Centre for Social Markets

The Centre for Social Markets (CSM) is an independent non-profit organisation dedicated to making markets work for people, planet and profit. CSM was founded in the year 2000 and is headed by the social entrepreneur Ms Malini Mehra. CSM has its offices in London, United Kingdom and in Kolkata.

CSM’s main objective is to promote responsible entrepreneurship, ethics and accountability worldwide. Its mission is to fundamentally change the culture of markets and other social institutions to advance social justice, human rights and sustainable development. It seeks to accomplish its mission through democratic values and procedures of transparency, accountability, participation and an intolerance of corruption.

Over the past five years, CSM has metamorphosed from an awareness raising focused agenda to an initiative-based one. Through gathering extensive experience on the expansive terrain of Corporate Social responsibility (CSR), its focus at present is to employ a combination of partnership forging and research, and to bring its learning and experience to bear on policy-making.
