Anaxee: Redefining CSR and Carbon Projects with Tech-Enabled Transparency

Introduction: Why CSR Needs a New Model

India has emerged as a global pioneer in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by making it mandatory under the Companies Act, 2013. Each year, thousands of crores flow into CSR initiatives, touching lives across education, health, livelihood, environment, and community development.

But when it comes to climate and carbon-linked CSR projects, the picture is less inspiring. While companies are increasingly allocating funds to environmental projects, questions persist:

-Are CSR funds truly creating measurable climate impact?

-Do corporates have real-time visibility into how projects are performing?

-Are NGOs empowered enough to implement long-term, carbon-accounted projects?

The reality is stark. Most CSR projects struggle with short-term focus, dependency on NGOs with limited resources, and lack of robust monitoring systems. As a result, transparency and credibility—the two pillars of impactful climate action—are often missing.

This is where Anaxee Digital Runners Pvt. Ltd. is changing the narrative. Positioned at the intersection of tech, community reach, and climate action, Anaxee offers a new model of CSR execution—one that makes climate projects transparent, scalable, and accountable.

The Shift: From Welfare CSR to Climate CSR

Traditionally, CSR in India has been focused on welfare projects—schools, hospitals, skill training, community services. These are important, but with the mounting urgency of the climate crisis, the corporate focus is shifting.

-Companies are expected to go beyond welfare and invest in sustainability.

-Climate-linked CSR is becoming part of ESG reporting and net-zero commitments.

-Regulators and stakeholders are pushing for measurable outcomes—not just good intentions.

Yet, many corporates face a gap. They want to invest CSR money into climate projects but lack credible, transparent partners who can bridge the gap between corporate boardrooms and rural landscapes where these projects take root.

Anaxee fills this gap.

Anaxee’s Unique Position in the CSR-Climate Space

Anaxee is not just another implementation partner. It is a tech-enabled climate execution engine with unmatched last-mile reach across India.

Here’s what sets Anaxee apart:

Nationwide Reach
- With a network of 40,000+ Digital Runners, Anaxee has the capacity to execute projects in remote villages, tribal areas, and Tier-3 towns—where climate action truly matters.
- This grassroots presence ensures authentic community engagement and trusted local participation.
Tech-Driven Execution
- Anaxee integrates digital monitoring, reporting, and verification (dMRV) tools into every CSR project.
- Real-time dashboards give corporates visibility into where their funds are going and what impact is being created.
Proven Track Record
- From Clean cooking initiatives to agroforestry bund plantations under VM0047, Anaxee has delivered climate impact with social co-benefits.
- Unlike NGOs struggling with scale, Anaxee can run multiple large-scale projects simultaneously.
Bridging NGO Gaps
- NGOs bring local trust and mobilization power, but lack tech, carbon expertise, and roadmaps.
- Anaxee empowers NGOs with technology, training, and transparent processes—making them more effective partners.

In short, Anaxee is the missing link between corporate CSR funds, NGOs, and transparent carbon outcomes.

Bringing Transparency with Tech

The biggest challenge in CSR is trust. Companies often struggle to prove that:

-CSR funds were used as intended.

-The claimed impact is real and measurable.

-The benefits go beyond tokenism to long-term climate goals.

Anaxee addresses this through technology.

1. dMRV Tools for CSR and Carbon Projects

-Digital data collection through mobile apps.

-Geo-tagged photos, videos, and records.

-Automated carbon accounting integrated with project data.

2. Real-Time Dashboards for Corporates

-Corporates can log in and see project progress in real-time.

-Metrics like trees planted, survival rates, carbon sequestered, households impacted are visible at a click.

3. GIS and Satellite Integration

-Projects are cross-verified with remote sensing data.

-This eliminates false claims and ensures verifiable impact.

4. AI-Powered Monitoring

-Predictive analytics help corporates understand long-term project impact.

-Issues like sapling survival, resource gaps, or community participation can be addressed proactively.

