In addition, it is also meant for individuals in corporations and practitioners to augment their knowledge on Corporate Responsibility and related areas as also to enhance their own understanding on these areas. The site contains general sections such as News, Events, Did You Know? (Facts and definitions) and Articles. It contains separate sections for Academics, Practitioners and NGOs. It also contains a Directory and Videos on events such as workshops, conferences and panel discussions.
The launch event of the website was held to enhance Responsible Business awareness, so as to promote these practices across sectors, translating thought into action. The event was well attended with participants from Academia, Business, Civil Society, and MBA Students. The audience was welcomed by Manoj Chakravarti, Chief Operating Officer, CCGC.
