All India Management Association (AIMA) as the national apex body of management profession has been organizing an annual congregation of business leaders, civil society activists and academics since 2008; the Business Responsibility Summit. The Summit has become a prominent platform to deliberate on the need, relevance and ways of creating a new consciousness for businesses to conduct themselves in a responsible manner.
Event Details
Business responsibility has moved from being voluntary goodness to must-do requirement. The new Companies Act has made it mandatory for companies to spend a 2% of their net profits on CSR initiatives. In absence of expertise and experience in the domain, most of Indian companies will struggle to abide by the law. Outsourcing CSR may not be sustainable. Now, corporate boards need to embed CSR in the DNA of their companies.
The 6th Business Responsibility Summit presents 2 days of captivating deliberations and intellectual insights that would throw light on specific aspects of business action towards a sustainable future. The Summit will explore the challanges posed by the new CSR law and explore the different approches to aligning business with the mandated role as change agent.
