About Us

The Magazine

CSR TIMES – an exclusive monthly English magazine on Corporate Social Responsibility & Sustainability is promoted by ‘Brandworks Media Private Limited’. CSR TIMES covers news, interviews, information, facts, figures, and much more on CSR.

Launched in 2013, in a short period, CSR TIMES has become a niche magazine having subscribers pan India and overseas. At present, we have a print circulation of 20000 copies with a strong readership of 2,00,000, which includes a niche segment of its reader base and decision-making authorities. Currently, CSR TIMES is reaching top officials in Indian and Multinational Corporate Houses, PSUs, Govt. Agencies, Embassies, Ministries, and NGOs.

Organizations like GAIL, ONGC, OIL, Indian Army, Maruti Suzuki, TATA Motors, British Petroleum, CCD, et al, have received good mileage through their stories in CSR TIMES. Thus, CSR Times has proved to be a great medium to highlight the CSR work of various organizations with an ever-increasing readership.

Issues of CSR TIMES are eagerly awaited by its readers for the contents, which are rich, interesting, thought-provoking, and laid down in simple language. CSR TIMES is proud to have some talented writers and columnists who can capture a situation and illustrate it with their expressive writing abilities.

During its initial few years, the ‘First Step Foundation’ (FSF), a community-based organization working for the deprived sections of society, supported CSR TIMES. The FSF aims at establishing an egalitarian society in which there is no discrimination based on religion, caste, or sex, and which provides equal opportunities for people to grow and prosper. This non-profit organization works directly with people at the grassroots level and encourages them to take an active part in various welfare and development programs for the betterment of society.

CSR TIMES is gradually progressing in its pursuit to become a niche magazine on the subject and gives greater emphasis on CSR news from around the world, research-based articles, real-life events and experiences, facts and figures, and interviews.

CSR TIMES Mar 24 issue

Prime Objective

The idea behind this publication is not only to highlight the good work that PSUs, Corporates and NGOs are doing for the cause of society but also to provide a much needed platform to them to come together and bridge the gap between what needs to be done and how it can be done for the betterment of the society.

While NGOs can share their projects, the PSUs and Corporates can strategize their CSR initiatives around those projects. Apart from being a good knowledge resource on CSR, the CSR TIMES also aims at becoming a one-stop-shop for PSUs, Corporates and NGOs.  In its endeavour to work for a better society, CSR TIMES plans to encourage, promote and showcase the CSR Activities worldwide through its website and social media channels.

Training workshops/ Crash Courses on CSR, Project Development, CSR Consultation are also in the pipeline.

Editor's Message

CSR TIMES is not just a publication, it is a strong medium for everyone involved in Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility.  The future of CSR and Sustainability in India looks very bright. It will create many job opportunities and open up windows for the youngsters to take up CSR as a career. If the buzzword is any indication then there is a healthy interest in CSR and Sustainability by the companies and the stakeholders. Compulsion can be one thing, but for the real betterment of the society can happen if we do CSR willingly, honestly and religiously.

I hope this zeal continues. CSR TIMES in this context will continue to be a useful resource for many with its prompt reporting, analysis, sometimes critical; sometimes very critical look at CSR that is happening around. CSR TIMES has arrived. Readers have given us an overwhelming response which is so very motivating for us to continue with our endeavour of working towards a better society, a better India and a better world.

I extend my vote of thanks to everyone who is giving time and energy to read and appreciate CSR TIMES.

Thank you readers for all your feedback and recommendations. Thanks for inspiring us. Happy reading!
