About the Report

The ‘India CSR Outlook Report (ICOR), an annual research publication of NGOBOX, presents an in-depth analysis of CSR spend of big companies in previous financial year. The 2017 report is third such annual publication after 2015 and 2016. The report visualises a few important curves of CSR landscapes in India, entirely based on the actual CSR data of companies.

This report is pre-cursor to the India’s largest CSR forum ‘IndiaCSR Summit & Exhibition’ that is hosted by NGOBOX annually.

The 2017 event is scheduled on 17-18 Sept. at Hyatt Regency Gurugram (NCR).
