Business Of Change

The India Sanitation Coalition provides a platform for the sharing of knowledge, and sharing of good practices across the sanitation spectrum of Build-Use-Maintain-Treat. In furthering this cause, we are pleased to launch the Compendium of Corporate Initiatives in Sanitation.

This compendium is an initial collection of case studies on sanitation initiatives, and highlights how companies are engaging in the sector and supporting the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) launched by Prime Minister Modi. These interventions show how CSR spends are increasingly being used in sanitation. It is very encouraging to see how these companies have developed thoughtful projects to support disadvantaged communities, often evoking innovation.

This compendium is a celebration of partnerships between different stakeholders, with companies anchoring the agendas. By leveraging corporate strengths by way of technical support, financial support, and strong execution capabilities, communities truly benefit. As we advocate at ISC, we can strive for larger impact and scalability by working together, rather than each one working in their vertical.

Companies have this opportunity to really drive change, and there are plenty of avenues to engage. This compendium is a window to see the meaningful contributions corporates are making in sanitation. It is our hope that companies learn from each other, inspire each other, and work to create a collaborative framework to change the sanitation landscape in India.
