India's private giving: unpacking domestic philanthropy and CSR
Room: BB3
Description
After four decades of discussions on corporate social responsibility (CSR), new regulations in India have made CSR into a public policy: the Indian Companies Act of 2013 mandates Indian corporations to fund areas that are crucial for the development – beyond their core business. After 6 years of this regulation, the panel will unpack the priorities of domestic philanthropy and CSR in India building upon the recent report by the OECD Centre on Philanthropy and insights from the members of the OECD Network of Foundations Working for Development (netFWD) and the OECD Emerging Markets Network (EMnet).
