| In case of risk, approach to adapt or mitigate Demonstrating environmental stewardship can attract clients, partners, and investors who prioritize sustainability. Transitioning to low-emission energy sources, operating from energy-efcient green buildings, and using low-carbon fuel transport not only reduce emissions but also yields monetary savings through lower energy costs and operational efciencies. Additionally, KPIT has initiated GHG inventorization and is developing Decarbonization strategies. |
Business Continuity Planning: The Company establishes business continuity and crisis management plans to ensure preparedness for climate- related disruptions. Committing to reduced emissions and environmentally responsible practices enhances KPIT’s brand image and reputation. |
KPIT’s comprehensive Vendor Code of Conduct encompasses Environmental, Health & Safety, and Human Rights parameters. Suppliers and supply chain partners are required to sign and adhere to Vendor Code of Conduct as a part of contractual agreements. |
| Rationale for identifying the risk / opportunity Addressing climate change presents opportunities for KPIT to innovate and develop sustainable technologies and solutions. By proactively adapting to climate related challenges, KPIT can position itself as a leading player in environmentally conscious IT product/ service provider. |
Climate change presents policy risks as regulatory authorities increasingly require businesses to disclose and commit to emissions reduction targets. Non-compliance with evolving regulations may result in penalties and hinder KPIT’s growth and proftability. Extreme weather events like water scarcity or heavy rainfall pose physical risks to KPIT’s business operations and employee safety, impacting productivity and operational continuity. |
Sustainable supply chain practices mitigate ESG-related risks that threaten business continuity, such as disruptions from environmental disasters, labor violations, or resource scarcity. Proactively managing these risks through sustainable procurement enhances resilience and reduces vulnerabilities. |

Regular medical fitness assessments are conducted to monitor employee well-being, while emergency preparedness protocols are established to efficiently manage potential incidents.
Clear safety guidelines are communicated via Standard Operating Procedures (“SOPs”), ensuring regulatory compliance with all health and safety laws.

To further strengthen employee readiness, the Company conducts regular emergency drills, fostering a culture of awareness and preparedness across its workforce.
- b. What are the processes used to identify work-related hazards and assess risks on a routine and non-routine basis by the entity?

As part of this commitment, the Company has established a comprehensive Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) management system across its major office locations. This system is designed to proactively identify, mitigate, and manage potential workplace hazards, ensuring the wellbeing of all employees.
A central aspect of this system is the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) process, which is instrumental in minimizing workplace risks. The HIRA process enables KPIT to:
-

-
Evaluate and prioritize risks based on their severity and likelihood of occurrence.
-
Implement control measures that effectively mitigate or eliminate identified risks.
-
Monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of these control measures for continuous improvement.
