Social Responsibility

CSM Foundation

CSM Foundation is our non-profit charitable trust established under the Orissa Co-operative Societies Act 1962. Our aim is to further the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy of CSM Technologies Pvt. Ltd. and its subsidiaries for the benefit of the public at large, without any discrimination on the basis of caste, color, creed, religion, or sex. In our first year of formation, we have initiated two flagship events under our CSR umbrella.

The first initiative is CSM Synapse, an inter-school quiz competition in Bhubaneswar that we organized last year in collaboration with Quizcraft Global. Our event aims to cover more schools across Odisha and India each year, eventually becoming a widespread event.

Our second initiative is the CSM Scholarship, in which we awarded an undergraduate student of IIT Delhi last year as per the Memorandum of Understanding signed between our foundation and IIT Delhi administration. In the upcoming years, we aim to provide scholarships not only to IITs but also to IIMs.

Overall, our primary objective is to work towards the betterment of society and improve people's lives through our CSR activities.

CSM Synapse

CSM Synapse is our flagship platform to enable the school children to showcase their knowledge. Owing to the motto of ‘knowledge is power’, Synapse brings knowledge to the forefront of it all. With partnership with Quizcraft Global, headed by India's renowned Quiz Master Adittya Nath Mubayi and Mudita-Chauhan Mubayi, CSM synapse is CSM’s effort on bringing school children to the limelight on the backs of their knowledge.

The first edition of CSM Synapse involved the top schools of Bhubaneswar with the theme coinciding with Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. The children and the audiences witnessed the signature wit of Mr Mubayi while quizzing on the achievements of India @ 75. With this initiative, CSM Tech is committed to empowering the next generation and promoting education.

CSM Working With Cancer

As per research in Cancer@Work study and British Journal of Cancer and International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), 50% of us will get cancer in our lifetime. 50% will be afraid to share this fact at work. But 92% of patients believe the support they get at work positively impacts their health.

To de-stigmatize the way we deal with cancer at our workplace, Publicis Foundation has launched the “Working With Cancer”, a global cross-industry pledge to end the stigma of cancer in the workplace. At CSM, we have always put the well-being and welfare of people first. In continuation of that, we have pledged CSM’s support for #WorkingWithCancer.

CSM with 'UN Climate Change Now'

We are at the crossroad, a pivotal moment in time where we can change the course of history. Climate change has posed lots of challenges before us, but these challenges can be converted into opportunities to create a better future. The Climate Neutral Now Initiative is one of several initiatives launched by the UNFCCC secretariat to increase climate action by engaging non-Party stakeholders (sub-national governments, companies, organizations, individuals). It brings together companies from around the globe in building a better world. All companies signing the pledge commit to net zero carbon emission by 2040, by agreeing to regular reporting, carbon elimination and credible offset. We can make the future of our choice by taking a leadership role in climate change.

Three steps to carbon neutral- Measure. Reduce. Offset.

To avoid the worst effects of climate change, science tells us that we must limit global temperature rise to less than 2 degrees Celsius. Taking these simple steps to measure your carbon footprint and go carbon neutral makes a big difference. 322 businesses have committed to The Climate Pledge for transforming the climate crisis into climate action, reaching the goals of the Paris Agreement 10 years early. CSM is one of it to have signed the pledge for net zero carbon emission with a mission to achieve carbon neutrality by 2033 and advocate the use of clean technology for sustainability.