This tech backbone makes Anaxee’s CSR projects auditable, transparent, and investor-grade.

Empowering NGOs Through Capacity Building

NGOs remain critical in India’s climate story. They are the ones who connect with communities, mobilize local participation, and create awareness. But they face limitations:

-Limited resources and manpower.

-Minimal exposure to carbon methodologies like VM0047.

-No 15–20-year roadmap planning.

-Lack of tech-enabled monitoring.

Anaxee doesn’t bypass NGOs—it empowers them.

-Training programs on climate project implementation.

-Digital tools to record and report their activities.

-Capacity building for long-term planning.

-Integration into carbon markets where NGOs couldn’t participate alone.

By partnering with Anaxee, NGOs are strengthened, not sidelined. They continue to bring local trust while Anaxee ensures transparency and scalability.

Case Examples: Anaxee in Action

1. Clean Cooking Initiatives (CSR + Climate + Health)

-Objective: Distribute clean cooking stoves in tribal communities.

-Impact:

Clean Cooking Initiative
- 70% reduction in smoke-related health issues.
- 50% less firewood consumption, reducing deforestation.
- Community awareness on health + climate benefits.

This project showcases how Anaxee combines CSR with measurable carbon benefits.

2. Bund Agroforestry under VM0047

-Integrated into carbon credit methodology.

-Smallholder farmers supported to plant trees on bunds.

-Corporate CSR funds channeled into long-term climate impact.

This project not only creates carbon credits but also delivers co-benefits like farmer income, soil health, and biodiversity.

3. Education + Climate Pilots

-Combining school-level awareness programs with tree plantations.

-Creating a generation of climate-conscious youth.

These examples prove Anaxee’s ability to merge CSR, carbon, and community seamlessly.

Benefit Sharing Agreements in Carbon Projects: Ensuring Fair Returns for Communities

Benefit Sharing Agreements (BSAs): Building Trust with Communities

Introduction

Carbon projects are not just about trees, emissions, or credits—they are about people. At the heart of every forest, mangrove, or clean energy initiative are the communities and Indigenous Peoples whose daily lives are most affected by project activities. Without their support, even the most ambitious projects risk collapse.

This is where Benefit Sharing Agreements (BSAs) come in. A BSA is a structured way to distribute the financial and non-financial benefits of carbon projects to local communities. Done well, it builds trust, ensures fairness, and strengthens the durability of carbon projects. Done poorly, it can lead to disputes, loss of credibility, and even project failure.

In this blog, we’ll explore what BSAs are, why they matter, the different models used, challenges in implementation, and best practices for designing fair and transparent agreements.

What are Benefit Sharing Agreements?

Benefit Sharing Agreements are formal arrangements that define how revenue and benefits from carbon credits are shared between project developers, governments, and communities. They cover:

-Monetary benefits: A share of revenue from the sale of carbon credits.

-Non-monetary benefits: Jobs, healthcare, infrastructure, training, or ecosystem services.

-Governance mechanisms: How decisions are made, who participates, and how disputes are resolved.

The idea is simple: communities that help protect or restore ecosystems must receive a fair return. This not only rewards them for their stewardship but also ensures long-term sustainability.

Why BSAs Matter

Community Buy-in: Projects cannot succeed without the support of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs). BSAs create trust and cooperation.
Fairness and Justice: Communities often bear the opportunity costs of conservation, such as giving up land-use options. Benefit sharing compensates them fairly.
Sustainability: Projects with equitable benefit-sharing are more resilient, reducing risks of leakage, conflict, or non-compliance.
Investor Confidence: Transparent BSAs enhance the credibility of projects, making them more attractive to buyers and financiers.

Types of Benefit Sharing Models

Benefit sharing can take different forms depending on context:

1. Fixed Payments

-Communities receive a guaranteed annual or periodic payment.
-Provides certainty, but may underrepresent future credit value.

