Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a key instrument of environmental sustainability, particularly in the context of fast urbanizing areas such as Delhi/NCR. This research paper explores the interface between CSR initiatives and environmental sustainability based on selected case studies of corporate organizations within the region. The research seeks to investigate how firms incorporate environmental issues into CSR initiatives and measure the material effects of such an initiative on host communities and native ecosystems. Conducted via qualitative case study method, the study uses interviews, firm reports, and secondary data to conduct a qualitative analysis of best practices, difficulties, and overall efficacy of CSR-driven environmental programs. The findings reflect a growing alignment of business goals and environmental protection, yet discrepancies remain in long-term impact assessment and public participation. The study identifies the capacity of CSR to promote sustainable development and offers policy recommendations to boost corporate accountability and environmental management within the NCR region.
