EOI for appointment of an implementing partner for water conservation projects under CSR initiative

About CRISIL Foundation

CRISIL Foundation, a public charitable trust, was set up in March 2013 as CRISIL’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) arm. Our mission is to empower socially and economically disadvantaged communities within and beyond our areas of operations.

In Assam and Rajasthan, we have established a robust scalable intervention through our flagship programme Mein Pragati – strengthening the financial capabilities of over 2.3 million community members, mostly rural women; as well as an ecosystem that sustains behaviour change through a well-trained community cadre called Sakhis – which is active, self-sustainable, and delivering outcomes. Under the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) MoneyWise Centre for Financial Literacy (CFL) Project, CRISIL Foundation has set up 675 CFLs across 14 States and 4 Union Territories till date, in partnership with 11 PSU banks and NABARD 

CRISIL RE, CRISIL’s environment conservation programme under the aegis of the CRISIL CSR Policy, is focused on tree plantation and several other initiatives. The programme includes centrally driven and employee-led projects, and strives to engage employees and their families, friends, and relatives in conservation activities. 

The Foundation’s efforts have also been recognised by the Government of India under the prestigious National Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Award, 2020 in the category ‘Corporate Awards for Excellence in CSR’ for financial capability building and environment conservation. This is the second time in a row that CRISIL has received the accolade, after winning the ‘CSR in Challenging Circumstances, North-East’ award for its flagship programme Mein Pragati in Assam, which was conferred by the Hon’ble President of India in 2019.

About the project 

CRISIL Foundation (CSR arm of CRISIL) began its journey in environment conservation in 2015, with the launch of CRISIL RE, which has been CRISIL’s flagship environment conservation programme. It is focused on preserving oceans and forests, mitigating climate change and its impact through afforestation, beach clean-up drives and other initiatives that positively impact “Life on Land” – one of the key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) - Goal 15.

Water Conservation:

CRISIL recognizes the potential of its operations and large employee footprint, to create an impact on natural eco-systems through optimal usage of resources such as energy and water. Therefore, CRISIL believes water conservation should be an important element of its business activities and strives towards minimizing the environmental impact by its operation.