2. Revenue-Sharing Percentage

-Communities receive a fixed percentage of credit revenue.
-Aligns incentives but exposes communities to price fluctuations.

3. Hybrid Models

-Combines fixed payments with revenue-sharing.
-Provides stability with upside potential.

4. In-Kind Benefits

-Communities receive benefits in non-cash forms: schools, clinics, roads, or water systems.
-Useful in areas with weak financial infrastructure.

5. Community Development Funds

-Revenue pooled into a fund managed by community representatives.
-Funds projects like livelihood programs, health, or education.

Key Principles of Effective BSAs

Based on the Carbon Finance Playbook and global best practices, effective BSAs should:

Fairness: Ensure equitable distribution of benefits.
Engagement: Involve communities in agreement design.
Transparency: Clearly communicate revenue flows and decision-making.
Long-Term Commitment: Support communities beyond initial project years.
Flexibility: Adapt agreements to changing market or community conditions.

Challenges in Implementing BSAs

Despite their importance, BSAs face challenges:

-Power Imbalances: Developers or governments may dominate negotiations.

-Lack of Legal Clarity: In some countries, carbon rights are not well defined.

-Capacity Gaps: Communities may lack financial literacy to manage funds.

-Monitoring Difficulties: Ensuring benefits actually reach all households can be difficult.

-Corruption Risks: Without transparent governance, funds may be misused.

Case Studies

Mozambique

Mozambique’s carbon projects have pioneered community benefit-sharing, often directing 50% of revenues to local communities. While promising, challenges remain in ensuring transparency and equitable distribution.

Kenya – Cookstove Projects

In Kenya, improved cookstove projects share benefits through lower household fuel costs, health improvements, and a share of carbon revenues. Community organizations play a central role in managing funds.

Indonesia – Forest Conservation

Indonesian REDD+ projects often use hybrid BSAs combining direct cash payments with community development programs, such as schools or livelihood projects.

Tools to Strengthen BSAs

-Participatory Governance Models: Involve communities in boards or decision-making bodies.

-Third-Party Audits: Independent verification of revenue distribution.

-Digital MRV (dMRV): Technology to track benefit distribution in real time.

-Legal Frameworks: Clear recognition of carbon rights at national and local levels.

-Capacity Building: Training communities in finance, governance, and monitoring.

The Role of Donors and Investors

Donors and investors can strengthen BSAs by:

-Providing early-stage grants for capacity building.

-Supporting independent monitoring systems.

-Requiring transparent BSAs as a condition for funding.

-Offering insurance or guarantees to protect community benefits.

The Way Forward

For carbon projects to achieve credibility and long-term impact, benefit sharing must move from tokenistic gestures to structured, transparent systems. Communities need to see tangible improvements in their lives for projects to endure.

Future improvements will depend on:

-Integration of BSAs into ICVCM’s Core Carbon Principles.

-Greater alignment with Article 6 frameworks.

-Adoption of digital tools for transparency.

-Recognition of IPLC rights in national legislation.

Conclusion

Benefit Sharing Agreements are not optional—they are essential. They ensure that communities who are stewards of forests, land, and ecosystems are fairly compensated. Beyond fairness, BSAs are about building trust, reducing risk, and making projects sustainable.

For developers, BSAs mean stronger projects. For investors, they mean credibility and risk reduction. For communities, they mean justice and opportunity. And for the world, they mean that carbon projects can truly deliver both climate impact and social equity.

What are the Sustainable Development Goals? A Practical Guide for Businesses & CSR in India

What are the Sustainable Development Goals?

(A practical guide for companies, investors, and CSR/ESG teams in India)

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 globally agreed targets adopted by all UN Member States in 2015 to be achieved by 2030. They cover poverty, health, education, gender equality, water, energy, jobs, industry, cities, climate, biodiversity, and governance. Progress is real but off-track overall; the 2025 UN status report shows persistent gaps and a multi-trillion-dollar annual financing shortfall. India measures SDGs state-by-state using the SDG India Index; the 2023–24 edition reports a national score of 71 with notable gains on poverty reduction, jobs, climate action, and life on land. For companies, SDG-aligned projects translate into risk reduction, access to finance, compliance readiness, and measurable impact—provided there’s credible dMRV and last-mile execution.

