Corporate Social Responsibility: Why It Matters And How It Can Increase Brand Value Moving in towards principles
Rajesh Tiwari Publisher rt@iccsr.org
CSR plays a role in the overall perception of a company, across emotional differentiating drivers such as a sense of trust, integrity, and contributing to a good cause
We stumbled upon an article published in Straightline as WhitePaper by Emila Skrinar and it was interesting to note that according to Henry David Thoreau, “Goodness is the only investment that never fails.” Many global brands demonstrate that they take these words seriously. They are also running their businesses more efficiently and sustainably -developing better, smarter business practices that show their concern for shareholders as well as their own communities. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) can be a broad umbrella that includes many activities such as community volunteer work, carbon footprint reduction or improvement, enforcement of a high standard of ethics, and a focus on quality of life improvement programs for employees and their families. The benefits of CSR’s impact are several. CSR positively impacts customers and employees, lifting and enhancing existing performance on traditional reputation drivers such as perception, performance, fairness, products, services, and innovation. Secondly, CSR lifts drivers for the owners and shareholders, who have recognized that CSR leads to better, smarter business. Thirdly, CSR attracts top tier talent by increasing positive brand perception, and it builds long lasting roots in local and regional communities, further improving the organic talent pool.
Why CSR matters to your brand A Reputation Institute study discovered that “people’s willingness to buy, recommend, work for, and invest in a company is driven 60% by their perceptions of the company, and only 40% by their perceptions of the products.” The study analyzed seven dimensions of corporate reputation including:
workplace, governance, citizenship, financial performance, leadership, products and services, and innovation. Three of the seven reputation dimensions – workplace, governance and citizenship – fall into the CSR category. By that measure, forty-two percent (42%) of people’s perception of a company is based on their view of the firm’s CSR practices. Accordingly the perception of a firm’s CSR activity accounts for twenty-five percent (25%)of people’s overall opinion on doing business with that company.
CSR: Moving consumers from talk to purchase While we cannot definitively say that CSR is always a direct driver of revenue, it positively influences other important performance metrics – perception, preference and premium price.
Perception CSR plays a role in the overall perception of a company, across emotional differentiating drivers such as a sense of trust, integrity, and contributing to a good cause. Surveyed on their relative perception of social factors (i.e. workplace environment, governance, and citizenship) the general public tends to favor companies in consumer-oriented sectors that practice CSR. This means that there is certainly a B2C value-proposition to be made by CSR. People may not necessarily act indirect response to CSR initiatives, but CSR can influence Public perception of companies as compared to their competitors and other industries. People want to feel good about what they buy, and behaving in an environmentally sustainable way often creates a halo effect around all purchases from a socially responsible Company.

Tata Trusts And Harvard University’s South Asia Institute Collaborate To Create Social And Economic Empowerment In India
T
ata Trusts and Harvard University South Asia Institute (SAI) have embarked on a new collaborative journey in knowledge creation and capacity building for social and economic empowerment in India. The 18-month research project titled, ‘Livelihood Creation in India through Social Entrepreneurship and Skill Development’ is the first step in this direction. The project will focus on three key areas including rural livelihood creation (emphasis on the handicrafts and handloom sectors); educational, social and economic empowerment of women; and science and technology-based interventions for poverty alleviation. With field visits scheduled to begin in October 2015, the project will bring together diverse knowledge bases that will contribute to India’s development goals. The purpose of the project will be achieved through research with over 150 institutions across 15 states of India, 5 workshops with 100 participating NGOs, and 20 webinars involving Harvard faculty and subject experts from India. SAI-published literature and cases from this project will serve as a resource for Indian institutions and government bodies. These will be made available on the SAI website atsouthasiainstitute. harvard.edu. A key component of the project is the opportunity for budding social entrepreneurs and institutions in India to apply for social innovation grants totalling INR 50 lakhs that will spur interventions and scale up existing initiatives resulting in greater impact in select geographies.
Emphasizing the relevance of this collaboration, R. Venkataramanan, Executive Trustee, Tata Trusts said, “Under this collaboration with Harvard University’s South Asia Institute, we will develop entrepreneurship opportunities that will help provide sustainable prosperity to the local communities. This approach combined with Tata Trusts philanthropic vision will help narrow down the existing gap between the demand and supply of skilled labour.” “The long-term objective of the collaboration is to combine India’s and Harvard’s knowledge resources to benefit the disadvantaged sections of society. Management thinkers, legal scholars, scientists, technologists, human development and public policy experts from Harvard will partner with government and academic institutions, NGOs, civil society organizations and philanthropic foundations in India. Harvard will work with these change agents and seek out ways to add value to the work they are doing,” said Tarun Khanna, Director, SAI. The Tata Trusts are among India’s oldest, non-sectarian philanthropic organizations that work in several areas of community development. Tata Trusts seek to be catalysts in development through giving grants to institutions and executing large projects in the areas of Natural Resources Management, Rural Livelihoods, Urban Livelihoods & Poverty, Education, Enhancing Civil Society and Governance, Health and Arts and Culture. Over the last many decades, the Tata Trusts have facilitated various development
projects in the areas of skill development, women’s empowerment, technology and education. The skill development project led to improved employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for the youth. It has supported organizations that cater to this area through creation of a residential course model based on a comprehensive package of activities. These include completion of secondary education, life skills, vocational training and personality development. Founded in 2003 to further Harvard University’s engagement with South Asia, SAI is a university-wide research institute. SAI connects faculty and students with regional partners and advances interdisciplinary scholarship on South Asia. Over the past decade, SAI has built an extensive network of stakeholders, significantly impacting social entrepreneurship and livelihood creation in the region. SAI’s network includes over 1,700 Harvard alumni from across various disciplines who lead organizations in the public and private sectors in India, and over 150 faculty members who focus their cutting-edge research and teaching on issues directly related to South Asia. This project is led by Tarun Khanna, Director, Harvard University South Asia Institute; Jorge Paulo Lemann Professor, Harvard Business School; and Chairman, NITI Aayog Expert Committee on Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Government of India. Shashank Shah, Postdoctoral Fellow, Harvard University South Asia Institute; and Visiting Scholar, Harvard Business School will serve as the Project Director. December 2015 | CSR Today | 5

