Description
Legal Matrix Publication LMP Practitioners Guide to Corporate Social Responsibility by CS Pammy Jaiswal
About the Book
Texts and guidance on corporate social responsibility (CSR) are abundant, both globally, and in India. Notably, the Indian framework for CSR is marked by its focus on spending, whereas global frameworks are focused on sustainability and responsibility. However, the inspiration for this book, and therefore, its notable feature, is that it fits the Indian concept of CSR against the larger backdrop of responsible business conduct. The book is not just an analysis of law and regulations: it is a complete implementation guide, enriched by the questions that have arisen over years of the authors’ consulting experience in the domain. The book also captures the subject in all its relevant dimensions – accounting and taxation included.
Additionally, the book will also be relevant for NGOs who house CSR activities, implementing agencies engaged as intermediaries, impact assessors, and the like. And above all, corporate law students will find the publication addressing their need of a lucid exposition of the subject.
