Governance: Our tax and other contributions
Our tax governance framework is designed to maintain transparency, accountability, and adherence to statutory obligations, ensuring value creation for shareholders and sustainable business growth.
Taxes serve as a fundamental source of revenue for the Governments and are crucial in financing both development initiatives and socio-economic programmes. Consequently, taxes present a substantial opportunity for businesses to showcase their equitable contributions to nation-building covering society, public services, infrastructure, economic advancement and social welfare.
We consider tax as a material topic that plays a significant role in making economic and social contributions facilitating achievement of sustainable development goals. This dedication is in harmony with our aspiration to become a global leader in businesses that enhance lives and assist nations in developing infrastructure through the creation of sustainable value. We believe that companies are under an obligation to comply with prevailing tax legislations and the Management owns a responsibility to the stakeholders to address expectations of good tax practice.
We are committed to fulfilling our tax responsibilities in all jurisdictions where we conduct business. Our approach to taxation and governance is structured to support such objectives and our goal is to consistently meet our tax obligations promptly, aligning with value creation and adhering to the relevant laws in each jurisdiction in which we operate.
As one of the foremost contributors to the exchequers, we acknowledge our duty to operate with integrity and accountability. Our belief is rooted in the creation of sustainable value for all stakeholders over the long term and we seek to affirm our dedication to transparency, build trust among stakeholders and support the establishment of a more accountable global tax framework.
All taxes and related compliance reports are filed within statutory due dates. We strive to remain fully compliant with applicable tax legislations in the regions and geographies where we operate. We seek expertise from tax advisors wherever necessary and monitor our tax compliance in real time. We fulfil our obligation to pay a fair share of taxes in the jurisdictions where we generate value.
