CSR Case Study: Godrej Industries
Given below are some of the CSR practices of Godrej.
Green Business Centre: Spearheading the Green Revolution
Godrej  and  the  Confederation  of  Indian  Industry  in  partnership  with  the  Andhra  Pradesh
Government  conceived  the  CII-Sohrabji  Godrej  Green  Business  Center.  The  Green  Business
Centre is the first building in the world to receive the Platinum LEED award, making it one of
the most environmentally advanced buildings in the world.
The  Green  Building  is  a  symbol  of  Environmental  Sustainability.  For  Environmental
Sustainability, one has to adapt a holistic approach whilst constructing a building and also ensure
that  this  approach  is  integrated  in  its  subsequent  operation.  Also,  of  optimum  importance  is
Safety during Construction and post Occupancy. A Green building and a conventional building
would  visually  not  look  very  different,  but  the  difference  really  lies  in  the  design,  the
construction and operational aspects.
A Green Building keeps Environmental concerns in focus in several areas – such as selection of
site for the building, selection and usage of materials, architectural features, efficiencies in water
and energy management (including  energy efficiency of equipment  in the building), indoor air
quality and occupant thermal comfort.
Mangroves
The  Soonabai  Pirojsha  Godrej  Foundation  supports  the  largest  privately  managed  belt  of
Mangroves  in  Mumbai.  This  is  the  first  such  mangrove  area  in  Ind ia  to  formally  adopt
ISO14001 standards for Environment Management Systems. The vast tract of unique mangrove
forests conserved and protected by Godrej in Vikhroli, demonstrates how industry  and nature
could well exist in harmony with each other. These Mangroves serve as the second lung of the
city only after Sanjay Gandhi National Park.
The mangrove flora of Pirojshanagar is well diversified. There are 13 species of mangroves and
mangrove associates. The faunal composition – with 206 species of birds, 30 species of reptiles,
13 species of crabs, 7 species of prawns and 20 species of fish identified so far in the area  -  is
equally diverse. Mammals like jackals and mongoose have also been spotted many a times.
The  Soonabai  Pirojsha  Godrej  Marine  Ecology  Centre  (SPGMEC)  was  formally  inaugurated
and set up under the leadership of the late ornithologist Dr. Salim Ali. SPGMEC is engaged in
conservation  of  the  marine  diversity  (mangrove  ecosystem)  through  research,
education/awareness  building  and  regular  monitoring.  Simultaneously,  the  centre  propagates
various  species  of  mangroves,  developing  theme  parks  on  medicinal  plants  and  rare  endemic
plant  species,  palms  amongst  others.  Every  year,  around  10,000  visitors  learn  about  biodiversity  in  mangroves,  its  importance  and  threats  for  its  survival  through  nature  trails,  slide
shows, film shows, awareness campaigns, visits to Mangrove Interpretation Centre and articles
in newsletters.
World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)
The  Godrej  Group  has  been  associated  with  India’s  largest  conservation  NGO,  WWF-India,
starting  with  the  late  Mr.  S.  P.  Godrej,  who  was  its  founder  Trustee  and  President  to  Mr.
Jamshyd Godrej who is currently the President of WWF-India and the Vice President of WWFInternational. WWF-India began as a modest, wildlife conservation organisation. Over the years,
the perspective has broadened to encompass conservation of habitats and ecosystems and to lend
support  to  the  management  of  the  country’s  protected  area  network.  Godrej’s  commitment  to
global conservation is reflected in their continued association with WWF. 
The  WWF-India  Secretariat  is  housed  at  the  Pirojsha  Godrej  National  Conservation  Center
(PGNCC) in New Delhi. The PGNCC was inaugurated on November 3, 1989 by then President
of  India  Mr.  R.  Venkatraman,  in  the  presence  of  the  President  of  WWF-International,  Prince
Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh.
Nature  has  blessed  our  country  so  richly.  Yet,  instead  of  being  trustees  of  Nature,  we  have
degraded our land to lower depths than many less fortunate countries. We have been associated
with TRAFFIC-India (Trade Record Analysis of Flora and Fauna in Commerce), a division of
WWF-India, which is responsible for monitoring and studying legal and illegal trade in wildlife
and its derivatives, thus contributing to  the enforcement aspects of bio-diversity conservation.
Our contributions to the cause received a boost, when the late Chairman, Mr. S. P. Godrej was
conferred with the WWF 25th Anniversary Benefactor "White Pelican" Award.
Trees and Afforestation
It has been  Godrej’s  endeavor  to protect our forests and propagate greenery. The Godrej name
has always associated with Trees. The late Mr. S. P. Godrej had been the Vice-President of the
National Society of the Friends of Trees and Mrs. Pheroza Godrej is its current President. For
the past many years a well-stocked Tree Bank is maintained at Pirojshanagar and saplings are
generously distributed, free of cost to voluntary organisations engaged in afforestation work.
Q1) If you would be the CEO of Godrej Industries,  which other additional CSR activities you
would  have  undertaken  that  would  have  aligned  well  with  the  current  CSR  activities  and
company’s line of business?   (10 Marks)
Q2)  Select  any  listed  Indian  or  International  Public  Limited  Company  and  classify  its  CSR
activities on triple bottom line approach basis ie People Planet and Profit.   (10 Marks)
Q3) “It is governments job to do CSR activities and corporate should focus their attention on
Profit” and “CSR is a lip service and doesn’t help many”
– Explain your viewpoint on both the statements.   (10 Marks)
