CSR Projects under ESG Framework
In India, Corporate Social Responsibility, mandated under Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, requires eligible companies to spend at least 2% of their average net profit of the preceding three financial years on specified CSR activities outlined in Schedule VII. The ESG framework provides a broader lens through which companies can assess their impact and risks across environmental, social, and governance factors. Integrating ESG principles into CSR projects ensures that these initiatives are not only compliant but also strategically aligned with global sustainability goals and contribute to long-term value creation. Ecopreneure brings a wealth of experience in implementing grassroots development projects, environmental conservation, skill development, etc. We have a strong network of local partners and a deep understanding of the social and environmental landscape in India.
