CSR Strategy

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and social sustainability are no longer peripheral activities—they are central to business credibility, investor confidence, and community trust. At Social Stewards Pathfinders Pvt Ltd, we help organizations move beyond compliance-driven CSR to create strategies that are purposeful (aligned and material to business), measurable (in creating social capital), and sustainable (in building trust and transferring ownership to the beneficiaries).

• CSR Law Compliance & Strategic Alignment
  Advisory on compliance with Indian Companies Act Section 135, CSR Rules, and Schedule VII activities. We ensure CSR spends are legally compliant, aligned with sectoral impacts, national priorities, and materially relevant to business risks/impacts/goals.
• Integration with Global Frameworks
  Embedding CSR and sustainability within broader frameworks such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ISO 26000 Guidance on Social Responsibility, and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards. This positions organizations for global recognition and investor confidence.
• Implementation Support & Partnerships
  Beyond strategy, we act as implementation partners—supporting project rollout, partner selection (NGOs, social enterprises), monitoring systems, and field-based oversight. This ensures CSR projects are delivered effectively and not reduced to token compliance.
• Impact Assessment & Reporting
  Developing Social Return on Investment (SROI) models, IRECS Framework, baseline and endline studies, and third-party impact assessments. We also support Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR), ESG disclosures, and sustainability reports that are audit-ready and investor-facing.
