 OBJECTIVE

Anupam Rasayan India Limited (the “Anupam Rasayan/ Company”) strives to spread awareness among its sphere of influence, including its employees, internal stakeholders other than employees, and external stakeholders (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Stakeholders”) about their rights and responsibilities towards ensuring non-violation of human rights.

This Human Rights Policy (the “Policy”) is framed to codify the framework of rights and responsibilities of the employees towards the Company and each other, rights and obligations of the Stakeholders and the responsibilities of the Company towards its Stakeholders.

The Company believes that being proactive on human rights makes not just good business sense but also morally the right thing to do. The Company is sensitive of its role in contribution towards advancing and practising human rights within its spheres of influence and the benefits such an approach can have on its people and businesses. The Company ensures its supports in the protection of human rights and must not be complicit in abuses of human rights.

❖       Work culture and compensation

The Company is committed to maintaining in its dealing with all its Stakeholders a policy of non- discrimination, protection from any abusive act against its Stakeholders. All the Stakeholders must be treated with dignity and respect. All the permanent or contract basis employees shall not be subjected to abuse or harassing work environment at the workplace.

We believe in augmenting the culture of our organisation through diversification in human resources. We practice no discrimination based on religion, caste, creed, gender, ethnic group, colour or race during appointment/recruitment procedure and promotion, increments, bonuses or in providing compensation and any other benefits to the employees. We pay fair and performance-linked compensation which meets or exceeds the legal and industry norms.

We always strive to arrange product solutions that contribute to sustainability for sustainable development. By doing so, we are minimising the risk of harming the environment and people around us.

❖       Anti- Corruption

Corruption obstructs the realisation of human rights, and thus, the Company focuses on a non-tolerant attitude towards corruption. The Company values ethical behaviour and encourage the practice in its workforce.

In case of any violation by any Stakeholders associated with our organisation, disciplinary action will be taken according to the framework outlined in this Policy, Vigil Mechanism/Whistle Blower policy1. Employees shall additionally be governed by the ‘Employees Code of Conduct’ as imbibed in the Company’s ‘Human Resource’ policy.

There are no areas in the Company’s operations where the right to exercise freedom of association and collective bargaining may be at risk for its employees where, long term settlements are considered equivalent to collective bargaining agreements as we do not have trade unions.

❖       Business Partners

We know the human-rights related risks in our business relationships. Wherever any instance of breach of human rights will come to our knowledge, we will urge to end the same promptly.
