CSR Implementation & ESG Advisory Services
for Lasting Impact
We help companies do good — for people, for the planet, and for business. Whether it's meeting legal CSR requirements or creating real community impact, we guide you every step of the way.
The Triple Bottom Line
Good businesses are measured not just by profit, but by the impact they have on people and the planet. These three areas work together to make a company truly responsible.
Economic
Companies that invest in CSR often become more trusted, attract better talent, and grow stronger over time. Doing good is also good for the bottom line.
Environmental
How a company affects nature — through energy use, waste, water, or pollution. Taking care of the environment is no longer optional; it's what customers and regulators expect.
Social
The real-world difference a company makes — in its community, for its employees, and for society. This is what people remember most about a brand.
Key Drivers of CSR Adoption
Strategic CSR & ESG Advisory
CSR — or Corporate Social Responsibility — is simply about companies doing good beyond just making a profit. It means caring about the people around you, the environment, and the communities where you operate. We help businesses of all sizes figure out how to do this well.
CSR in India has grown far beyond just donations and charity. Today it includes building institutions, supporting local communities, and running programmes that make a lasting difference. We handle everything — from understanding what's needed on the ground, to planning, executing, and measuring the impact of your CSR work.
When your company is seen doing genuine good, people notice. Customers trust you more, employees feel proud to work for you, and your brand becomes one that people want to support. We help you get there.
Our team has helped some of India's biggest names — Adani, Tech Mahindra, HDFC, Wells Fargo and more — build CSR programmes that actually work on the ground, from small local projects to large national initiatives.
By law, CSR is mandatory if your company has:
If your company meets any of the above, you must spend at least 2% of your average net profit (from the last 3 years) on approved CSR activities every year.

JBSI Holistic CSR Approach
1. Needs Assessment
We first go to the community and understand what they actually need — so your money goes where it matters most.
2. CSR Planning
We create a clear, practical plan tailored to your company's goals, budget, and the causes you care about.
3. Implementation Roadmap
You get a step-by-step action plan so there's no confusion about what happens when, and who does what.
4. CSR Audits
We check that your CSR activities are being done correctly, honestly, and in line with government rules.
5. Capacity Building
We train your team and your partner organisations so CSR projects run smoothly without constant hand-holding.
6. Impact Assessments
We show you — in plain numbers and stories — the difference your CSR work has made in people's lives.
7. Monitoring & Evaluation
We keep track of progress and flag issues early, so your projects stay on course and deliver real results.
8. Participatory Programs
We involve the people you're trying to help in the process — because the best programmes are built with communities, not just for them.
Aligning Your CSR with Global Goals
The United Nations has set 17 goals for a better world — from ending poverty to protecting the environment. Most companies run their CSR programmes separately from these goals, missing a big opportunity. We help you connect the two, so your CSR work contributes to a bigger picture and gets recognised globally. This means your company can:
Work with us and your CSR programmes will not only help people in India — they'll be part of a global movement for a better world.
Stay Compliant & Stay Safe
Under Indian law (Companies Act, 2013), larger companies are legally required to spend on CSR activities every year. This isn't optional — and getting it wrong can lead to penalties, audits, or even fraud risks if funds are not properly tracked and reported.
Many companies treat CSR as a box-ticking exercise and end up spending money with little to show for it — or worse, on activities that don't qualify. We help you avoid these pitfalls and make sure every rupee is spent correctly, documented properly, and makes a real difference.
Not sure if you're at risk? Talk to us. We'll review your current CSR setup, flag any gaps, and help you build a clear plan to stay compliant and do good at the same time.

What does end-to-end CSR implementation include under the Companies Act 2013?
It covers the full cycle: needs assessment, CSR planning and roadmap, on-ground programme execution, CSR audits, impact assessment and quantification, and alignment with the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals — helping companies move from compliance to measurable community impact.
Is my company legally required to spend on CSR?
Under Section 135 of the Companies Act 2013, companies meeting the prescribed net worth, turnover or net profit thresholds must spend at least 2% of their average net profits on CSR. We help you understand your applicability and deploy that budget for genuine, compliant impact.
What is the difference between CSR advisory and CSR implementation?
Advisory is the strategy, compliance and planning layer; implementation is running the programmes on the ground. JBSI does both — advising on your CSR roadmap and executing projects through our field teams and community partners, with audits and impact reporting.
How does JBSI measure and report CSR impact?
We build measurement frameworks upfront, track outputs and outcomes against SDG-aligned indicators, run periodic assessments to refine projects, and provide credible impact reports you can share with your board and stakeholders.
