Code of Conduct 2024

Full policy

1.Purpose and Overview

Application:

The Code is applicable to all employees, temporary employees, consultants and contractors (each, a “Covered Person”) of ANAROCK.

Purpose:

The code summarizes the values, principles and business practices that guide the business conduct of the Company and also provides a set of basic principles to guide Covered Persons regarding the minimum ethical requirements expected of them. All Covered Persons are expected to become familiar with the Code and to apply these principles in the daily performance of their jobs.

Overriding Responsibilities:

It is the responsibility of all Covered Persons to maintain a work environment that fosters fairness, respect and integrity. The Company requires all Covered Persons to conduct themselves in a lawful, honest and ethical manner in all of the Company’s business practices.

Questions:

All Covered Persons are expected to seek the advice of a supervisor, a manager, the Human Resources Department, the Legal Department or the Ethics Ombudsman for additional guidance or if there is any question about issues discussed in this Code.

Violations:

If any Covered Person observes possible unethical or illegal conduct, such concerns or complaints should be reported as set forth in section 12 below.

2. Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations

All Covered Persons of the Company are required to comply with all of the applicable laws, rules and regulations of India. Local laws may in some instances be less restrictive than the principles set forth in this Code. In those situations, Covered Persons should comply with the Code, even if the conduct would otherwise be legal under applicable local laws. On the other hand, if local laws are more restrictive than the Code, Covered Persons should comply with applicable local laws. Further, any provision of this Code that is contrary to law in a particular jurisdiction will have no force or effect in that jurisdiction solely with respect to such provision(s), although this Code (including any such provision) will remain applicable in all other jurisdictions.

Special attention is drawn to the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 (POSH). All Covered Persons are required to be aware of the provisions of the Act and ensure compliance. Covered Persons are encouraged to report any cases that are in violation of the provisions of this Act. This will be treated as gross misconduct and would be dealt with accordingly.

3. Conflicts of Interest

1. Avoidance of Conflicts. All Covered Persons are required to conduct themselves in a manner and with such ethics and integrity so as to avoid a conflict of interest, either real or apparent.

2. Declaration of conflicts. All employees are required to declare any existing or potential conflicts at the time of joining or when the situations develop during the course of employment. Omitting to declare any conflict of interest would be considered an unethical act.

3. Conflict of Interest Defined. A conflict of interest is any circumstance where an individual’s personal interest interferes with the interests of the Company. All Covered Persons have a duty to avoid financial, business or other relationships (including relationships of an intimate or romantic nature) that might be opposed to the interests of the Company or might cause a conflict with the performance of their duties.

4. Potential Conflict Situations. Conflicts can arise when a Covered Persons take actions or have interests that may make it difficult to perform their Company related work objectively and effectively. Conflicts also may arise when Covered Persons, or a member of their families, receives improper personal benefits as a result of their position in the Company. Conflicts may also arise when Covered Persons are involved in romantic or intimate relationships with either a team member or a member of any other department of the Company.

5. Examples of Potential Conflicts. Some of the areas where a conflict could arise include:

a. Employment by a competitor, regardless of the nature of the employment, while employed by the Company.

b. Placement of business with any firm or organization in which a Covered Person, or any member of the Covered Person’s family, has a substantial ownership interest or management responsibility.

c. Omitting to declare at the time of appointment that a sibling, spouse, sister in law, partner or other family member is in employment of the Company.

d. Disclosing the Company’s confidential information to a third party (other than as permitted in accordance with Section 7 below) without the prior consent of senior management.

6. Questions Regarding Conflicts. All questions regarding conflicts of interest and whether a particular situation constitutes a conflict of interest should be directed to the Legal Head or the Ethics Ombudsman.

4. Corporate Opportunities

Covered Persons are prohibited from (i) taking for themselves or their families opportunities that are discovered through the use of Company property, information or position, (ii) using Company property, information or position for personal gain, and/or (iii) competing with the Company.

For example:

1. To the extent that a Covered Person learns of an investment or sales opportunity because of their position with the Company, the Covered Person must not take any actions that result in the Company losing revenue or a business opportunity.

2. Giving access to friends, competitors, family or any 3rd Party to the sales pipeline or sales leads will be considered an unethical act.

3. Entering into an arrangement with a client directly or through a friend/family member/associate such that the Company loses current or future revenue is an unethical act.

5. Gifts, Entertainment and Contributions

• Receipt of Gifts and Entertainment

The Company’s aim is to deter providers of gifts or entertainment from seeking or receiving special favours from Covered Persons in connection with activities performed by or for, or business relationships established with, the Company. The concern is that gifts of more than a nominal value may cause Covered Persons to feel placed in a position of “obligation” and/or give the appearance of a conflict of interest. Covered Persons should not solicit any third party for any gift, gratuity, entertainment or any other item regardless of its value. Covered Persons, including members of their immediate families, may accept or participate in “reasonable entertainment”. As a guideline, covered persons should ensure that gifts or entertainment do not exceed Rs. 2500. In case of any confusion or query on whether a gift should be accepted the Covered Persons should reach out to either their immediate boss or the legal head to seek clarification/approval.

• Anti-Corruption:

All Covered Persons are strictly prohibited from offering or giving gifts, meals or entertainment to business partners or others in order to improperly influence them. For example, gifts to be given at the wedding or to a client’s child should be reasonable. In general, the guideline of a limit of Rs. 2500 is to be adhered to. Any queries/clarifications should be directed to the immediate boss or the Legal head.

6. Outside employment

Restrictions and approvals:

Subject to any departmental restrictions, Covered Persons are not permitted to engage in outside employment unless it is specifically approved and authorised by the Company.

Self-Employment:

For purposes of this Code, outside employment includes self-employment.

7. Confidential Information Obligations

Confidentiality:

Covered Persons are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of information entrusted to them as a result of their roles with the Company, except when disclosure is authorized or legally mandated.

Each Covered Person must comply with all applicable Company policies concerning confidentiality and/or public statements, as they may be amended from time to time.

9. Protection and use of company property

All Covered Persons should protect the Company’s assets and ensure they are used for legitimate business purposes. Improper use includes unauthorized personal appropriation or use of the Company’s assets, data or resources, including computer equipment, software and data.
