2. CORPORATE SOCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY
It is a form of self-regulation , integrated into a
business model of a firm.

The concept came into prominence in the late
1960s and early 1970s.

This idea was mentioned popularly in 'strategic
management:a stakeholders approach' by
R. Edward Freeman in 1984.


3. TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE
 PEOPLE – Relates to fair business
practices toward community and
region where corporate conducts
it's business

People,planet and profit
also known as the triple bottom
line, are words that are
practiced and realized in every
move made by an organisation.
 PLANET – Refers to sustainable
practices .For example,abstaining
from production of weapons ,toxic
chemicals,batteries with dangerous
heavy metals.
 PROFIT – it Is the economic value
created by the organisation after
deducting the cost of all inputs,
including the cost of capital tied
up.thisdiffers from traditional
accounting deficiencies of profit.

&paperboards business from
renwable plantations cultivated by
tribals and farmers on their private

extensive R&D to create clonal
saplings when apart from being
disease resistant , grow much
faster and in harsher conditions.
A large number of tribals and
marginal farmers have benefitted
by growing these pulpwood
saplings on thair private
wastelands. ITC's paperboards
business is a willimg buyer of their
produce,whist the growers are free
to sell to the highest bidders in
open market.
Recently,itcs social forestry project in
andhra pradesh was registered
under the clean development
mechanism of the UN Framework
Convention on climate change.the
carbon credits earned will also he
shared with the tribals and
farmers,enabling them to
participate in an international
carbon-market mechanism.
The ITC's afforestation programme
has been one of the very
succrssfull initiatives til date..thus
greening 125000 hectares and
providing over 56 million person
days of employment.
