EBG's CSR Committee set up:

The first meeting of EBG’s CSR Committee was organised on 5th September, 2018 in New Delhi in the office of the Delegation of the European Union to India. The CSR Committee is chaired by Mr Monojit Mukherjee, General Manager, Pernod Ricard India. The Members have shown interest to be a part of this Committee. Though the participation at the first meeting was not very impressive, EBG believes that this is just the beginning and it can contribute and be an effective platform for the European companies in India to showcase their CSR initiatives. A CSR Survey is being developed to share with Members and Prospective companies to better understand the work being done by European companies in India and the challenges they face in implementing their initiatives. EBGs CSR committee thus aims to bring the CSR efforts of all European companies under a common umbrella and branding thereby enabling them to come together to showcase their contribution to the country. Thus, creating an environment of more trust and openness for negotiating better trade policies for facilitating more European Investments.