odafone India, one of India’s leading telecom service providers and Grow-Trees.com, the exclusive Indian Planting Partner for United Nation’s Environment Program’s Billion Tree Campaign, today announced the successful completion of Phase 1 and 2 of their joint project to improve the wildlife corridor between Kanha Pench wildlife reserves by planting 200,000 trees on 200 hectares of forest land. 14 | CSR Today | December 2015
Launched in August 2014, this project will by next year have a total of 300,000 trees planted over 300 hectares of forest land between Kanha Tiger Sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh and Pench in Maharashtra. In phase 1, 100,000 saplings were planted near Rata village last year and in phase 2, another 100,000 saplings were planted near Devdara village earlier this year. Both the villages are located in Mandla district.
The successful completion of Phase 1 and 2 was formally announced by Manish Kumar, Business Head – Madhya Pradesh & Chhattisgarh, Vodafone India and Bikrant Tiwary, CEO, Grow-Trees.com, at a special press meet organised in Jabalpur recently. Sharing details about Vodafone’s support to the project, Manish Kumar – Business Head, MPCG, Vodafone India, said, “Vodafone India is committed to supporting sustainable initiatives that benefit all – the organisation, the community and the environment. Madhya Pradesh is endowed with rich and diverse forest resources. With 9 national parks and 25 wildlife sanctuaries, almost 25% of the state is covered with forests. With this initiative, we are able to add to its green cover, support the conservation of its flora and fauna and facilitate habitat connectivity in tiger breeding areas. In addition, we will also create livelihood opportunities for local communities, enable reforestation and offset carbon footprint generated by our offices every year for 3-years.” This project will create about 25,000 workdays of direct jobs mainly for women and tribals inhabiting the area in addition to supporting several allied livelihood generating activities such as farming, fruit and hon-

Seven Questions That Will Shape The Future Of Sustainability Here’s our current list, which covers climate change, European turmoil, gender empowerment, manufacturing, citizens and better scaling of innovations by david bent
I
t’s a challenge for everyone: Where should I focus my effort? What’s worth trying now, and what do I need to prepare for? To answer these questions, you need to be scanning what’s changing in the world. Here at Forum for the Future, we’re just concluding our annual scanning cycle. Our Futures Centre, based in Singapore, scans what people are talking about, what they are innovating and what is being financed on sustainability solutions. We feed in our experiences with leading companies around the world. And we take a view – part analysis, part instinct – on what will be more important on sustainable business the next two years. Here’s our current list, which covers climate change, European turmoil, gender empowerment, manufacturing, citizens and better scaling of innovations. Each trend also includes a question for your business.
What do you think?
1
Sustainable Development Goals: the new framing device? The SDGs were announced only late in the year but the difference is noticeable. Unlike the Millennium Development Goals, the
20 | CSR Today | December 2015
SDGs are universal and every country is required to say how they will meet the goals. There’s no guarantee, but we expect the SDGs will be the new framing device. At first, leaders will be expected to say how their sustainability plans align with the SDGs. Then people will realize that business-as-usual will not be enough. Your key question now: How is your business transforming markets so the SDGs are met?
2
Extreme climate change more likely Climate science keeps getting more certain that impacts will be more severe than earlier projections suggested.
At the time of writing, the COP21 United Nations climate talks are just over a month away. The rumors are of a global deal that is a step forward, but still well short of keeping warming below 2 degrees Celsius since pre-industrial levels. The best we can hope for is a deal which is a stepping stone to the deal that we really need. There is some good news, however. A renewables revolution is underway, with an 80 percent drop in price of solar PV in the last five years. Elon Musk is making energy storage sexy. Community energy projects are making disturbed renewables a reality in pockets. Even so, it’s likely people will start concluding it’s too little, too late. We can expect talk of geoengineering and carbon capture and storage to rise, along with positioning gas as a bridging technology (something we fear will slow diffusion on the renewable technologies we need). Your key questions now: How would you have to transform your business strategy for extreme climate change? How are you riding the energy transformation?

