As soon as the company act 2013 came in to force, every big scale company has embedded the corporate social responsibility and sustainability into their businesses. The act states that every company, irrespective of private or public, has a net worth of Rs 500 crore or more, total turnover of Rs 1,000 crore or more or net profit of Rs 5 crore or more, in any of the financial year needs to spend at least 2% on social welfare work.

This was the very cause which boomed the existence of CSR consultancy. Basically, CSR consultancies offer their services to corporate and help them to channelize their resources for the upliftment of society through CSR.

But, how should one select the appropriate consultancy to carry out their work. Let us see

·       Versatility

CSR is such a field which has various wings. Any company regardless it is a garment industry or automobile industry or any other industry, comes under the act should have to do CSR. Every company has its own social purposes and business model. So, it is important to get the services from a versatile consultancy. It should have experience in working with different business categories, corporations, organizations and different scale industries.

·       Experience

Though CSR consultancy needs enthusiasm, hard work and zeal in work but, it also needs vast experience to handle the situation. So, select a consultancy which is balanced.



·       Exposure

CSR is done in keeping a target audience and people in mind. It would be better if your consultancy could get opinions from different age group and gender of the targeted group.

·       Experience with social change

CSR is a social movement; it needs much more than academic qualification and professional experience. CSR consultancy should understand the need of the work and the social impact it would cause rather just filling gap between profit and purpose.

Nothing could be better than finding a consultant which could actually motivate you. It should inspire you for being an instrument of social development. This is the best approach towards CSR.