1) The basics—what the SDGs are (and what they’re not)

Definition. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 global goals and 169 targets adopted under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in 2015. Every UN Member State signed on, making the SDGs the most widely accepted development framework in history.

Purpose. The SDGs are a blueprint to end extreme poverty, reduce inequality, and protect the planet while sustaining economic growth and good governance. This is not a charity wishlist; it is a policy-and-metrics framework that helps governments and markets pull in the same direction.

Measurement. The SDGs are tracked through a global indicator framework that’s periodically updated. As of 10 April 2025, the UN system classifies 161 indicators as Tier I (methodology and data widely available) and 60 as Tier II (methodology clear, data not universal), among others—meaning the technical underpinnings are mature for most key metrics.

What SDGs are not. They’re not a single certification logo, not a replacement for local laws, and not a one-size KPI set for every organization. They’re a public good: a global scoreboard governments, companies, financiers, and civil society can align to.

2) The 17 Goals—one-line summaries for decision makers

No Poverty (SDG 1): End poverty everywhere.
Zero Hunger (SDG 2): Food security, better nutrition, and resilient agriculture.
Good Health & Well-being (SDG 3): Universal health coverage, maternal/child health.
Quality Education (SDG 4): Inclusive, equitable learning for all.
Gender Equality (SDG 5): End discrimination/violence; ensure participation and rights.
Clean Water & Sanitation (SDG 6): Safe water, sanitation, hygiene, and watershed management.
Affordable & Clean Energy (SDG 7): Universal access to modern, renewable energy.
Decent Work & Economic Growth (SDG 8): Jobs, SME growth, productivity, safety.
Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure (SDG 9): Sustainable industrialization, R&D, resilient infrastructure.
Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10): Inclusion across income, age, gender, migration.
Sustainable Cities & Communities (SDG 11): Housing, mobility, pollution, resilience.
Responsible Consumption & Production (SDG 12): Resource efficiency, waste prevention.
Climate Action (SDG 13): Mitigation, adaptation, finance, capacity-building.
Life Below Water (SDG 14): Oceans, fisheries, pollution control.
Life on Land (SDG 15): Forests, land degradation, biodiversity.
Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions (SDG 16): Rule of law, transparency, anti-corruption.
Partnerships for the Goals (SDG 17): Finance, technology, trade, data, and collaboration.

Board takeaway: Think of the 17 goals as a risk map + opportunity pipeline. Each goal touches a material ESG category with clear policy momentum and—importantly—tracking indicators you can report against.

3) Where the world stands in 2025—progress, but not enough

Status check. The UN SDG Report 2025 flags two truths: (1) millions of lives have improved since 2015 (e.g., access to electricity, mobile broadband, some health outcomes), (2) but the world remains off-track on most targets—especially on climate, biodiversity, food security, and financing. Macroeconomic headwinds and debt overhangs in developing countries are slowing progress.

The money gap. The annual SDG financing gap for developing countries is now estimated at ~$4 trillion—a jump from pre-pandemic levels. This is why blended finance, MDB reform, tax cooperation, and private capital mobilization dominate the policy conversation.

Political reality. International negotiations in 2025 continue to wrestle with development finance and governance. Outcomes matter because they influence concessional funding, debt terms, and the policy environment for corporate projects.

So what? Expect rising disclosure demands (on impact, nature, and value chain), more results-based finance, and a premium on credible data. Organizations that can prove delivery at the last mile will get funded faster.

