ABOUT THE SUMMIT

For the past 13 years,  CSR TIMES has been a steadfast advocate for recognizing and fostering social endeavors. The eagerly anticipated 13th CSR TIMES Summit and Awards, scheduled for August 2026, will once again celebrate organisations and individuals who have demonstrated exceptional dedication to giving back to society, positively impacting lives, fostering inclusive growth, and indulging responsibly in business practices. The 13th edition of the National CSR & ESG Summit and Awards is anchored on the theme “Role of Responsible Business for Inclusive Bharat”. It aligns closely with India’s national development priorities towards Viksit Bhrat @2047 and global commitments such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in areas like quality education, gender equality, clean energy, decent work, and propagating peace. Driven by the ethos of “Leave No One Behind,” of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the 13th edition continues to pave the way for a more equitable, sustainable, and inclusive future for all.

ABOUT THE AWARDS

CSRT Awards logo

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) embodies a dedication to societal well-being. Since 2014, CSR TIMES has honored commendable organizations and individuals for their outstanding CSR initiatives.

CSR continues to be a catalyst in bringing underprivileged sections onto equal footing with the rest of society through key initiatives in education, skill development, healthcare, sustainable livelihoods, economic inclusion, and infrastructure development, etc. to effect institutional welfare of self-reliant India.

Through the CSR TIMES Awards, we inspire a culture of responsibility and purpose, recognizing organisations that are framing responsibility not as obligation but as a moral architecture; a covenant between enterprise and humanity, where profit finds its truest meaning only when it flows outward. We remain committed to ensuring that genuine CSR efforts receive the acknowledgment they deserve.
