Our Work
CRW focuses on the following broad areas that require due diligence as a part of the Corporate Social Responsibility monitoring.
Non-discrimination
in the workplace
Business endorses non-discriminatory employment practices (including addressing issues of gender discrimination and workplace disability) and promotes diversity in the workplace (Linked with Principle 3 of NVG: Employee Well Being)
Respecting employee dignity and human rights
Business recognises its responsibility towards creating an enabling environment for workers and prohibits any form of forced labour or child labour (Linked with Principle 5 of NVG: Human Rights
Community
Development
Business recognises its role in fostering community development by addressing local priorities and respecting local concerns and knowledge (Linked with Principle 8 of NVG: Inclusive Growth )
Inclusive supply
chain
Business recognises its role in creating an environment in which the rights of workers throughout the supply chain are respected (Linked with Principle 2 of NVG: Product Life Cycle Sustainability
Community as business stakeholders
Business recognises vulnerable communities as stakeholders and is responsible and transparent about the impact of its processes on these communities (Linked with Principle 4 of NVG: Stakeholder Engagement)
Affirmative
Action
Policy of favoring members of a disadvantaged group with a quota or reservation. GoI stipulates to reserve specific percentage of jobs or school vacancies for minority communities. In other cases, instead of quotas, minorities are given preference in the selection processes.
