The Genesis
​
CSR Good Book is the brainchild of Social Entrepreneurs Amit Sachdeva and Mugdha Arora. The book was conceptualized by Amit and Mugdha, who were looking for a book on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Business Sustainability in 2010 and after scanning through the book stores throughout the country and online book sellers, they could not find a single publication available on corporate social responsibility and business sustainability in Indian context.
They both felt the need of a publication, where one can study about social efforts and sustainable business practices taken up by organizations and at the same time can be a ready reckoner for business houses, students and scholars. They both felt that this publication is of relevance because it will advanced the public debate around CSR by acknowledging that “business functions by public consent, and its basic purpose is to serve constructively the needs of society.

The ides of the publications with industry leaders and stakeholders and their ides was well received by many leaders and changemakers of leading national and multinational corporations and nonprofit organizations like the House of TATA, GE, Ford, Citi, Canon, Bosch, National Panasonic, Aditya Birla Group, GE, JSW, Reliance Industries, Jindal Steel and Power, Adani, Ford Motors, Maruti Suzuki, Max India Foundation, JSL Foundation, GMR Varalakshmi Foundation and many more. The first edition of CSR Good Book was published in 2012.
Today after more than a decade and after 13 editions, CSR Good Book is an ideal publication, which companies across India now use to communicate their CSR efforts and their impact on the business, environment and community. The first-of-its-kind well-illustrated book gives detailed descriptions of social efforts and initiatives taken-up by leading Corporations, Corporate Foundations, Public Sector Enterprises and other Social Organizations.
