An intensive review of literature on relevant aspects of the topic has been undertaken and an analysis made in the context of both national & international companies operating in the country. The methodology adopted for the paper involve Literature Review Analysis (LRA). The objective of this research rather review is to convey the concerns of all stakeholders, including the society within which an enterprise exists or operate, to one of the most important players of the game (read financial expert) through simple explanation of the concepts and rationale behind CSR & SD so as “to increase the depth and scale of the commitment of Indian Companies towards Sustainability Reporting” (Kumar & Devi, 2015)
