- Abstract
Globally, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become more popular as an essential component of business strategy and a means of addressing societal and environmental challenges. In India, the CSR landscape has grown significantly after the enactment of the CSR law in 2013, with companies launching a wide range of CSR projects. This paper presents a thorough analysis of the top ten leading CSR spending companies in India encompassing various industries such as manufacturing, information technology, mining, finance and energy. These companies were identified based on their disclosed CSR spending. The research involved integrating qualitative assessment of CSR projects and quantitative analysis of financial data through secondary research. The quantitative analysis focused on evaluating the financial commitment of each company to CSR activities. The qualitative assessment examined the sectors and geographies targeted by these companies, providing insights into their strategic CSR priorities. The findings not only provide an overview of CSR spending in India today, but they also lay the groundwork for further studies into the evolving dynamics of corporate responsibility in India. The paper contributes valuable insights for businesses, policymakers and academics seeking a deeper understanding of CSR practices in the Indian context.
