Phased Implementation
Explaining the unspent amount, the company said it had already identified projects under health, nutrition, education and skilling. However, the funds were being allocated and implemented in phases based on ground-level impact, the execution capacity of implementing partners and other operational considerations. LG Electronics India said this approach was intended to ensure the meaningful and effective use of CSR funds instead of accelerated or sub-optimal deployment. The company added that it remained committed to fully utilising the unspent amount on identified activities in the coming financial years.
Nutrition Support
