners who have been working on the field and in the domain for a relatively long period of time. The practitioners have a dual sense of responsibility, one with the organization that they have been working with and implementing the diverse CSR projects, and the other is their own set of perspectives, ideologies and views on the overall domain of CSR and the approach with which it has to be viewed. Therefore especially in the contemporary legal and economic scenario a new set of individual and a corporate responsibility is being placed on a CSR practitioner of a company. To commence with the DLF Foundation CSR activities, the nature of these projects by itself showcasev a collaborative model especially between the community, local people and with DLF. With the implementation of cluster development programme, cluster service programmes, DLF has managed to bring the community within its mainstream sustainability framework by initiating some key programs such as the cluster development programme, cluster service programme and a model cluster programme with the its urban and rural peripheries. The Kachrey se Kamai, - wealth from waste led towards improving the waste management mechanisms of the nearby villages but also provided economic earnings and livelihoods to each household of the villages where the programme was being implemented. Key programmatic interventions such as Rural Excellence, Lab in a Suitcase were extremely beneficial to provide both education and health services at the doorsteps of the villagers. They were also refined examples of bringing the sustainable system service mechanisms which have been evolved as effective CSR strategies and programmes by DLF. The overall objective for any corporate in the current times is to proceed beyond compliance and only when sustainability is aligned within their business principles, true CSR will be accomplished and will be beneficial for all the participating stakeholders. The emphasis to proceed beyond compliance highlights the fact that corporates who have already been indulged in good practices needs to be further encouraged, more so those, new companies who will now fall under the wider umbrella of compliance will also be motivated to invest in sustainability practices. The challenges met by both the personnel of CSR in the corporate and in civil society realms are definitely immense, utilization of funds, leveraging partnerships, executing projects within time frame and also dealing with concerned departments are some of the key issues which all of them within their respective contours will face and shall continue to face in the sector. Apart from the above challenges, there are issues of macro level, small and medium enterprises too will be under the compliance purview which needs to be carefully observed as these sectors are already facing an industry lag, we need to concentrate on the fact that such sectors can be encouraged through partnership model and CSR needs to be aligned within their overall business processes. It is in this context, that it is essential to formulate a CSR brigade comprising of leaders, experts who can widely contribute to the overall sustainable development of the country. One of the key medium in bringing together all the CSR practitioners on one platform is through encouraging neutral space of communiqué. The dialogues and communication is also between other personnel from their own respective industry – internal and also external where representatives from civil society, academic, grass root organizations, community should be involved. CSR professionals working in their respective companies do bear with them a huge sense of responsibility both intrinsic to their company which involves operational procedures, board approvals, syncing communication from personnel of other departments of the company, and many more, in addition to this there is a responsibility which is extrinsic – community, people with whom the specific CSR professional and his team has been interacting on regular basis. Thus to strive a balance between business and society, poses a tremendous task and a challenge for the concerned professionals comprising a complete CSR Committee. However, despite the above fact in mind, corporate social responsibility is evolving, young professionals are entering these spaces to contribute to the overall social good. The coming time will witness an interesting space as there rests immense potential and wide range of scope to expand the realm of sustainability in diverse social, cultural and regional contexts of our country.
