Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has emerged as a vital element in shaping the ethical, social, and environmental dimensions of business practices across the globe. As businesses increasingly recognise their broader responsibilities beyond profitability, CSR has become not only a moral imperative but also a strategic tool for sustainable growth and stakeholder engagement.
This book, Corporate Social Responsibility: Activities of Selected Top Listed Companies, explores the CSR initiatives undertaken by some of the most prominent publicly listed companies in India. By examining their strategies, implementation mechanisms, and impact, this work aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how leading corporations align their operations with social and environmental values.
The motivation behind this study stems from the growing interest among academics, practitioners, and policymakers to understand how CSR is integrated into corporate strategy. The selected companies featured in this book have been chosen based on their market standing and the visibility of their CSR efforts. Through this focused lens, the book provides insights into real-world practices, challenges, and innovations in CSR.
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all those whose support contributed to the completion of this work. Special thanks are due to my academic mentors, institutional advisers, and industry professionals who offered valuable insights and feedback throughout the research process. I am also indebted to the various organisations whose transparency and reporting practices made this study possible.
I hope this book serves as a valuable resource for students, researchers, corporate professionals, and anyone interested in the evolving role of businesses in society. It is my sincere belief that as we move toward more responsible and inclusive business practices, such explorations will contribute meaningfully to both scholarship and practice.
