These frameworks govern critical aspects of our business activities and ensure adherence to legal, ethical, and operational standards. We are committed to transparency, exemplified by our prompt disclosures and unwavering compliance with regulatory requirements. Our corporate governance guidelines are a living document, regularly reviewed and updated to reflect stakeholder feedback, evolving workplace dynamics, regulatory changes, and best practices. In essence, our meticulously crafted and efficiently executed policies facilitate seamless operations, ensure ongoing compliance, and contribute to the long-term success of the Company. Additionally, these frameworks promote ethical conduct, ensure consistency across operations, and foster stakeholder trust.

Our codes and policies are accessible to all stakeholders, including employees, through internal and external communication platforms.
