CSR Policy DesignS Paradigm Consultants aims to help client understand, incorporate and
appreciate role of Corporate Social Responsibility in corporate strategy and
decision making. We help clients develop a CSR policy that is socially relevant,
transparent and accountable and dovetails the corpora�on business with
stakeholder community. We strive to develop loca�on-specific and target-
specific solu�ons that engage stakeholders and can be replicated, scaled and
sustainable as well.
To help develop this CSR Policy, S Paradigm uses the following approach:
Understand company’s Vision | Mission: this is extremely cri�cal to know
and understand clients’ business and it helps appreciate why they would like
to make social contribu�on
Corporate Strategy: this is the crux and founda�on of client CSR policy and
can influence; hence it’s important that there is an alignment between them
and is best done using a detailed market research
Knowing client: We reach out to the organiza�on across different
management levels to know importance and relevance of CSR in business
opera�ons with mee�ngs & interviews
Dra� Policy: based on the above informa�on & knowledge of relevant CSR
regula�ons and understanding of industry | sector-specific issues, a dra�
CSR policy is developed for client inputs & feedback. There is an emphasis to
engage employees and encourage volunteerism as it helps get faster
internal buy-in and apprecia�on of client’s need for social interven�on
Final CSR Policy: A�er taking into cognizance client feedback, S Paradigm
will design policy framework that help client get approval from the CSR
commi�ee and ensure alignment with guidelines issued by Ministry of
Corporate Affairs through Companies Act 2013.

S Paradigm uses the following process in development of a CSR Policy:
Need Assessment Survey: a dip-s�ck survey gives an idea of stakeholder
community needs
Project Design: Use a Result-based framework that aligns with Corporate
Strategy since this brings together responsibility, accountability and employee
volunteerism
Risk Analysis: Every client needs to know how to iden�fy, mi�gate and manage
risks that are associated with project and developed a calibrated risk
management matrix
Budget Alloca�on: Based on Needs Assessment, clients need to develop
specific projects and ac�vi�es and accordingly allocate budgets for their
implementa�on
Monitoring: All CSR ac�vi�es need to be treated as independent project with
periodic monitoring, evalua�on and also conduct Impact Assessment to ensure
compliance with allocated budgets
Stakeholder Engagement: Iden�fica�on of stakeholders and their issues &
concerns is extremely cri�cal to develop an engagement plan
CSR Report: Clients need to develop a mechanism that CSR projects and
ac�vi�es are documented to make regular reports that are updated on website
and published to get media a�en�on
The en�re process of CSR Policy Design & Development includes colla�on of
informa�on, analysis and presenta�on aimed at helping clients get desired results
