Abstract
As Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) continues to mature, one of the paradigms shifts we’ve seen in recent years is a move towards “values”. CSR motivates companies to be ethically right by contributing socially, economically and environmentally. In 2014, government made mandatory for companies to spend 2 per cent of their three-year average annual net profit on CSR activities in each financial year, starting from Financial Year 2015. The norms are applicable to the companies with at least Rs 5 crore net profit or Rs 1,000 crore turnover or Rs 500 crore net worth. As an amendment to The Companies Act, 2013, businesses can invest their profits in areas such as education, poverty, gender equality, and hunger.
