ESG / CSR-ready execution

Government–Academia–Industry interface

SDG 2030 + Viksit Bharat 2047

Industry & CSR Partnerships that deliver measurable impact — not just spend.

Research Heights Foundation (RHF) enables corporates and PSUs to convert CSR/ESG budgets into high-trust, evidence-backed outcomes through Higher Education Institutions (HEIs): TRIIMPACT Centres of Excellence, campus-to-community pilots, skilling, research CSR, and transparent impact reporting aligned to BRSR and global SDG frameworks.

RHF is a Section-8 neutral integrator building Research–Innovation–SDG Centres of Excellence and Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI) across Tier-2/3 institutions — designed to improve real outcomes and also strengthen NAAC/NBA, NIRF (SDG Category), and THE Impact visibility.

What Corporates Get

A single, trusted execution partner that converts CSR and ESG commitments into measurable outcomes, audit-ready evidence, and credible public reporting.

Industry-Linked SDG CoEs & Applied Labs

CSR priorities translated into working labs, research, and skill development.

Village & Community Pilots with Verifiable Impact

Time-bound pilots with baselines, targets, and geo-tagged evidence.

BRSR & Board-Ready Reporting

Why partner with RHF

Most CSR fails at one place: credible execution + measurable outcomes + transparent reporting. RHF is built exactly for that gap.

Outcomes-first design

Baseline → targets → interventions → monthly evidence. You don’t fund “activities”; you fund outcomes aligned to SDG indicators and CSR Schedule VII themes.

Multi-stakeholder execution

RHF acts as the interface between Government, Academia, Industry, and Community — enabling fast approvals, coordination, and scale-ready replication.

Trust, compliance, audit-pack

Structured governance, CA-certified utilization support, evidence repository, and a reporting kit tailored to BRSR/ESG disclosures and board requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, board-friendly answers before your CSR committee signs off.

RHF uses Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) as structured execution engines — faculty, students, labs, and governance systems — instead of ad-hoc NGOs or short-term vendors. Every project follows an outcomes-first model (baseline → targets → intervention → evidence), supported by digital evidence trails and audit-ready reporting aligned to BRSR, SDGs, and CSR Schedule VII. This results in lower cost per outcome, faster deployment, and higher credibility.

Each partnership includes a complete audit pack, consisting of:

Baseline assessment reports
Monthly geo-tagged photo and activity evidence
Utilization certificates and financial documentation
Outcome KPIs mapped to SDGs and ESG material topics
Quarterly BRSR-friendly ESG reports and an annual impact report suitable for board review and public disclosure

Yes. CSR programs can be geo-fenced to a specific state, district, or cluster of villages, and aligned to priority SDGs, CSR Schedule VII themes, or internal ESG materiality areas.

RHF shortlists local HEIs and community partners to ensure faster approvals, contextual relevance, and scalable replication within the chosen geography.

RHF operates with strong CSR governance controls, including:

Tripartite MoU (Corporate–RHF–Institution / Govt partner where required)
Defined roles, approval checkpoints, and escalation protocols
Quarterly review cadence with risk and issue trackers
CA-supported utilization documentation
Evidence repositories designed for statutory CSR audits and ESG assurance

The model is designed for scale from Day 1. Once a pilot is validated, the same framework can be replicated across multiple colleges, districts, or states with standardized dashboards, reporting formats, and governance structures.

Corporates can consolidate outcomes into a single annual impact report, supported by recognition kits, case studies, and media-ready narratives.
