India is at the forefront of redefining corporate responsibility. As one of the first countries in the world to legislate CSR through the Companies Act, 2013, the Government of India made it mandatory for qualifying companies to contribute 2% of their average net profits towards CSR initiatives. This landmark move has catalyzed a wave of structured, transparent, and impactful CSR practices across industries—turning corporate contribution into a national development force.

Today, CSR is no longer viewed as just philanthropy but as a strategic pillar that aligns business goals with societal and environmental progress. As businesses evolve to become more purpose-driven, responsible, and transparent, the concepts of Corporate Social Responsibility and Corporate Sustainability have become critical to long-term value creation and stakeholder trust.

Sustainability and CSR are not isolated efforts—they are interconnected engines of change. Organizations embracing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are driving systemic impact across multiple fronts: education, environment, healthcare, livelihood, and inclusive growth.

The Bharat CSR & Sustainability Conclave & Awards is our flagship annual forum dedicated to celebrating and advancing this powerful movement. Now in its 5th edition, the conclave brings together India’s leading CSR champions, sustainability heads, impact strategists, regulatory bodies, and changemakers under one roof.

With thought-provoking panels, award recognitions, and knowledge-sharing sessions, the event is designed to spark open, genuine, and action-oriented conversations around responsible leadership, measurable impact, and scalable models for sustainable growth.

Join us in Bengaluru as we honour the organizations and leaders shaping India’s CSR future — transforming corporate intent into social innovation and environmental stewardship.
