Driving Transformative Dialogues for a Healthier India
The CSR Health Impact Summit 2025, an integral platform of the IHW Council, is designed to catalyse actionable dialogue, build collaborations, and spotlight strategic innovations that can shape India’s health future through CSR.
As we step into the 9th edition, the summit emerges as a national confluence of visionaries, policymakers, corporate leaders, development sector champions, and health innovators, all committed to one collective purpose — enabling sustainable, inclusive, and equitable health outcomes for every Indian.
India stands at a defining moment in its health journey. With increasing health inequities, rising disease burdens, and the growing need for preventive and digital health models, the role of CSR is no longer just philanthropic — it is strategic
This summit is a platform of purpose. It goes beyond celebration — it provokes thought, encourages accountability, and ignites partnerships. It is where India’s most responsible companies align their CSR vision with national health goals, and where policy meets practice.
The CSR Health Impact Awards, now in its 9th edition aim to honour and showcase innovative efforts dedicated to health at all levels. Over the past eighth years, the CSR Health Impact Awards have served as a catalyst for raising awareness about the importance of good health and recognizing groundbreaking CSR initiatives aimed at achieving this goal. As we embark on the ninth edition, our focus remains steadfast on nurturing a healthier, more prosperous future for all, driven by the ethos of unity and collective responsibility towards building a sustainable and resilient global community.
The Sustainability Hour at the CSR Health Impact Awards is a special initiative dedicated to advancing sustainability within health-focused corporate social responsibility. Anchored in the broader vision of environmental stewardship and social equity, this segment underscores the vital role that responsible businesses play in shaping a healthier, more resilient planet—aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the climate priorities of global platforms like COP 29.
This hour brings to light the intersection of health, environment, and ethical impact—spotlighting initiatives that reduce healthcare waste, promote renewable practices in health infrastructure, support inclusive healthcare access, and empower communities through sustainable interventions. It invites corporates, NGOs, government bodies, and changemakers to embed sustainability in the DNA of their health interventions.
Through focused dialogue and recognition of impactful work, the Sustainability Hour drives momentum for cross-sector partnerships, scalable innovations, and long-term policy alignment—laying the groundwork for a future where health and sustainability go hand in hand.
IHW Council works towards creating awareness and advocacy for a healthier, happier world. With the core belief that health is everyone’s responsibility, IHW Council initiatives get everyone talking about health at the national and international level. It is our guiding philosophy that focused, dedicated efforts which impact areas related to health should be recognized to inspire more hands and more initiatives that can contribute towards the making of a healthy nation. Our core belief stands to be that health is everyone’s priority and all human enterprises need to have national health as a larger goal.
