2. Governance Principles

Governance principles in practice
PrincipleWhat it means in practice
IntegrityBusiness is conducted lawfully and fairly everywhere we operate, with zero tolerance for bribery, corruption, discrimination, harassment and retaliation: every substantiated breach is acted on.
AccountabilityEach policy has an executive owner, each control in scope has an operator, and each AI system within the AI management system has a named owner. Authority to approve, release, halt and accept risk is written down.
TransparencyPolicies, principles, certifications and relevant assurance information are made available to stakeholders. Customers are notified of material changes in accordance with contractual commitments, subject to legal, security, confidentiality and regulatory limits.
Risk-informed decisionsOne enterprise risk lifecycle, one rating scale and a stated risk appetite for each category guide decisions. Risks are escalated, treated or formally accepted by the appropriate authority, with residual risk documented and reviewed.
Responsible AI by designHuman oversight, fairness, transparency, security, privacy and accountability are conditions of release for each AI feature and agent within the AI management system.
Continual improvementAudits, incidents, customer assessments and regulatory change feed a corrective-action process with owners and target dates.

3. Governance Structure

Direction flows from Executive Leadership to the Information Security & Compliance Steering Committee (ISCSC), which oversees the management systems for security, privacy and AI and provides governance oversight of compliance and conduct. Designated officers operate those systems. The POSH Internal Committee in India handles complaints within its statutory jurisdiction (section 4.4). The Governance, Risk & Compliance function turns decisions into controls inside every team. Internal audit and external auditors test that the system works as described.

3.1 Executive Leadership

The Board of Directors provides strategic oversight and counsel to Executive Leadership; executive authority and accountability for the Company's governance rest with the Chief Executive Officer. Executive Leadership is the highest management body. It sets strategy and risk appetite, approves charters, policies and the scope of the management systems, reviews enterprise risk, governance, AI, security, privacy and environmental, social and governance considerations quarterly, and holds sole authority to accept Critical risks. It is chaired by the Chief Executive Officer and comprises the Company's senior executives.

3.2 Information Security & Compliance Steering Committee (ISCSC)

The ISCSC is the standing oversight committee for the information security, privacy, compliance and AI management systems, and for compliance and conduct. It is chaired by the Chief Executive Officer and operates under an approved charter. It meets quarterly, and whenever a significant change, risk or incident requires it, and conducts a formal management review of each management system at least annually. It reviews risks, incidents, audit findings, policy exceptions and management-system performance. It also reviews policies and amendments for approval by the Chief Executive Officer on behalf of Executive Leadership, and reviews risk-treatment plans and residual-risk decisions with Executive Leadership. Decisions and actions are recorded and tracked to closure.

In its conduct and integrity role, the ISCSC oversees the Code of Business Conduct & Ethics, the Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Statement and the Whistleblower Policy. It oversees how reports and investigations are handled, approves high-risk third-party engagements and policy exceptions, and reports material matters to Executive Leadership. Investigations are conducted independently of the business area concerned. Matters involving members of Executive Leadership are investigated independently of management and overseen by the ISCSC, with the outcome reported to Executive Leadership.

3.3 AI Governance

The ISCSC acts as the AI Governance Committee. When sitting on AI matters, the ISCSC exercises the AI Governance Committee's functions. It:

  • reviews AI risk and impact assessments prepared by the AI Risk Officer;
  • considers AI-specific issues, exceptions and interested-party requirements;
  • maintains the AI management system records under document control; and
  • holds the authority to require additional testing or approval before deployment and to withhold, restrict, roll back or withdraw the release of an AI system.

Residual AI risk is accepted at the authority level set out in section 7.

3.4 POSH Internal Committee

A statutory Internal Committee is constituted in India under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 ("the POSH Act"), including an external member. It receives, investigates and determines complaints of sexual harassment within the statutory timelines, independently of the management structure, and reports annually as required by law. Complaints within the Internal Committee's statutory jurisdiction are handled by the Committee under the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Statement; all other complaints are handled under the Global Anti-Harassment & Respectful Workplace Policy. Its constitution and procedure are described in the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Statement.

5. Policy Framework

The Company operates a three-tier document hierarchy. Charters and management-system manuals set mandate and scope, policies set mandatory requirements, and procedures, standards and SOPs set out how those requirements are met. Each document carries a document identifier, a version number, an owner and an approver, and is held in the controlled document repository.

Policies are reviewed at least annually and whenever law, corporate structure, business model or risk profile changes materially. New and revised policies are recommended by the owner with the GRC function, reviewed by the ISCSC, approved by the Chief Executive Officer on behalf of Executive Leadership and communicated to those affected; employees acknowledge the Code of Business Conduct & Ethics and the policies applicable to their role on joining and annually thereafter.

6. Risk Management

Enterprise risk is managed under the Enterprise Risk Management Framework, which establishes a single risk lifecycle, a common rating scale, a stated appetite for each risk category and defined acceptance authorities. Domain methodologies (information security risk assessment under the information security management system, privacy risk and impact assessment under the privacy management system, AI risk and impact assessment under the AI management system, and third-party risk assessment) feed the enterprise risk profile. The enterprise risk profile is reviewed by the ISCSC and by Executive Leadership at least quarterly. Within the certified management systems, the domain methodologies govern risk assessment and treatment. Acceptance criteria and treatment thresholds are defined in the Company's management-system manuals. Treatment plans for Critical risks are approved by Executive Leadership; for High risks by the ISCSC; for Moderate and Low risks by the risk owner's functional head with Governance, Risk & Compliance concurrence. Residual risk is accepted by the risk owner for Low and Moderate risks, by the ISCSC for High risks and by Executive Leadership for Critical risks. The AI management system applies the equivalent process to AI risk and impact assessments.

Material changes affecting customers, including changes to sub-processors, security posture and AI terms are notified in accordance with contractual commitments.

Concerns and questions may be raised through any of the following channels:

Concerns about Human Resources or Executive Leadership are escalated to the ISCSC; concerns about the Chief Executive Officer are escalated to the Board of Directors. Nothing in this document prevents any person from reporting a concern to a government, regulatory or law-enforcement authority, and no confidentiality obligation owed to the Company restricts such a report.
