That’s why it’s key that your brain has time to
rest and recharge. Thus we should be a bit extra cautious, after we do them for the primary few weeks.

Indeed, and actually, working in collaboration at the earliest stage possible means that we can be more creative with budgets and funding. One of the aims is to inspire both stakeholders and communities so that all feel a sense of ‘ownership’ and therefore a willingness to invest and get involved.

Thanks for your comment Florian.
Financing is one of the aspects that we need state run or even private players to build such projects. The final responsibility has to rest on someone. As Kate mentions in her article – if local community is also brought in as a stakeholder during the planning stage, a lot can improve.

Still you need the ‘big guys’ to finance and implement locals’ vision of how a public place should be designed. Only if the top down AND bottom up parties find a way to work together constructively and guided by a vision of social inclusiveness and healthy living will there be change for the better.

Comment on Why Pavan Sukhdev thinks the mandatory 2% CSR spend is short-sighted by kartgupta

The 2% clause of the new companies bill does not make it compulsary to spend. It only advises and if you don;t spend you just need to state why. It is not a complete solution and may annoy some people but it is a step in the right direction and will get companies talking about this atleast. More eveloved oragnizations can keep doing the good work and try not to get annoyed

Thanks for your comment Rajat. After been to several sustainability conferences, I found out that we are all speaking the right language with the right ideas about sustainability – what it is and what it should do and how it can be embedded within the business model. But when regulations like these come, they annoy the businesses. Though you’re right in pointing out about consolidation – it can perhaps be a good starting point but not an end in itself.

I agree on the points raised by Mr Sukhdev -particularly on the approach to CSR in a new paradigm. However, in India and also globally, its been seen that regulations tend have an impact in consolidation and bringing in the focus . The madate will bring in new comanies under the fold -who were fence sitters and were contemplating how to go about it -now they need to dive and learn swimming. For the biggies, they were doing it anyway-only now theu need to look at it from a little change mindset. But to me it seems , it brings in a big push for the skills development and livelihood as estimate says 25000 _ companies will be under the fold with a committment spend of over 10k crore INR into the system. Need is -after what Min of Cor Affairs has done, Mr Ramadorai and Dr Narendra Jadav to come together and create a CSR framework which will help align the corp objectives with the needs of the sustainability . SOPs should be given to bring in non renewal energy, green skills and get the 2% corpus to good use or like STerlite industry-whose Business objective it itself detrimental to environmental-how does 2% of mandated CSR help?
