CSR in India: Help us lend wildlife a helping hand

Contributing to the conservation of wildlife and wild habitats is a wonderful way to allocate your company's mandatory CSR spend.

With the passage of the Companies Act, 2013, the mandate for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been formally introduced to the dashboard of the Boards of Indian companies. Schedule VII of Section 135, Point no. (iv) of the Act covers CSR spending on ensuring environmental sustainability, ecological balance, protection of flora and fauna, animal welfare, agroforestry, conservation of natural resources and maintaining quality of soil, air and water.

To know more about the precise nature in which you can get involved and how your CSR spend would be best allocated, contact Sahil Choksi, our Head - Philanthropy, at donations@wti.org.in.
