How Do I Create an Effective CSR Policy for a 400-Employee Manufacturing Company?

My company is a manufacturing organization with an employee strength of around 400. I have been assigned to prepare a CSR policy for our company. I request some help or tips in preparing the same.

It would be good to first conduct some research on Google itself. You should be able to find some CSR policies that companies follow on their websites, as they typically like to showcase their CSR initiatives to the public. These could include activities like blood donation drives, partnering with NGOs or orphanages, etc.

Of course, CSR initiatives in the office can include saving paper (no printouts), recycling water, planting trees around the office, etc.

CSR Initiatives for Your Company

Consider implementing the following CSR initiatives for your manufacturing organization:

- Blood donation drive
- Tree plantation
- Adopting schools and villages
- Scholarship programs for employees' children
- Mid-day meal programs
- Rainwater harvesting
- Health and hygiene awareness camps

You can also collaborate with NGOs like Goonj to set up a collection center for old items, which can be distributed among orphans.

It's a wide range of CSR. I suggest you refer to ISO 26000 or GRI. Both of them are common when companies write their CSR report.

You can find the CSR policy of TATA on Google. Alternatively, you can refer to MBA (HR) (part-time) fifth and sixth-year HR books to get a good idea about CSR. Like TATA, Reliance also has a CSR policy, which you can find online.

Thanks.
