To safeguard for protection of employees from reprisal or victimization, MCL has adopted the "Whistle Blower Policy" of its parental company as per Regulation 22 of SEBI. The clause states that a listed company shall establish a mechanism for directors and employees to report concerns about unethical behaviour to the management. These reports may also include actual or suspected fraud, and violation of the company's code of conduct or ethics policy. MCL has a robust mechanism in place to protect whistle- blowers from any kind of harm or retribution.
