I had the pleasure to meet Urvashi at AVPN Conference that was recently held in Singapore.

CSR is too often confused with charity. No doubt charity or philanthropic efforts are part of it but actually the concept is much broader.Shared Value can help: it encourages companies to pursue innovative market based strategy and innovation that can address persistent problems faced by the humanity. Clearly profit has a great role in it but it is not the only factor.

Charity and philanthropy although representing only a part of the “picture”, still have a dominating role in the much broader concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) .Marketing considerations must be taken into account if a company decides to step in the way NCELL has.

The Code is of good value and well reflects, although partially, key tenants from the international tools related to CSR. If implemented, it can offer a pathway to generate trust among citizens and society
