Discussion Forum : How to measure the philanthropic impact of CSR ?
Most of the corporates indicate the impact of their work in terms of numbers. e.g. sponsorship of education of 100 000 children or microfinance to 3 lakh women. Is this the right way to measure the impact ? Should corporates alongwith the NGO partners start looking at the qualitative angle ? And how can we measure the effect of education of the child on her / his family, or on her / him ten years down the line ? All the views would be shared in the members section soon.

How to use CSRidentity.com ?
 If one looks at the challenges India faces issue wise and district wise, one can appreciate that the social and developmental canvas is large. And therefore corporates must invest in society. But calling it as CSR is myopic. The idea of CSRidentity.com is think CSR beyond philanthropy. Use the dropdowns on top to see the challenges, districts, CSR in business processes, CSR policies, various signatory issues, indices. Visit the CSR Tool Box to know CSR definitions, terminologies. We will also present Good Products, which are products / programmes and services which are good for corporates as well as communities.

CSRidentity.com plans to analyse CSR of 500 leading Indian corporates and global fortune 500 corporates based on our concept of a CSR Tree. The analysis is presented in a data format and can be searched based on the following parameters. You can use single parameter as well as multiple parameters.
Name of the company, industry, country, investment in philanthropic issues, CSR in business processes, CSR policies, signatory issues, ISO, indices, reports and stakeholder communication.

This will be useful for professionals and students for industry analysis, competitive analysis, understanding how various corporates have been using CSR in administration, advertising, finance...as well as which corporates in specific industries have policies on say sexual harassement or on HIV...similarly one can search corporates who have signed global compact or are signatories to GRI....

Special Feature on Climate Change
Climate change is clouded with claims, counterclaims and controversies. But no one denies the fact that climate has changed. And more importantly we have changed the climate. As a part of our social responsibility, we would be happy to run climate change campaigns across corporates, free. IndianNGOs.com, our partner in this programme, has already worked with TJSB on the climate change campaign, where 67001 from just Thane district took a pledge to be climate positive. To know about the campaign, mail to Datacentre@CSRidentity.com
