What is CSR – “Corporate Social Responsibility”

• Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a self-regulating

business model that helps a company be socially
accountable—to itself, its stakeholders, and the public. By
practicing corporate social responsibility, also
called corporate citizenship, companies can be conscious
of the kind of impact they are having on all aspects of
society, including economic, social, and environmental.
• To engage in CSR means that, in the ordinary course of
business, a company is operating in ways that
enhance society and the environment, instead of
contributing negatively to them.
CSR: Explanation
• Many other names are used to refer to CSR such as socially
responsible business, responsible business conduct, responsible
entrepreneurship, corporate citizenship, corporate
accountability or corporate sustainability.
• CSR is continuing commitment by businesses to behave
ethically & contribute to economic development while
improving the quality of life of the work force & their families,
local communities and the society at large.
• CSR requires companies to acknowledge that they should be
publicly accountable not only for their financial performance
but also for their social and environmental record.
• CSR encompasses the extent to which companies should
promote human rights, democracy, community improvement
and sustainable development objectives throughout the world.
• CSR is commitment of businesses to contribute to sustainable
economic development working with employees, their families,
the local community and society at large to improve their
quality of life in ways that are both for business and good for
international development.

CSR: Why should you choose SOLAR?
• To imagine life without electricity is almost impossible today.
And yet, the challenge India faces with respect to electricity is
formidable. About 300 million people lack electricity, while an
additional 100 million have less than 4 hours of electricity per
day, and possibly several million more suffer from an unreliable
power supply. Electricity, which we city dwellers consider a
necessity, is a luxury for a huge segment of the rural population
in India.
• As per the data in inforgraphics, India has been considered to
have the largest un-electrified population in the world. On
29th April 2018, the Modi government announced 100%
electrification of all inhabited villages in India. However,
electrification of villages does not translate into electrification
of households. According to the definition by the Union Power
Ministry, a village is said to be electrified if at least 10% of the
households in it have power connections. Hence, in spite of this
landmark announcement made by the government, data show
that there are still 31 million households without electricity.

CSR: Can something be done about it?
• Absolutely! Solar power generation is the answer to bring about this much-needed
change in our society. And through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), solar
energy can now reach every nook and cranny of India. Let me explain why solar
power projects have become the most sought-after CSR activity among leading
companies.
• One might assume that solar power projects come under the Environmental sector
alone. To clear this misconception, here are some examples of CSR solar projects
carried out by us under the various thematic areas mentioned in the figure.

• Education: Electricity can support education initiatives. In
rural areas where electricity is scarce, children often are
unable to study after sunset. Through our CSR projects, we
have provided rural households with solar home lighting kits,
with the help of which kids can now study after school hours
as well. In addition, we have also installed solar rooftop
systems in rural schools, providing them with uninterrupted
power supply.

• Healthcare: Globally, India has the largest number of people still defecating in
the open—more than 595 million individuals, including women and children.
Therefore there is a very high risk for microbial contamination of water, which is
the main cause of diarrhoea in children. Our drinking water and sanitation
projects have provided safe and pure drinking water to millions of people. The
benefits of this project include: safe water, better sanitation, rain water
harvesting, ground water recharging, biogas generation and solid waste
management. In addition, our solar lights have helped reduce the use of
kerosene lamps for lighting purposes in rural households, hence preventing the
inhalation of harmful fumes emitted by burning kerosene.

• Environment: Of course, with every single solar power
system installation we are helping preserve the environment
for the future generations. As it currently stands, solar
capacity installed by Nimbus alone can be expected to offset
over 1000 metric tons of CO2. To put things into perspective,
this is equivalent to the amount of CO2 absorbed by 122
acres of trees (approx. 85,400 trees) per year.

• Livelihood: Our solar projects have provided several employment

opportunities among the rural poor and urban poor classes of our
society. In addition we have impacted the livelihoods of farmers by
increasing their income from around Rs.30,000 to over Rs.1,00,000
through our irrigation and community farming projects

• Rural Development: With projects such as community farming, road lights, community water taps,
solar microgrids, solar lift irrigation, drinking water projects, etc, we have worked extensively
towards rural development.
