The list do not include foreign companies operating in India or privately held companies. There can also be listed companies that are highly socially responsible companies, but not mentioned here as they are not among the 1000 largest listed companies in India.

In a hyper-competitive world, companies that engage in socially responsible activities need the support from consumers. Whenever we buy any products or services, we can keep the names of these and other socially responsible companies in mind.

Thankyou.
