Drop CSR Hypocrisy
Moneylife Digital Team 11 September 2017

While on Infosys and good governance, how about the company ending the tradition of having the CEO’s wife head Infosys Foundation? Vishal Sikka’s wife headed Infosys Foundation implementing the company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives and resigned soon after he did. How does this practice go with a public limited company? Since Infosys was the benchmark for good governance, this dubious practice has been quickly adopted by many listed companies and wives/daughters of many promoters/founders now control 2% of the profits earmarked as CSR spend and have lavish offices and expenses to do so. It’s time to scrap the hypocrisy of mandatory CSR.
