Background
CSR data was read from the BR reports in XML and XBRL formats for year 2021-22 using a Python script. The IT companies covered were MindTree, Infosys and HCL - all leaders in sustainability and CSR work.
CSR projects
MindTree provided information on all its projects. The information contained names of NGOs, brief description on projects and counts of beneficiaries. Some companies do not mention names of NGOs. The last column is count of beneficiaries.
