DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SEXUAL HARASSMENT
OF WOMEN AT WORKPLACE (PREVENTION,
PROHIBITION AND REDRESSAL) ACT, 2013
(“POSH ACT")

The PoSH Act remains a vital legislation in India, ensuring
safe and respectful workplaces by preventing sexual
harassment. It serves as a cornerstone in fostering a
secure environment where members can work with
dignity. At ROX, we are deeply committed to upholding
the principles of the Act and promoting a culture
of trust, inclusivity, and professionalism. Along with
our gender-neutral Anti-Sexual Harassment Policy,
we fully comply with the provisions of the PoSH Act.
We have ensured that all our acquired entities are also
PoSH compliant. To address and resolve complaints
effectively, we have an Internal Committee (ic) in
place, further supported by a legal expert specializing
in workplace harassment laws. Through continuous
awareness initiatives and training, we reinforce our
zero-tolerance stance and commitment to a safe
workplace for all.

The following steps have been implemented to
ensure compliance with the statutory requirements
of the PoSH Act:

PoSH Committee:

Since the inception of the PoSH Act, ROX has remained
fully compliant with its mandate by establishing a
dedicated PoSH Internal Committee. The primary
responsibility of this committee is to ensure that all
complaints of workplace sexual harassment are
handled fairly, promptly, and with utmost confidentiality.
The committee is led by a Presiding Officer and
consists of both male and female members, with at
least 50% representation from women. It also includes
representatives from each business unit and location,
ensuring comprehensive coverage and accessibility
for all members. With the integration of new entities, we
have prioritized adequate representation from all the
acquired organizations as well.

Training: In compliance with the PoSH Act, we have
implemented structured training programs to raise
awareness about workplace sexual harassment and
the Act''s provisions. All members, including partners,
are required to complete PoSH training through an
online module. At ROX, PoSH training is mandatory,
covering key modules such as:

¦ Walk through of the PoSH Act

¦ What is covered under sexual harassment

¦ Gender based scenarios under PoSH

¦ Sexual Harassment during remote working

¦ How to raise a complaint

¦ Investigation procedure

Please Note: To reinforce learning, a PoSH Annual
Refresher Training is conducted for all ROX Employees.
Failure to complete the mandatory training within the
stipulated timeframe is recorded as non-compliance
in the concerned member''s or partner''s
performance review.

Complaints: We have not received any PoSH
complaints during the year under review. Although no
complaints were raised under PoSH in FY 25, we ensured
that PoSH awareness was created through our various
outreach programs.

Disciplinary action: No disciplinary action was taken,
as there was no complaint registered during the
year under review.

Compliance: As required under PoSH Act, we have
filed an Annual Report with the competent authorities.
All required documents in compliance with the PoSH Act
have been filed. There have been no non-conformities
or observations identified by our competent authorities.

Other Action taken to create awareness:

During the year under review, with most members
working from office under a structured hybrid model, we
reinforced our commitment to PoSH compliance and
awareness. Through consistent communication, we
shared guidelines, conducted training, and organized
PoSH Awareness Month, ensuring a workplace culture
that remains safe, inclusive, and free from harassment.

To reinforce compliance, we prominently displayed
PoSH posters alongside the statutory boards. Both senior
leadership and senior managers have successfully
completed their PoSH training, demonstrating their
commitment to fostering a safe, respectful, and
harassment-free workplace culture. Training has been
provided to PoSH Committee members in accordance
with the PoSH Act, and we remain committed to further
strengthening compliances.

Full Disclosure Statement:

While the PoSH Act primarily safeguards women from
workplace sexual harassment, we have proactively
expanded the scope of our Sexual Harassment Policy
to ensure protection for all members and partners,
regardless of gender, contractual status, caste, class,
race, ethnicity, or affinity, while remaining aligned with
the provisions of the Act.

Our policy also extends to visitors and casual employees,
reinforcing our commitment to a safe and inclusive
work environment. Additionally, all complaints received
by the Internal Committee (if any) are thoroughly
reviewed and handled with the utmost confidentiality.
