"This report presents the results of a research project carried out as part of
the postgraduate training course of the German Development Institute
(GDI), Bonn, in close cooperation with the Centre for Social Markets,
India, and with the support of Ashok V. Desai, Consultant Editor of the
Telegraph, India. The report is based on studies of the literature and on
empirical data collected in India’s main industrial districts of Delhi, Mumbai,
Pune, Bangalore and Chennai from February to April 2006.
The GDI research team would like to thank Sachin Joshi of the Centre for
Social Markets and Ashok V. Desai for their strong scientific and technical
support, without which this study would not have been possible.
The research team would also like to express their thanks to the top officials
of almost 40 Indian and foreign companies and 32 other stakeholders
who spoke of their experience and responded to our questionnaire on CSR
in India and the role of the UN Global Compact in particular.
Last but not least, the authors are very grateful to experts from other Indian,
international and German institutions who were kind enough to share
their knowledge with us and so contributed to the writing of the report.
However, the GDI team alone is responsible for the results presented here." (excerpt)
