8 An introduction
9 Began in the early 1990s in UK. The Cadbury Report, 1992 in UK became a pioneering reference code for stock markets. The Blue Ribbon Committee set up in the U.S. in 1998 by New York Stock Exchange and National Association of Securities Dealers studied the effectiveness of audit committees and provided recommendations for improvement.
10 In 2002 the Sarbanes Oxley Act, passed in response to major corporate scandals, is considered to be one of the most significant. The OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ) Principles 1999 and 2004 reflect global consensus regarding the critical importance of corporate governance.
11 Corporate governance measures include appointing independent directors. Placing constraints on management power and ownership concentration. Ensuring proper disclosure of financial information and executive compensation.
12 1 India has a long corporate history evolving from the enactment of its first Companies Act in 1850, but corporate governance assumed importance in India only in Interestingly, the first initiative in India, in this direction was voluntary, taken by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). 3 It adopted a desirable code of corporate governance which despite being voluntary found quite a few takers among corporates in India. 4 The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the Indian market regulator, set up the Kumar Mangalam Birla Committee in 1999 to suggest measures to improve corporate governance.
13 5 SEBI, on the recommendations of the Committee, released its code of corporate governance on a standard-rule basis compulsory for all the listed companies operating in India. 6 The code of corporate governance is being implemented in India as part of the Listing Agreement with the stock exchange. 7 Clause 49 was revised in 2005 on the basis of the recommendations of the Narayana Murthy Committee. So, at present Revised Clause 49 is relevant.
14 CSR can mean different things to different people: For an employee it can mean fair wages, no discrimination, acceptable working conditions etc. For a shareholder it can mean making responsible and transparent decisions regarding the use of capital. For suppliers it can mean receiving payment on time. For customers it can mean delivery on time, etc. For local communities and authorities it can mean taking measures to protect the environment from pollution. For non-governmental organisations and pressure groups it can mean disclosing business practices and performance
15 Corporate citizenship denotes the extent to which businesses meet the legal, ethical, economic and voluntary responsibilities placed on them by their stakeholders. The benefits of good corporate citizenship include: A stable socio-political-legal environment for business as well as enhanced competitive advantage through better corporate reputation and brand image. Improved employee recruitment, retention and motivation, improved stakeholder relations and a more secure environment in which to operate.
16 CSR is pursued by businesses to balance their economic, environmental and social objectives while at the same time addressing stakeholder expectations and enhancing shareholder value.
17 Corporate Social Responsibility Economic Responsibilities Legal Responsibilities Ethical Responsibilities Discretionary Responsibilities
18 Common CSR policies include: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to operating a business in a manner that accounts for the social and environmental impact created by the business. Adoption of internal controls reform in the wake of Enron and other accounting scandals; Commitment to diversity in hiring employees and barring discrimination; Management teams that view employees as assets rather than costs; High performance workplaces that integrate the views of line employees into decision- making processes; Adoption of operating policies that exceed compliance with social and environmental laws; Advanced resource productivity, focused on the use of natural resources in a more productive, efficient and profitable fashion
19 Increased Stakeholder Activism Proliferation of Codes, Standards, Indicators and Guidelines Accountability Throughout the Value Chain Transparency and Reporting Convergence of CSR and Governance Agenda Growing Investor Pressure and Market-Based Incentives Advances in Information Technology Pressure to Quantify CSR Return on Investment
20 1 2 3 Companies implement CSR by putting in place internal management systems that generally promote : Adherence to labour standards by them as well their business partners; Respect for human rights; 4 Protection of the local and global environment; 5 Reducing the negative impacts of operating in conflict zones; 6 Avoiding bribery and corruption and; 7 Consumer protection.
