Dear Dr. R. L. Bhatia,

I am finally taking the time to thank you very much for having invited me to your outstanding event, and even more so as I have been honored to both chair a session - given Lyon’s stand in Smart City I guess - and being awarded.
The time I spent during the event was very valuable.

I will continue to act upon making this world more sustainable, getting and gaining traction to implement CSR wherever it can be – it has to be.
My time in Mumbai has also been very interesting, meeting with both great people and companies.
This reinforces my position that Lyon-FR. should be more present in India - beside Indian companies to support their internationalization towards Europe.

Until we see each other again - which I truly hope it will happen rather sooner than later, I wish you a very sound and productive end of the week.

Truly yours,

No, I must thank you for inviting me to your event and opening my eyes to the power of CSR as it is not well known in the US yet. Your program was contagious and I am ready to participate. There is a new NGO called the Angel Water Project that wants to donate my machines to needy third world countries but they have yet to get off the ground. So I called them from India and advised them I will fund their launch and contribute at least 2% of my income to their cause. Within a week they will be on my website and begin raising money for their cause. I thank you for giving me the desire to participate in CSR as all countries should do. I would be honored to serve either on your advisory council or the jury and will leave it to you to place me where you see fit. I hope next year I can come speak about the successful launch of my newest water making technology now in R & D, and hope to bring the Angel Water Project with me to speak about their work in 2015 and 2016. You are doing such a great service to mankind and I am really excited to be a part of it. I already can't wait for next year!! Attached is a photo I cherish from the event. Keep up the great work and let me know how I can serve your organization. I'm not sure what you do about disseminating a list of attendees but I know I could use this in order to reach NGO's that could benefit from Angel Water Project machine donations as it seemed like there were some good organizations that can use our technology in doing their work.

 Globethics.net at World CSR Day in India
India will be the one of the few / the first country in the world to introduce legislation on corporate social responsibility (CSR) effective as of April 2013. The new CSR legislation was announced at the World CSR Day 2013 Conference (http://www.worldcsrday.com/) on 17-18 February in Mumbai/India where the Executive Director of Globethics.net was the keynote speaker. All companies in India should spend 2% of their net benefit for activities in the field of corporate social responsibility such as provision of clean water, health care, education, community building, etc. They have to report publicly on their CSR activities and in the cases in which goals are not reached they have to give reasons, open for public debate. With this section 135 of the new Company Bill of India, India becomes a champion in CSR worldwide, as Bhaskar Chatterjee, Director General of the governmental Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs IICA in New Delhi and driver of this development, declared.
This new bill will bring up to 5 billion USD per year for social development for the hundreds of millions of needy people in India. Access to health, water and education are the key topics. It will also be a chance and a challenge to the non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in India to scale up, manage in a transparent way the new inflow of money and partner with the private sector. The World CSR Day, initiated by Raju Bhatia, brought together companies and NGOs , mainly from India. Globethics.net Executive Director Christoph Stückelberger delivered the keynote speech "From AAA to EEE: the Triple E-Strategy Ethics-Ecology-Economy". He called for a new integrated, holistic approach that adds ethics not as a "nice to have", but as the core element in en ethical economy. Financial standards such as AAA should be replaced by integrated standards like EEE.
Thank you so much for all your help in setting up interviews with some of the finest academics in India! The CSR Congress is such an inspiration. You are amazing for organizing this event and drawing attention to the important issues of CSR and the ethical treatment of people and the environment. You have my utmost respect and admiration.
With all best wishes,
