Mahindra & Mahindra Limited | Integrated Annual Report 2025-26

STATUTORY REPORTS | Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report 291 3. Describe the mechanisms to receive and redress grievances of the community [GRI 3-3, GRI 2-25, GRI 413-1] The Company has established a formal grievance redressal mechanism at each of its plant locations to ensure timely and effective resolution of concerns raised by the local community. A grievance register is maintained at the plant entrance gates, where community members can directly record their grievances. Once a grievance is received, it is addressed in accordance with a defined escalation matrix, which typically includes the Plant Operations Head and the Human Resources Team, depending on the nature of the issue. The grievance is first assessed and resolved at the local plant level, ensuring quick and contextual redressal. In cases where resolution at the plant level is not feasible or requires further intervention, the grievance is escalated to higher management levels as required. This structured approach enables transparency, accountability, and responsiveness to the concerns of the community. 4.
