Does the entity have processes in place to avoid/ manage conflict of interests involving members of the Board? (Yes/No) If Yes, provide details of the same. [GRI 2-10, 2-15] Yes, the Company has laid out a separate Code of Conduct for the Board of Directors which sets clear guidelines for avoiding and disclosing actual or potential conflicts of interest with the Company. Directors are required to avoid any actual or perceived conflicts of interest that could impair their ability to perform their duties objectively and effectively. While Directors may engage in personal investments and maintain normal social or business interactions, they must not have interests that could negatively influence their responsibilities as members of the Board. The Code of Conduct outlines these expectations and provides guidance, although it does not cover every possible scenario. Any suspected or potential conflict must be disclosed promptly to the Chairman of the Board, who will assess the situation and decide on the appropriate action. Directors are expected to recuse themselves from discussions or decisions where a conflict exists or may appear to exist. Further, the Company also receives disclosure of interest at regular intervals from the directors.
