Indian Firms Allocate 8.4% of CSR Spending to Environment in FY 2023-24: Report
Indian companies spent approximately Rs 17,377 crore on environmental Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) over the past decade, accounting for 8.4% of total CSR expenditure in FY 2023-24, according to a Sattva Consulting report. While spending has increased since pandemic lows, it remains concentrated among a few firms and sectors with high pollution intensity allocate a smaller share. Key focus areas include water management, renewable energy, and biodiversity, though climate-vulnerable districts receive limited funding. The report highlights the need for strategic investment to meet India's climate goals.
