Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about CSR advisory, impact assessment, ESG reporting and working with INSPACTA.
What is CSR advisory?
CSR advisory helps organisations structure their social investment priorities, policies, programmes, governance processes and monitoring arrangements.
What is a third-party impact assessment?
An assessment carried out by an external party to examine a programme’s outcomes, evidence and other defined evaluation questions. The level of independence depends on the engagement’s governance and safeguards.
Does INSPACTA work across India?
Yes. INSPACTA has a pan-India presence, and coverage for each engagement is confirmed based on the project’s requirements.
Can INSPACTA support ESG reporting?
Yes. Support can include indicator mapping, information consolidation, gap identification, performance documentation and report development. Independent assurance is a separate requirement and is not included automatically.
Can INSPACTA guarantee funding or CSR project approval?
No. Funding and approval decisions rest with the relevant corporate, donor or funding institution. INSPACTA can strengthen the quality and readiness of your proposal.
