Comprehensive Human Rights Policy & Guidelines
The Adani Group follows a detailed Human Rights Policy, along with stringent guidelines, to uphold Human Rights. These policies underscore our commitment to safeguarding the Human Rights across our operations. They function as a framework to guide our employees and businesses in ensuring total alignment with the highest standards of integrity and ethical conduct. They cover our interactions with both internal and external stakeholders, ensuring that no divergence takes place in terms of the guidelines and policy provisions.
We have carefully aligned our Human Rights Guidelines to the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the International Labour Organisation's Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. This ensures not only the protection of Human Rights for all employees but also across our stakeholder groups, value chains, and partners, endorsing our strong commitment to ethical business practices and respect for human dignity.
Our business operations have, till date, not adversely affected any indigenous communities, nor have we found any such communities within our operational areas. This underscores our respect for the rights and cultural heritage of indigenous people.

Strategic Approach to Human Rights
We have formulated a well-defined Human Rights strategy, which, like our Human Rights Guidelines, is completely aligned with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and International Labour Organisation's Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. Setting equally high standards for our suppliers and business partners, we expect them to adopt similar standards in HR policies and management.
Our Human Rights strategy is designed to ensure stringent compliance with the local and international laws, as well as our internal Human Rights policies. We expeditiously address and mitigate/correct any non-compliance issue. The strategy is focussed on:
Integrated Human Rights Policies
Human Rights principles are well integrated into our business operations, making them a central proposition of our corporate culture.

Due diligence is maintained in the process of identification, prevention, mitigation and consideration of the Human Rights impacts of our business operations and supply chain.
