Policy Objectives

1. The Company is committed to developing a culture where it is safe for all Directors and employees to raise concerns about any poor or unacceptable practice and any event of misconduct.
2. The Company is committed to adhere to the highest standards of ethical, moral and legal conduct of business operations. To maintain these standards, the Company encourages its employees and Directors who have concerns about suspected misconduct to come forward and express these concerns without fear of punishment or unfair treatment.
3. Vigil (Whistle Blower) mechanism provides a channel to the employees and Directors to report to the management concerns about unethical behaviour, fraud, violation of the Policy, whether actual or suspected. The mechanism provides for adequate safeguards against victimization of employees and Directors to avail of the mechanism and also provide for direct access to the Chairman of the Audit Committee in exceptional cases.
4. This neither releases employees and directors from their duty of confidentiality in the course of their work nor can it be used as a route for raising malicious or unfounded allegations about a personal situation.
