The myopic focus of companies on profits has been criticized in recent years. Mads Øvlisen, the former CEO of @NovoNordisk, explains how the pursuit of a corporate purpose beyond short-term profits, can actually lead to higher long-term profits @TimaBansal
forbes.com/sites/timabans…

Corporate purpose isn’t just about vision and values, it’s about keeping an eye on the long term. Upholding #corporate purpose requires leaders to resist the short-term demands of shareholders & investors in order to build good & successful companies #CSR

In 1971 for the first time in Novo Nordisk’s history, #Øvlisen’s father-in-law had to make the decision to lay off employees. Faced with a similar challenge, Øvlisen worked hard to relocate them elsewhere in the organization, even if the fit wasn’t perfect

@V_Sojo

Some people want to promote #homeschooling that will eventually embed caste system back in India because they feel Indian schools unfairly promote class-system and class-discrimination based on parental income.

#Thread↓

1. They clearly seems to have not attended their Social Science 101 lessons.

The struggle against caste, class, racial, color discrimination is a perpetual struggle. What they do not know is our common schools are at the forefront of these struggles, against odds!

#Thread↓↑

2. When India introduced RTE and allowed 25% 'poor' children to attend a private school near them for free, it was the upper-middle class parents who were up in arms against it, not schools. Imagine, you are pushing the same parents to do #homeschooling!

ADV SHRUTI DESAI 🇮🇳

@narendramodi

@narendramodi @nsitharaman @PiyushGoyal Sirs , when #RussiaInvadedUkraine govt of India evacuated nearly 30000 youths from ukraine.Many behaved as if by going abroad ty have obliged this country.It's not case abroad it's easy & &here it's hell

It's just a crazy flock. There are instances in families where one person has sacrificed life so others can study and progress. At that juncture that person was not aware that after 20 years the person for whoes survival ty sacrificed will fly abroad

I am highlighting serious social issues. The emotional turmoils which other members go through is of no concern. Systematic way a huge section of old class is created who search for a security and love.This is in million. It's a social medico issue

1. Minerals fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of provinces. As per Aghaaz Huqooq Balochistan package, ownership of #Saindak should have been transferred to GoB upon expiry of lease in 2012.

Qs for you:
I) Why GoP still manages the project? Why SML remains a GoP-owned Co.?

https://twitter.com/hammad_azhar/status/1493531309586759687

2. In original negotiations held in 2001-02, it was agreed tht a copper refinery would be established in Balochistan in 10 years’ time.

Why has the refinery not been setup after 20 years?

Does an independent mechanism exist to verify quantity of gold & copper being produced?

@Hammad_Azhar

3. GoP has refused to transfer ownership of #Saindak on ground tht it has made Rs 30 Bn investment.

Can u share profits earned by MCC, GoP & GoB between 2002 & 2021? @Hammad_Azhar

On what grounds does GoP want 30 Bn when it has been getting bulk of profit since 2002?

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) recently made amendments to the national Corporate Social Responsibility (#CSR) policy enshrined under the Companies Act 2013. The amendment has subscribed several changes to the provisions relating to CSR.

#Law #Policy #TAExplains #Explainer

However, one of the key changes made by the amendment is Impact Assessment. Company having the obligation of spending the avg CSR amount of Rs 10 cr or more in the 3 immediately preceding financial yrs in pursuance of Section 135(5) of the Act, shall undertake impact assessment.

#ImpactAssessment to be done by an independent agency and with respect to #CSR projects having outlays of 1 cr or more and which have been completed not less than one year before undertaking the impact study.

collectiveshout.org/new_ad_code_wo…

The Australian Association of National Advertisers (AANA) this week released its updated Code of Ethics following a review. While we welcome some new elements in the Code, we have reservations about its overall effectiveness.

The updated Code – taking effect Feb 2021 - includes restrictions on undue focus on male or female anatomy, unless relevant to the product being advertised, use of sexualised imagery or graphic violence where children are likely to view it, & avoiding harmful gender stereotypes.

@narendramodi

1. During his #IndependenceDay2020 speech, PM @narendramodi again highlighted the necessity of #AtmaNirbharBharat. We went one step ahead asking us to move from #MakeInIndia to #MakeForWorld.

I wonder, why can't the same apply for NGO sector?

2. Do we have dearth of our homegrown NGOs that we need international NGOs to occupy our space in India, who primarily exist here to take benefits of the funding now available in India, including the #CSR funding?

3. We have a rich history of the CSOs, playing important role before the independence and afterwards. That has been undermined due to the heavy presence of international NGOs through their country offices.
