What Is a CSR Video and Why Does Your Company Need One?

A CSR video is a short, professionally produced film that communicates your company's contribution to society whether that's education, environment, community welfare, health, or skill development. It is both a communication tool and a compliance asset. In India, companies with a net worth of ₹500 crore or more, or a turnover of ₹1,000 crore or more, are legally mandated under Section 135 of the Companies Act 2013 to spend 2% of average net profits on CSR activities. A well-produced CSR video helps you:

Fulfil annual reporting and board presentation requirements

Communicate authentically with employees, investors, and the public

Build brand trust and differentiate from competitors

Reach a wider audience on digital platforms and social media

Archive your company’s legacy of social impact