The Ministry of Shipping, with DGLL, has drawn up an ambitious programme for developing tourism in at 78 Lighthouses in the first phase under Public Private Partnership (PPP). The 78 Lighthouses identified are in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Lakshadweep, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, West Bengal and Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
“The land adjacent to these lighthouses would have hotels, resorts, viewing gallery, maritime museums and heritage museums, adventure sports facilities, thematic restaurants, souvenir shops, LASER shows, spa & rejuvenation centers, amphitheaters and allied tourism facilities to attract the tourists, subject to viability and necessary clearances,” according to Capt A M Surej, Director General of Lighthouses and Lightships. The DGLL has already invited Request for Qualifications (RFQ) from prospective and potential developers for eight lighthouses at Aguada (Goa), Chandrabhaga (Odisha), Mahabalipuram, Kanya Kumari and Muttom (Tamil Nadu), Kadalur Point (Thikkodi, Kerela), Kanhoji Angre and Sunk Rock (Maharashtra) and Minicoy (Lakshadweep). An Expression of Interest (EOI) has also been issued by DGLL for another 70 lighthouses. To invoke greater interest of public and private players, the Ministry of Shipping has organized three Road shows at Kochi, Vizag and Chennai. “All over the world lighthouses enthrall tourists with their scenic and serene surroundings and rich maritime heritage. In India there is a vast tourism potential, which has largely remained untapped”, said the

Located 108 kms away from downtown Mumbai and 120 kms away from Pune and at a height of 2,570 feet – in the Karjat tehsil of Raigad district, it is the smallest hill station of India. Matheran, which means “forest on the forehead” is an eco-sensitive region, declared by the Ministry of Environ-
ment and Forest of Government of India – and is Asia’s only automobile-free hill station. One can do a lot of things here – walk, trek, do some mountaineering and rock climbing, valley crossing, night trails, bird watching and so on. It took Rainbow Adventures – a group for nature education and conservation – more than a year to document Matheran. They have come out with a book ‘Matheran: A Practical Guide’. “There are some books about Matheran, but this is for the first time we have come out with a complete book. It has its history, geography, wildlife, heritage, market places, its people and so on,” says Yogesh Chavan, who is an acupressure therapist and yoga trainer. Chavan along with Shailendra Patil and Sunil Patil, who also run a website – www.rainbowgroups.com. “The book or the guide helps anyone in successfully plan and execute trip to Matheran, enabling them to distribute time well between sightseeing, travel, shopping, eating and resting,” he said, adding that the guide has been planned in such a way that it caters to every segment – be it a common

China’s Bottled Water Industry To Exploit Asia’s Water Tower The Tibet government wants massive expansion of the bottled water industry by tapping the Himalayan glaciers, but the environmental stakes are high.
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau – known as Asia’s water tower – is the source of the continent’s major rivers that provide a lifeline for China and other parts of Asia
T
ibet wants to bottle up much more of the region’s water resources, despite shrinking glaciers and the impact that exploitation of precious resources would have on neighbouring countries. This week the Tibet Autonomous Region’s government released a 10-year plan to encourage the massive expansion of the
32 | CSR Today | December 2015
bottled water industry in the ecologically fragile region. The target is to build 5 million cubic metres of bottled water production capacity by 2020. Since Tibet produced 153,000 cubic metres of water in 2014, according to Xinhua – this is indeed a huge jump. Water in Tibet is abundant and so much cheaper than in other parts of China. Water
bottled upstream among snow-capped peaks is also perceived as pure, commanding a premium. This has led to a huge influx of companies hoping to cash in on the region’s water resources. Though it only makes up a very small proportion of China’s annual bottled water production, such premium water is seen as the new point of growth for the country’s booming bottled water industry. But tapping glaciers will come at a huge cost to Tibet’s fragile environment, warned China Water Risk’s recent report “Bottled Water in China – Boom or Bust?”. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau – known as Asia’s water tower – is the source of the continent’s major rivers that provide a lifeline for China and other parts of Asia. In the last two decades, China has become the world’s largest bottled water consumer and a major producer. However, with per capita consumption 19 per cent lower than global average, the market is expected to continue to boom. Even if China reaches the consumption level of Hong Kong, the market scale would be four times larger than today’s. In 2012, China produced 55.6 million cubic metres of packaged water.