4) India’s SDG picture—signals that matter for business

India tracks progress through the SDG India Index, published by NITI Aayog. The 2023–24 edition reports a national composite score of 71, up from 66 (2020–21) and 57 (2018 baseline). Gains are strongest on SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 8 (Decent Work), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 15 (Life on Land). State/UT scores range 57–79. Translation: policy and program alignment is rising, and procurement/CSR windows are opening around climate and livelihoods.

Implication for corporates/CSR: There’s a policy-backed, measurable pathway to fund and implement nature-based, livelihood, and health/education interventions—if you can deliver verifiable outputs and outcomes.

5) How the SDGs are measured—targets, indicators, tiers (and why this matters to your CFO)

Each SDG has targets and indicators. Indicators are grouped by Tier:

Tier I: Methodology and data widely available (low reporting friction).

Tier II: Methodology clear; data not regularly produced by many countries (medium friction).

Multiple Tiers / Pending review: Complex metrics or components under evaluation.

As of April 10, 2025, the UN lists 161 Tier I and 60 Tier II indicators (plus a small set with mixed tiers/pending review). For companies, this means more mature KPIs to align with—reducing the risk of “impact-washing” and making CFO-grade reporting feasible.

6) Why companies should care—hard benefits, not soft PR

Capital access: Development banks, impact funds, and sustainability-linked instruments increasingly tie terms to SDG-relevant outcomes—energy access, climate resilience, biodiversity, livelihoods. Strong projects can lower cost of capital.

Compliance readiness: SDG-aligned reporting dovetails with evolving disclosure regimes and supply-chain expectations (scope emissions, nature, human rights).

Market expansion: SDG-aligned products tap new demand (clean energy devices, water filters, climate-smart ag inputs) and unlock public co-funding.

Talent & brand: Evidence-backed impact attracts talent and partners—increasingly a procurement prerequisite, not a nice-to-have.

Caveat: None of this works without proof—geo-tagged data, independent QA, permanent traceability, and on-ground feedback loops.

7) From SDGs to execution—what credible projects look like

A credible SDG-aligned project should demonstrate:

Clear problem → measurable outcome (e.g., “X households receive clean cooking devices; Y% reduction in PM2.5 exposure; Z tCO₂e avoided”).
Target–indicator mapping to at least one SDG (primary) and secondary co-benefits.
dMRV (digital Measurement, Reporting, Verification) with geo-evidence, time stamps, and beneficiary consent.
Last-mile operations with trained local teams; not just one-time deployments.
Independent QA and audit trails.
Data governance and grievance mechanisms (relevant to SDG 16).
Transition plan—maintenance, repairs, engagement beyond Day 0.

These aren’t buzzwords; they’re how you survive scrutiny from auditors, financiers, and the public.

8) Mapping common project types to SDGs (examples Anaxee can execute)

-Agroforestry on smallholder lands → SDG 13 & 15 (climate and biodiversity), SDG 1 & 8 (farmer incomes, jobs). Requires baseline/census, survivability audits, and seasonally tuned field ops.

-Clean energy devices (solar lanterns, SHS) → SDG 7, co-benefits for SDG 3 (health), SDG 4 (study hours), SDG 13. Needs device registry and after-sales service logs.

-Clean cooking → SDG 3 & 7, SDG 5 (gender/time savings), SDG 13. Track usage data, fuel displacement, health proxies.

-Water filters / water ATMs → SDG 6, SDG 3. Requires water-quality logs, uptime monitoring, replacement cycles.

-Beneficiary identification & targeting → Cross-cutting; essential for SDG 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 16 (inclusion, accountability).

-Digitization of climate data (dMRV) → Enabler for SDG 13, 15 and reporting across the board.

(All SDG goal definitions and linkages per UN goal descriptions.)

9) The financing conversation you can’t avoid

Reality check: The $4T+/year SDG financing gap won’t close with philanthropy alone; private capital is now central. Expect performance-based contracts, blended structures, and stronger due diligence around data quality and permanence of outcomes. Projects that prove additionality, durability, and social safeguards will move first.

