German-Indian Round Table (GIRT)

The German-India Round Table (GIRT) has been founded in 2001 by entrepreneur Mr. Rudolf Weiler in Hamburg in association with individuals who have business ties and interest in India. GIRT today is a well known organisation where business people can easily get advice and access to information about Indo-German business.

BSCI RoundTables 2011

Indo-German relations have a long tradition. Trade and investment are growing fast. An increasing number of Indian companies are now looking for Germany and more and more German entrepreneurs are attracted by the Indian market.

However, there is still a need for actual, reliable and practically oriented information in India as well as in Germany. The IGEP Foundation in association with Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) organizes the Round Table on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). BSCI is an initiative of European retail companies initiated by the Foreign Trade Association (FTA), Brussels. IGEP Foundation is the representative office of BSCI in India.

To promote synergies and better co-operation between all stakeholders involved in the social and environmental aspects the first workshop was organized in April 2003. Since then a regular process of interaction in institutionalizing the round tables is taking place and the number of members associated with this initiative is increasing with each Round Table.
