PROJECT CONCEPT
The project concept is to identify an industry and find a company from that
industry so as to conduct a study based on parameters such as social responsibility,
CSR activities and EMS. Here, the theme of social responsibility is rapidly becoming
a budding quintessence on the domestic as well global agenda of the corporate
sector.
The idea of corporate social responsibility (CSR) is not new. Business, through the
ages, demonstrated varying degrees of responsibility to society. The present study
explores global phenomenon in CSR and examines the corporate social responsibility
initiatives and trends.
The project is conducted by identifying a company and study is done based
on CSR activities and EMS. After identifying the social responsibility, CSR, rules
and regulations regarding the industry, demographic environment, EM & EMS at the
second phase, we need to give our own findings and suggestions based on that.
To conclude, it is evident that the concept of CSR and EMS has emerged
as a promising benchmark for companies not only in Asia but across the world as a
whole. However, the biggest challenge faced by companies is to develop a CSR
strategy to find tangible and business focused metrics linked to ethical, social and
environmental performance in order to meet stakeholder demands and expectations.
The vision of sustainable growth drives both business decisions as well as ONGC's Corporate Social
Responsibility work. The CSR activities are essentially guided by project based approach in line with the
guidelines issued by the Department of Public Enterprises and Ministry of Corporate Affairs of the
Government of India. The CSR initiatives in India by ONGC were marked by unrelenting commitment to
several large – scale key projects as well as initiation of several new projects identified under the 12 focus
areas of ONGC.
ONGC, in its quest for oil and gas, charters remote rural locations and is in a constant interface with
underprivileged local communities which results in better understanding of the community and
consequently an enhanced sense of responsibility and accountability to the communities whose lives they
touch. A well-defined set of objectives, clearly delineated beneficiaries, strategy and project activities
characterize CSR projects undertaken by the oil and gas company to yield discernible, long-term,
sustainable benefits for the communities in question. Major CSR projects in India undertaken during the
year are enlisted below.

1. Education including vocational courses,

2. Health Care,
3. Entrepreneurship (self-help & livelihood generation) schemes,
