Whistleblower policy

This whistleblower policy supports a company's code of ethics and business conduct by enabling employees and stakeholders to report suspected wrongdoing without fear of retaliation. It defines reportable conduct such as fraud, corruption, financial irregularities, legal violations and ethical breaches, the reporting channels and designated authority, and the procedure for investigation and resolution. It assures confidentiality and protection for genuine whistleblowers, addresses false or malicious complaints, and sets record-keeping and oversight responsibilities. Indian companies adopt it to strengthen governance, transparency and compliance and to detect misconduct early.
