Transparency and Accountability. They should not engage in business
practices that are abusive, unfair, corrupt or anti-competitive.

hygienic and humane and which upholds the dignity of employees.

Implementation Guidance:

1. The CSR policy of the business entity should provide for an
implementation strategy which should include identification of
projects/activities, setting measurable physical targets with timeframe,
organizational mechanism and responsibilities, time schedules and
monitoring. Companies may partner with local authorities, business
associations and civil society/non-government organizations. They
may influence the supply chain for CSR initiative and motivate
employees for voluntary effort for social development. They may evolve
a system of need assessment and impact assessment while
undertaking CSR activities in a particular area. Independent evaluation
may also be undertaken for selected projects/activities from time to
time.

2. Companies should allocate specific amount in their budgets for CSR
activities. This amount may be related to profits after tax, cost of
planned CSR activities or any other suitable parameter.

3. To share experiences and network with other organizations the
company should engage with well established and recognized
programs/platforms which encourage responsible business
practices and CSR activities. This would help companies to improve on
their CSR strategies and effectively project the image of being socially
responsible.

4. The companies should disseminate information on CSR policy,
activities and progress in a structured manner to all their stakeholders
and the public at large through their website, annual reports, and other
communication media.
