highest standards of ethical, moral and legal conduct of business operations and in order

concerns about suspected misconduct to come forward and express these concerns without
fear of punishment or unfair treatment. The mechanism provides for adequate safeguards
against victimization of Directors and employees to avail of the mechanism and also