What to prepare:

-3–5 year impact pro-forma with conservative baselines.

-Indicator mapping (UN indicator codes where relevant) to shorten diligence.

-Ops manual: SOPs for enrollment, training, maintenance, and exit.

-Risk register (seasonality, supply chain, beneficiary attrition) with mitigation plans.

-Independent QA plan and data sharing terms.

10) India strategy—align with the SDG India Index

Since the SDG India Index scores states/UTs, align proposals with state priorities that are already trending up (e.g., climate action, poverty reduction, life on land). This improves buy-in, co-funding odds, and speed. Use the index to justify geographic focus and set realistic targets without overpromising.

11) How Anaxee de-risks SDG-aligned projects (execution, not jargon)

Why this matters: Many projects fail not on ideas, but on weak ground execution—missing baselines, poor training, data holes, and zero follow-up.

What we do differently:

-Last-mile workforce at scale: trained local digital runners with live feedback loops from a central 125+ member team coordinating checks, corrections, and escalation.

-Census-based enrollment (not estimates), polygon mapping, and tree/device registries with unique IDs, geo-tags, and time stamps.

-dMRV stack: mobile apps, QC dashboards, audit logs, and photo/video protocols tied to SDG indicator logic where relevant.

-QA & re-verification: randomized back-checks, survivability audits, and grievance channels.

-Partner-ready data: datasets structured for financiers and auditors.

Bottom line: If you need SDG-aligned results you can defend, you need verifiable data and trained teams that don’t disappear after deployment.

12) Frequently asked questions (straight answers)

Q1. Is “doing SDGs” just CSR?
No. The SDGs are a global policy and measurement framework. CSR is one vehicle to fund SDG-aligned work. Many SDG projects are commercial or blended finance.

Q2. Which SDGs should my company prioritize?
Start with materiality: your supply chain risks and core strengths. Then choose a primary SDG and 1–2 co-benefits where you can actually measure outcomes.

Q3. How do we report?
Map activities to UN indicators where possible, set baselines, and use verifiable dMRV. Avoid vanity metrics.

Q4. What’s new in 2024–2025?
Updated indicator tiers, a clear financing gap number that’s driving MDB reform debate, and ongoing policy focus on results-based funding. Translation: strong data beats glossy decks.

13) A simple, SDG-aligned corporate action plan (90 days)

Weeks 1–2: Prioritize & baseline

-Pick 1–2 SDGs aligned to your business.
-Define indicators and data you can feasibly collect.
-Commission a rapid baseline (geo-tagged).

Weeks 3–6: Pilot design

-Choose 2–3 districts and a single intervention (e.g., agroforestry bundles or water filters).
-Lock SOPs for training, deployment, and QA.
-Pre-wire reporting templates to match UN indicator logic (where applicable).

Weeks 7–12: Launch & verify

-Train local teams; push live checklists.
-Capture data in dMRV; run back-checks.
-Publish a concise results note with photos, geo-evidence, and beneficiary feedback.

Day 90: Decide to scale or refine; line up co-funding or performance-based contracts.

14) Common mistakes to avoid

-Counting activities instead of outcomes. Handing out devices isn’t impact; sustained usage is.
-Ignoring seasonality. Agroforestry done off-season = survivability risk.
-No maintenance budget. Water filters and clean cookstoves fail without service cycles.
-Data holes. If it’s not geo-tagged/time-stamped with QA, expect pushback.
-Over-claiming co-benefits. Tie claims to specific indicators or keep them conservative.

15) The road to 2030—pragmatic optimism

We’re past the halfway mark. The world is off-track at the macro level, but credible, verifiable projects can still move the needle—especially in climate-nature-livelihood intersections where India has scaled programs and state-level prioritization. The organizations that combine operational depth with clean data will shape outcomes—and capture the upside.

If you want SDG results you can publish without hedging, partner with teams that can execute and verify on the ground.
