Sound and Light Social Ventures - A Global Media Resource, Research, Rating & Consultancy Network (Focused on Indian Social Sector) The world where Brands not only serve the customers but help create businesses which are championing the cause of equality, justice, compassion, progress, hope, health & peace. So far, Indian Philanthropy has looked at rather ad-hoc giving & focus on direct interventions to address need gaps. While the evolution was already happening towards a more strategic & long term approach towards philanthropy, the revised company law mandate is set to give huge impetus to the domain. This landmark Act has put India at the top of the chart, making it one of the first nations to have social welfare spending as part of company statute, by law. At SLSV, we recognise the PARADIGM shift where CSR has evolved from being charity & liability to a sound Business Opportunity, from a back room function to a boardroom function. We look at CSR holistically as a tool of ‘value creation’. To bring about social change while creating brand value, integrating & involving the key stakeholders.
